Any Performing Arts in NY?
answers1: This is a piggyback from your previous question. It is
OBVIOUS that you do not want to do your own work here - which is to
research the venues and groups, county by county. Since I own a
chamber music business north of NYC, I already DID this - I send out
bulk mailings, advertising, etc, - and I need to know what my
competitors are doing. I am NOT going to share this with you - this
is the type of DB that an arts management professional SELLS - if in
fact they would be FOOLISH as to do so - or if they were employed by
an arts organization to accumulate this data. You can pick up
physical, printed material, and start databasing - or you can hit all
the websites for arts tourism in those area. I did. It too k me
several weeks to complete MINE - yours should not take you much
longer.
answers2: Of course there's performing arts in NY. NY is also known
from the great performing arts they have.
answers3: the school of Juliard or ABC
answers4: tricky matter. research on to yahoo or google. that can assist!

Help! How to get into a performing arts school?
answers1: Maybe to research and kind of learn all the different types
of dancing? Get in some background knowledge?
answers2: To get into ANY performing arts school, including DANCE
schools, you need to have been TRAINING since you were about 4 or 5
years old AND you have to AUDITION MULTIPLE TIMES against other
hopefuls who HAVE ALSO been training for 8 to 10 years.. Being
DELUSIONAL id OK because all tweens and teenagers ARE delusional..
but when you start believing your own delusions.. that is called
"PSYCHOTIC" so be careful with tossing all those wild dreams around
answers3: For the best answers, search on this site <a

What kind of "performing arts" activities can I do with older kids who are completely uninterested?
answers1: Aw teens, yes well that just about says it doesn't it? Ok,
if you have not done this yet I would actually ask the kids what they
like about the performing arts and what they would like to try out.
Ask them what kind of characters they like in movies and TV and go
further with if they would like to play as such a character in a
theatre improv. The answer about making the event teen run is a good
one and your supervising/influencing indirectly the direction it goes
is one way of addressing it. <br>
<br>
I don't think the students are apethic, I think there is a break in
communication between what they like and want to do and what the
activities have to offer. In most classes the instructor makes the
students share what they want to get out of a class. It's no
different with a group of teens. I would try using some reverse
psychology too here. <br>
<br>
When a group of people is down to two it is rather difficult to do an
exercise which is why you would be better off doing something more
suited for an individual exercise for both students together. <br>
<br>
Again the idea of "advertising" your class to the campers is a good
idea too. Make flyers, have the two students when classes are small
make them with you so you can go out together and recruit more class
members.
answers2: I feel your pain. My first thought was poetry, as in poetry
slam. But, given that they don't want to do improv, I'm not sure. I'm
curious about the "focus" games. Sounds like you have 2 willing
participants. Maybe they can spread the word? <br>
<br>
Here's an idea -- I sometimes volunteer at a great teen center. There
is a lot of supervision, but the teens get to "run" the activities.
Why not advertise your activity time as a place where the teens get to
"run the show." That might bring 'em in. Then, use your talents to
guide the process w/out them knowing it. Have some instruments handy
(got any drums there at camp? -- I'm thinking drum circle with a teen
leader leading the circle with your gentle guidance), some props, some
rap lyrics, some poetry, etc. Get as many things as you can to inspire
them. Then, see what happens. <br>
<br>
I would definitely get some inspired teens to spread the word about
your activity (that it is "'teen run"). <br>
<br>
Hope this answer gets you thinking about how to solve this. Good luck to you!
answers3: As a teen myself, I know what may get them interested. Try
taking music that they listen to and incorporate it into what you want
to teach them. Try the same with movies. <br>
<br>
Good Luck!

