As A Matter Of Fact, There Are some, Already Written In Our Soul, Needed To Be Unfolded By Ourselves,

I made it to the top! Resumes are not always written in fancy diplomas or degrees, but in knowing how, when, where and why. It's a mixture between knowledge and experience.

La Felicidad

Te estoy diciendo que seras feliz! Sueltala! tienes que soltarla, y le dio un trancazo en la cabeza! Tu no entiendes! No estas apto para comprenderlo ahora, tienes que dejarla ir porque el futuro se avista mejor si la dejas ir hoy, y le solto con injundia otro punetazo en el ojo. Hay veces que las cosas son asi! Vienen Asi y tienen que ser asi!, y le solto otro golpe en el otro ojo para que entendiera la cruda realidad. Tu no lo entiendes! Y tienes que entenderlo, hay veces que tenemos que entender como la realidad se presenta! Y le solto otra patada en la boca, y ya tirado en el suelo, y con los labios viscozos llenos de ketchup que parecia malviciado. No lo entiendes? Replica ella, no lo entiendes? que para tener la felicidad necesitas perder la vision y la facultad de hablar?

Las Mil y Una Noches con Ms Beautiful

Las casas, tienen los aromas y los aires, de los dos que la construyen

En un pasaje del rio, un hombre corre fuertemente, y zigzagueando mira constantemente hacia atrás para checar si era perseguido. Chocaba a veces con barandales de rendijas que protegían de caídas al rio, o bien, con arbustos que delineaban las acercas del Río. “Disculpe! discúlpe” decía a quienes propulsaba con su movimiento y no queriendo que cayeran,  les tomaba los hombros para sostenerlos de caer al suelo por la inercia de su rápido caminar.

Se nota agitado, todavía perlas de sudor exudan por su cuerpo, y mira constantemente hacia atrás para cerciorarse de no ser visto , mienntras sostiene frenéticamente un libro entre sus manos.

Mas adelante, un poco más allá, una nińa observa un bote turístico que pasa por el río, y repentinamente siente que algo la impulsa con violencia por la rapidez del momento, el hombre cae al suelo, haciendo pasar el acto como natural, y un cuaderno vuela por los aires y cae al piso. El hombre y la nińa están en el piso, y tras expresar una disculpa, alcanza a proferir una palabras a la menor.  El hombre se levanta repentinamente y sigue corriendo tras la laderas peraltadas del Río, mientras la mamá observó lo sucedido desde lejos, y corre en auxilio de su hija.

Estás bien?, pregunta la mamá cuando llega a su auxilio, tratando de limpiarle el pasto pegado a sus ropas, y profiriendo improperios contra el hombre que había arrojado a su hija al suelo. 

Si mami, gracias, contesta la menor consternada, tratando de entender qué había pasado, mientras contempla el libro tirado en el suelo, y tras extender su mano lo agarra y dice “mira mami, se le olvidó recoger este cuaderno con la prisa”.

La mamá lo toma, y era una cuaderno de crucigramas. Hojea cada una de las páginas, y observa que todos los crucigramas estaban hechos en cada una de las hojas, pero había uno que resalta porque existen unas líneas que faltaban por cubrir.

La mamá mira las líneas en curiosidad,  y una de ellas dice “Cuarta letra del alfabeto”

La segunda dice “segunda letra del alfabeto”

La tercera dice “mineral más preciado en la Tierra, que brilla, y es apreciado por las mujeres en los anillos. Primera letra solamente”.

La cuarta dice “repita la línea primera”

La quinta dice “primera letra del alfabeto”

La sexta dice “letras dada a los plurales”

La séptima dice “cómo se expresa el numero 15 en número romano”

La octava dice “Octavio cumplió 15 _________. Llenar el espacio en blanco, sin la diéresis.

La novena dice “signo lingüístico que sirve para terminar una oración?

La décima dice “tres palabras que se ponen al final de todo negocio en línea, y que empieza con una c”

La úndecima dice “todas estas palabras están en minúsculas y seguido sin espacios”

La duodécima “Cuál es el apellido de la persona a quien adora el emisario y envía una carta?

La decimotercera: “Bienvenida esta es tu casa, creada para tí”.