performing arts with no experience?
answers1: Why not? It's all about you. Just practice and try. No harm
in that. Though there are many critics so don't let them give your
hopes up okay hun? <br>
<br>
-Heather <br>
www.myspace.com/heather126
answers2: of course you can, try auditioning for some local theatrical
companies, there wud have to be some around, look up "operatic
societies" or "theatrical societies" in the phone book, me and my
siblings have done it since we were 2, but they will accept you wen u
are older, go out, try, you got nothing to lose :)
answers3: if you have no experience, you wont make it big
answers4: it depends on what you want to get into. You should usually
have some experience though.
answers5: Yes
answers6: Yes, you will be able to. Be sure to take advantage of ANY
opportunities you can get where you live now-- take classes in
fine/performing arts, learn to sing, learn to dance. Find a community
theatre in your town or one nearby. Find out if there are any churches
in the area that have a drama troupe, even puppetry-- I know several
excellent actors who make a good living with puppetry. Even try
speech/debate type events. Put on skits for your family and friends
and learn how to present yourself in different ways. <br>
<br>
This might not sound as fun to you right now, but one of the best
things you can do if you don't have any opportunities to get
experience is to read as much as possible. Read Stanislavski books
(The Actor Prepares, etc.) and read plays. Even if you don't "get" it
all at first, if you have read a lot, it will be easier for you to
grasp concepts when a director is telling you what to do later on.
answers7: First of all, ignore Answer King's response: "If you have no
experience you won't make it big." Making it "big" should never, ever
be one's primary goal in the arts. Better to work regularly than
become some sort of "star." <br>
<br>
Now to your question: The answer is yes, you can get into the
performing arts later in life. History is full of established actors
who started in their 40s, 50s, and even 60s, but I presume you're
thinking about more along the lines of your late teens or early 20s,
which of course are not that far off. <br>
<br>
As for your statement that there is no place in your town to do any
performing, does that also include even church programs. I know it
sounds corny and perhaps silly, but even a church Christmas pageant is
performance experience, particularly if you're singing or have some
lines of dialogue. Also, even joining a church choir would give you
an outlet for your singing; yes, the repertoire may not be dazzling in
a theatrical sense, but it's still music -- and still an area for
learning and growing. <br>
<br>
Learning and growing are the keys here. I'm assuming that your
primary passion is theatre, and there are ways you can learn now even
without the benefit of lessons or performances. You can obtain books
on acting and auditions and read them [I highly recommend "Audition"
by Michael Shurtleff; it's about auditions but also has astounding
information about acting and, equally important, how to behave at
auditions and rehearsals]. As you read thing and discover new ideas,
don't just read passively: take notes, either on paper [preferable] or
stopping every paragraph and mentally paraphrasing what you've just
read: "In other words, what they're saying is......" If your town is
so small that the library has limited materials, ask them if they have
reciprocal borrowing agreements with library systems in other cities.
If not, you may have to buy some; there are a ton of books available,
so I strongly recommend perusing stuff on Amazon -- and take time to
read the feedback/reviews that other purchasers have posted. And of
course, you can also start reading plays, but I'd aim more for
learning about the craft of acting/singing first. <br>
<br>
<br>
I also strongly recommend watching videos/DVDs of performers/shows you
admire: don't just sit there and enjoy them, but really study what the
artists are doing. If you see something that really impresses you,
like a particularly well-performed song in a musical, watch it 5 or 6
or 20 times. The point is not to copy their performance technique,
but to analyze what they're doing to be so good -- facial expressions,
hand gestures, double-takes, interactions with others. Hollywood
films are very good at looking like everything is effortless and
happening for the very first time, but I assure you there's a lot of
work and care to prepare for them, and that kind of "perfection" IS
attainable live in a theatre as well. At 13, you won't be able to
figure out everything that's going on, but it would be a start. <br>
<br>
If you spend just 30 minutes per day doing some reading/studying, in
one year that's 180 hours of learning -- hardly inconsequential.
Multiply that by several years, and by the time you move to a larger
city you'll have an impressive amount of learning. <br>
<br>
Don't waste time lamenting that you're not performing now -- that's a
waste of time, and at 13 you have more years ahead of you than you can
fully realize. In a couple of years, you could even take the lead by
putting on a play, or find a pianist and put together a short
concert/recital -- one of the most fulfilling things is to create
performance opportunities, rather than wait for them to cross your
path. <br>
<br>
Finally, I'll give you the number one rule in acting: 90% of acting
is REacting. Never jump the gun -- always listen to the other
actors/characters, and respond naturally. In other words, YOU know
what your next action will be, but you mustn't show the audience until
the appropriate time. <br>
<br>
Best of luck to you!

hopes up okay hun? <br>

4 years of history for NYU?
answers1: In terms of career, psychology and history do not pair very
well. I could suggest you do History 2 ap or transfer your credits to
another university for a full degree in history.
answers2: i think of you misinterpret that. For NYU, you may wish a
minimum of: 4 years of English with a heavy emphasis on writing; 3-4
years of historic previous/social learn; 3-4 years of arithmetic; 3-4
years of laboratory sciences; and 3-4 years of a distant places
language. (quoted from NYU website) Psych is seen a social technology,
no longer a historic previous. yet you do no longer go with 4 years of
historic previous. you go with 3-4 years of historic previous and
social sciences, mixed. Do you have that?

What is comparitive history?
answers1: Comparative history has nothing to do with "comparing events
in two or more places/times". Comparative history is an attempt to
discover the natural laws that govern the course of history in the
long-run. Most of professional historians find the idea of natural
law being a driving force of history repulsive and thus consider
comparative history a waste of time. <br>
<br>
The problem with most of comparative history is that scholars who do
it are usually educated in the wrong discipline (history) and thus are
unable to support their theories with any sort of verifiable formal
model. Most of people who produce convincing comparative history are
either mathematicians or life scientists (or, in case of Peter
Turchin, whose "Historical Dynamics" I highly recommend, both).
answers2: Comparative history is the comparison between different
societies at a given time or sharing similar cultural conditions.
Proponents of this approach include American historians Barrington
Moore and Herbert E. Bolton; British historians Arnold Toynbee and
Geoffrey Barraclough; and German historian Oswald Spengler. Several
sociologists have tried their hand, including Max Weber, Pitirim
Sorokin, S. N. Eisenstadt, Seymour Martin Lipset, and Michael Mann.
<br>
<br>
Historians generally accept the comparison of particular institutions
(banking, women's rights, ethnic identities) in different societies,
but since the hostile reaction to Toynbee in the 1950s, generally do
not pay much attention to sweeping comparative studies.

answers3: Best Answer: Comparative history has nothing to do with
"comparing events in two or more places/times". Comparative history is
an attempt to discover the natural laws that govern the course of
history in the long-run. Most of professional historians find the idea
of natural law being a driving force of history repulsive and thus
consider comparative history a waste of time.

According to bible, Why God does not know about exact genealogy of Jesus pbuh?
answers1: Because Jesus did have a blood mother... <br>
<br>
and if you think about it, He did have a Father...for we are all
Children of God.... <br>
<br>
As far as the numbers, the bible(new testament) was not translated, or
copied, and accurately as the old testament.....copy after copy were
made...who is to say a monk was copying something and was like....God
wouldn't do that...and changed the bible?!?!?
answers2: Because the Bible was written by mankind, edited and,
translated, over and over again. It was intended to be the "Word of
God" .... but it is not. It is the word of man and what man thinks is
God's will.
answers3: God knows all things (he's omniscient), people don't.
Genealogies in question relate to Joseph and to Mary's lineage to the
House of David - both sides of the humanity side of Jesus' upbringing
relate. God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit relate to
each other --> known as The Holy Trinity. <br>
<br>
Any other questions? Glad I could help out with your understanding of
the issues you raised -- that's what we're here for -- to help each
other out! God Bless You
answers4: Joseph adopted Jesus as his own son. Surely you understand
adoption. Matthew's purpose was to show that Jesus was the Messiah,
the child of David, the child of Abraham--therefore plausibly
qualified to be the Jewish Messiah. Luke's purpose was to demonstrate
that Jesus' Messiahship was for all people--therefore he traces the
line of Jesus all the way back to God's first human being, Adam.
Further, Matthews genealogy is conviently broken into segements of
generations for easy memorization. Also, in genealogies it is not
necessary to name each branch on the family tree--demonstrating
lineage is enough so you can skip a few generations as long as you
show the continuity (sheep skin scrolls were expensive you know).
answers5: One is Josephs genealogy and the other is Mary's.
answers6: One of the lineages is of Mary. It was the custom to
attribute both of the lineages of the child to the father. The other
lineage was of Joseph, who people took to be the father of Jesus.
<br>