La decimo cuarta dice: Esto es sólo válido por este día hasta la medianoche”

Décimoquinta: Las casas, tienen los aromas y los aires, de los dos que la construyen

Writing Tips

Maintaining Motivation to Write

❀

➼ if you’re bored writing a part & want to move on to another scene… imagine how bored your readers must be

➝ keep it interesting and meaningful ; write every scene like it will be your favorite

➼ if you’re stuck on a scene — skip it

➝ use placeholders and come back to it when motivation strikes

➝ personally, I do something like: {ENTER: battle scene} and then I’ll list details, lines, or dialogue I want to include so I don’t lose my ideas

➼ if you’re stuck on where to go with a scene — delete the last line and reroute

➝ keep your last line saved somewhere or in brackets — never actually delete anything, but this can help broaden your perspective and encourage creativity

➼ if you’re stuck on a character name — use placeholders

➝ I love to research my names intensely; I’ll spend way too long researching that I’ll forget what I wanted to start writing ; plus once I get attached to a name I am reluctant to change it, even if I think of a better one

➝ so I’ll temporarily replace the name with something like: [A] or [Villain] or [King]

➼ if you don’t have motivation to write an entire excerpt, write a sentence for each of the five senses in the scene

➝ touch, sight, hearing, taste, smell

➝ having these details can help immerse yourself back into the scene when you’re ready to write it

Contracts in the Entertainment Business

Contracts in the world of entertainment are important because they involve different aspects of the relationship between artist and manager. The contract stipulates the extent to which the manager will commit to the artist. There are agreements that could only include organizing tours for the artist. There are others contracts that might include planning the professional career of the artist involving not only the creation of the artistic image but also organizing every performance, recording, and interviews.

A contract that defines a superficial relationship between artist and manager might only include planning tours. This type of contract might not be beneficial for the artist in terms of professional growth and image development in the entertainment industry. The amount of time the manager spends on the development of the artist’s career is dedicated to plan live performances and get the money. According to Howard, a manager who establishes this type of relationship with the artist might not know much about business development.

There is another type of contract in which the manager is committed to bring out most of the artist’s capabilities. The contract includes an elaborated plan, detailed organization, a meticulous design, and precise control of the professional career of the artist. The manager is also responsible for finding the financial funds that might be needed it to reach the summit of success.

According to Paul Allen the functions of a manager should include: 1. All the phases of artist’s career in the entertainment industry 2. The appropriate music and show designed for live performances. 3. Publicity, public relations, employment, and advertising. 4. Image and related matters. 5. Booking and talent agencies that work on behalf of the artist. 6. The selection of other key team members such as attorneys, business managers, accountants, publicists, and a Webmaster.

In addition to the functions outlined before by Allen, George Howard suggests that the manager should go beyond signing a contract with the artist by providing a business development scheme. The manager should not see the artist as an investment that could pay off in cash after settling a recording deal. According to Howard management is “about leveraging the brand equity to create direct revenue streams, as well as strategic partnerships where you, again, create visibility (thus increasing brand equity) and revenue.”  He also mentioned that “most of the managers are not prepared to do business development.”

Writing Fanfiction: Tips for Avoiding Common Pitfalls

Fanfiction is an often under-rated genre. Tons of authors have honed their writing skills with fanfiction, not to mention the millions of writers and readers who love exploring familiar stories and characters! Today, NaNoWriMo participant Ville V. Kokko has a few tips for making fanfiction writing shine:

Fanfiction is a popular form of writing and one of the recognized genres for novels on NaNoWriMo. Yet, it’s also stereotyped as an inferior—some might call it silly—form of writing. While denigrating any genre as a whole is never a good idea, there are some common patterns in fanfiction that may contribute to this stereotype.

Of course, one of the popular stereotypes is that fanfiction is full of “Mary Sues”: overpowered, supposedly awesome self-insertion wish-fulfillment characters. I’ll skip that familiar topic and dive a little deeper into what’s behind it and what other fanfiction tropes can appear for similar reasons.

1. Give your characters some depth.

Fanfiction is almost by definition created by people who were touched by the original work enough to want to build something more out of its foundation. This can be a great fount for good story ideas: what if, what next, what about this character’s unexplored story, etc.

BEFORE THE FIGHT

Oh Ms Beautiful Ms Beautiful

Oh Ms Beautiful, Ms Beautiful

How many times have you fallen into the same spot? 

Implementing strategies, you think they are right

And some others, mistakenly understood, your purpose and the right

Be brave! Be brave

Only heroes in their own characters stand the weight

And the purpose of your own inside the mess

Fight, the fight for you

For your principles

For your career

Fight, the good fight

But do not let them win the fight

Of liberating a mind, in a conflicted spot

Of a broken mind

Share with someone who brings a smile to your face! 😊 Help us count down to PEOPLE’s World’s #MostBeautiful cover reveal on April 20—and remember to #saysomethingbeautiful every day!

The Coca Cola logo or vending machine was shown only 10 seconds out of 1:31 minutes, in all these scenes from real life commercial. 

That is all it takes, a brief moment, when a brand is positioned. The logic and magic, strategy and creativity are together to build a brand. Why we do not let the Coca Cola Logo stays in right hand corner along the 1:31? The reason is  the magic side, the creativity side, the story behind is what matters to associate it with the brand. That is all it takes to position the name brand into the public.

 When enough individuals arrive at the same gut feeling, a company can be said to have a brand. In other words, a brand .Is not what YOU say it is. It’s what THEY say it is.