Children of God.... <br>

Where can I get the Genealogies of the French, English, Scottish & Irish Royal Houses ?
answers1: Good luck, because it is royal families you have a chance of
finding something, but the possibility of finding 1500 years worth of
records is very slight. You might start by reviewing the information
on the Familysearch.com site under the library tab about how to
research in the countries you are interested. <br>
You might also check online for the royal houses of each country. I
have the Royals of Scotland from Wikipedia copies and it goes back to
Houses of Alpin and Dunkeld (834-1290). You could type genealogy of
the royal families into the search, that was how I found the charts of
Scotland
answers2: You will have difficulty finding records which prove
anything back much before 1400 and really 1550 in the UK that are
suitable for proved research.........so you are relying on the Heralds
Visitation records, which are 'transcriptions of the records' or I
should say the Heralds creative transcriptions of what they thought
that the Heralds 'copied' from the Noble and Royal privately held
records during the 14-16th century from some going back to the 9th
century.....HOWEVER I have had he opportunity to look at one set of
the actual Manorial records which covers several counties as the
family owned several very large Estates, this family was very well
connected to James 1, including bringing up his daughter Elizabeth,
and in a time frame where Guy Fawkes and his gang tried to kidnap her
from one of those estates, just before they tried to blow up the
Houses of Parliament, and the same family who accompanied her to
Bohemia to marry at 16 years old ( later she was the Queen of Bohemia)
and I have a copy of the Heralds Visitation 'records' which is what
genealogists can view and the two do not compare, in many cases they
are completely different and I fast came to the conclusion that the
Heralds were the copy and paste merchants of their day...that is the
same as people 'researching' now think the internet, familysearch and
online trees is researching family history, yet have no record cite
numbers to prove 'their' ancestry...just wanting to connect to
anything they find and have a huge tree...but what they have is a tree
of unrelated names. <br>
The real Manor records don't give great deal andd often many years are
missed, marriages will state males name and no wife name, they will
tell you the male children but not the female children...however you
will then get mention of a female name who married into another
Noble/Royal family, but have no idea who the parents of this named
lady are...the Heralds assumed and wrote down what they thought could
be the father and then added a female name as the mother...from where
I have no idea..........and it goes on like this thought out the
centuries.....which doesn't give you provable information for family
research.....but if you want to collect information then yu need to
search the Heralds Visitation set by county in the UK and the Heralds
( College of Arms) also has Noble and Royal Trees...transcribed from
them as well as the National Archives have some Manorial Records which
where saved when families left the Estates as they were too expensive
to run/live in <a href="http://familytimeline.webs.com/apps/links/"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://familytimeline.webs.com/apps/link...</a>
has the links to National Archives for Heralds Visitation/Manor
records/Royal/Noble Trees and the surnames page on the same site has
the College of Arms as well as other Countries Herald authorities
answers3: You propose Scottish? I evaluate myself Scottish. Over my
useless body will I call myself British and it makes me livid at the
same time as human beings from countries like u . s . confuse us with
being English :)) you imagine there is lack of team spirit? Scottish
human beings not in any respect requested to be a area of england, in
truth, numerous us would die for independence!
answers4: Just do a basic web search on google.com -- "genealogy
English royal family," etc.
answers5: Yeah, I am a descendant of Charlemagne and a bunch of others. <br>
<br>
I hate to disappoint you, but Berke's and other have set down the
genealogies of all the Royals of Europe. All you have to do is go to
the library. <br>
<br>
Of course, that will avail you little; unless you can "prove" you are
descended from some of those Royals, having their genealogy means
nothing. <br>
<br>
Since my ancestors came over on the Mayflower, founded Germana,
Germantown, etc., I am related, as cousins, to about half of the U.S.
Presidents. But none of them are ancestors, which is what this site
is all about. <br>
<br>
If you are 41 generations from William I, I would wonder why your
family got married so young. That many generations would take me to
the 4th century. Anyhew, dig, dig, dig.

I'm organizing my genealogy binder and need help.?
answers1: I have always used Binders. I separated Maternal and
Paternal Genealogy in the beginning and then filed by generation.
When that got overwhelming. I divided the paternal binders by
Grandparents and then generation. I now have an overwhelming number
of binders. They are first color coded, then divided by Maternal and
Paternal lineage. So all my Mothers line is pink and all my fathers
are blue. I have also divided the generations I have my
GG-Grandparents on my Paternal side separated by Surname and I have
created an INDEX for the binders. <br>
Each surname is listed as a header, under that are the given names and
exactly where they are located. That binder is only 1" and is not
very easy to maintain. It also allows me to keep the maternal and
paternal lineage separate even where the same surname appears in
both.
answers2: the best part about a 3 ring binder is that you can CHANGE
to suit what you find workable. Here's how I see a binder system. It
is not a surname.. it is the PERSON, with his/her ancestry going back.
Pretend you are the person, John Smith. John is the "title" of the
binder. You could use HIS 4 generation pedigree chart as the table of
contents, then have 8 dividers, one for each of the 8 gr grandparents
who are on the right side of that chart. You could have a family group
sheet for each of the couples...which logically would be the document
for that husband (it would include his wife/children). I would file
the most important documents with the tab for THAT PERSON. You don't
need all the docs for all cousins, since you don't descend from them.
You only DESCEND from the specific persons/couple on your pedigree
chart. <br>
Genealogy normally is finding your ANCESTORS BACK. Not an ancestor and
all the desc. (which can be overwhelming, and may not affect your
research). I like this because pks of 8 dividers are easy to find, and
"fit" a pedigree chart. The pedigree chart would be IN FRONT of the
dividers and = the "table of contents". If you have a gr grandparent
who you get more info on.. then that gr grandparent can graduate to
his/her own binder, own pedigree chart. Ideally.. then you have YOU
for the original binder, and perhaps will later have 8 more binders,
for a total of 9 binders total. <br>
IF you decide that you want to pick a couple as the focus (John Smith
and Mary Jones family), then the family group sheet serves as your
"table of contents", and you could have a divider for each child, and
their immediate children. Many of us have filing cabinets full of
papers after years of work.. and at that point, binders are not always
feasible. <br>
The pedigree chart and family group sheet are the BASE charts used in
genealogy, and provide a framework. If you have not seen them, google
them to see how they are set up. You can print blank ones for
worksheets.. or if using a genealogy program, it will generate those.
<br>
ps <br>
I just won't agree with someone saying "use surname". The surname is
attached to specific persons, always.
answers3: I suggest you learn the Ahnentafel numbering system. It is
easy to learn (well reasonably), and the beauty of it is that it gives
you slots for people about whom you may, as yet, know nothing. For
example, you may know your ancestor's name is Joe Blow, but you have
no information about his wife who is your ancestor too. You can save a
space -- or really just reserve the appropriate number -- for her.
Moreover, you know (or can figure out) what the number should be for
Joe's father, his maternal grandfather, or any other of his (and your)
ancestors no matter what their surnames were or even if their surnames
are unknown. Just break up the numbers into binders or folders or
filing cabinet drawers at convenient points, depending upon how much
information you may have. <br>
<br>
(When you find cousin marriages, and everyone does if he goes far
enough back, you will have individuals who have two or more numbers.
Just file their information with the lower number and add
cross-references where the other numbers occur.) <br>
<br>
I would then add descendant information under the nearest common
ancestor. Wendy C is right that you can go crazy trying to make this
information comprehensive, but you probably do want to be able to
place cousins you know or you have heard of. Unfortunately there is no
convenient numbering system for descendant organization because you
cannot assume how many children a person may have. Therefore you
probably need to maintain a cousin cross-index. Always relate cousins
and other collateral relatives to one reference person (the proband)
which will be you (unless you are working up someone else). This may
seem egocentric, but it makes it much easier to follow if all
relationships point to the person. <br>
<br>
Family histories, of course, are generally organized by descent. While
there is no easy numbering system for this, surname organization does
not make much sense since so many of the subjects will have the same
surname.
answers4: I have been trying to continue what my MOM started in the
1960's with Genealogy. Now I am trying to decide how to put in
binders. I have two line husband and wife both keep going to the 1300.
Should I put each of these in a separate binder? <br>
I have two more of the same years of the grandparents with a different
name that keep going to the 1300. I have one family that has 10
brothers all in the Rev War and want to keep that info available
should I include them in the one brother that is the married
descendant? I am keeping the city history, the battles, and the
person place in the city such as selectman or occupation. I have 5
divisions behind each persons name of the main line Father's side and
another binder for the mother's side. 1 vital records 2 Genealogy
records charts 3 Histories/ stories 4 Military records 5 Pictures. The
index dividers take up a lot of the space but it is organized when
done. Five inch binders are the best because they are made the
strongest. Then put your own designed cover. Add some more touches
and that make the Genealogy book. It is beautiful.
answers5: Wendy is an experienced researcher pay attention to what she
has told yiou. Surnames are not your family history. Not everyone
with the same surname shares the same ancestors. Surnames do not
have a family history despite the numerous peddlers of surname
products who want to make you think they do. Those are the people who
sell "surname history scrolls" and so called "family coat of arms" or
"family crest." The surname product business is a scam. <br>
<br>
The surnames in your family generally will double each generation you
go back. What you need to do is to link specific persons to other
persons who might or might not have the same surname. <br>
<br>
Example: Mary Smith is shown as the daughter of John Smith and Mary
Cook. Then you link John Smith to Harry Smith and Frances Brown and
you link Mary Cook to Joseph Cook and Margaret McGillicuddy. You
keep going back that way. Now as the lines multiply you might want
to concentrate on one line at a time but still not everyone in that
line will have the same surname. A lot of people do that and then
when they run into a brick wall in the line they are researching they
set it aside and go to another line. <br>
<br>
Understand Mary Smith had 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great
grandparents, 16 great great grandparents, 32 great great great
grandparents and it keeps doubling. Only one person in each
generation was a Smith unless one of them married someone else named
Smith.
answers6: I don't envy you that task and you have to do what suits
you and of course that may change when you have researched more <br>
<br>
I do mine via ancestry line, putting a family tree on the front page,
showing them and their direct line back in bold, which are theirs (
and YOUR) ancestors wife has a number which is their file and in her
file is the family tree, showing her and her direct line ancestry in
bold, her husbands number refers you to his file... I do a timeline
for each ancestor, so it is easy to see where I need to find more
information so someone born in 1860 died in 1936 I will have a date of
1860 birth cert and tick if I hold a copy of it and a number which
shows where it is kept in my record file, 1860 baptism record , 1861
census return and so on.... to 1936 death cert, then burial ( plus
photo of church/grave stone) Obituary and everything in between so I
know where they were , when and all records kept together and numbered
so easily found and those numbers of the real record, photo, newspaper
cutting etc can then be used in other peoples files too.

Why does it explain in the Bible the genealogy of Jesus Christ?
answers1: As noted above: the kingly inheritance from David came
through Joseph ... the adoption was needed because the physical
descendants of Jeconiah (the king at the time of capture by Babylon)
were cursed to never be on the throne. (1) <br>
<br>
It also goes back to Abraham because of the covenant promises the
Almighty made to Abraham. Specifically that through him all the
families of the world would be blessed which is fulfilled in the
Messiah. (2)
answers2: THe interesting part is if you read Luke, you actually get a
different genealogy. There is very little chance of the early
Christian knowing the actual line of David through to Jesus. Most
likely, Matthew's reference to 14 is the key to this genealogy. It is
more of a theological statement that something significant happens
every 14 generations. Is this a historical record of Jesus' line?
Most scholars would suggest that most likely not.
answers3: That is why the "of whom" is feminine-gendered relative
pronoun, meanng it refers to Miryam not Yoseph, thus revealing the
virgin birth. Otherwise, it would have used a plural
masculine-gendered relative pronoun to refer to both parents "of whom"
was born Yeshua. <br>
<br>
And yes, adopted sons are treated as nothing less than biological
sons, like when Yaakov adopted Ephraim and Manasseh from Yoseph. <br>
<br>
Psalms 83:18 is wrong. It doesn't matter if Miryam was descended from
David. Tribal identity is only passed patrilineally (from the father).
answers4: There are two genealogies in the New Testament. One is
Jesus' lineage through Joseph, as you point out. The others is Jesus'
lineage through Mary. <br>
<br>
The lineage through Mary shows Jesus to be physically descended from
the line of David, as is required for the Messiah. <br>
<br>
In the 1st century in Jerusalem, one recieved their birthright from
their father. Being the son of someone meant you had their authority,
their inheritance, and their power. This always came via the father,
and never the mother. Thus, Jesus receives from Joseph fatherly and
spiritual lineage from David. <br>
<br>
----- <br>
<br>
It's worth noting -- contrary to one very poorly informed answer --
that these genealogies were kept in the Jewish temple. They were of
the utmost importance to the Jewish people as they looked for their
promised Messiah. Jews everywhere could easily have verified the
information in the genealogies, when these accounts were written.
When the Jewish temple was destroyed in 70 A.D., (15 to 20 years after
the first of these gospels was written) the lineages were destroyed,
as well.
answers5: Because the jews had this myth that the king who would come
and get Jeruselum back for them HAD to be a descendant of that horny
murderer, David. But.... in fact, our Lord Jesus was born of Mary,
who was made pregnant by the holy sperm that was inserted into her
womb by the holy ghost, when he came into her room one night. She
kept crying out "OhGOd!! Oh God!! It's so big!!" Oh Goddd!". <br>
Seriously, Jesus was NOT a descendant of David.... his father was God in Heaven!
answers6: Given that there were several different messianic
"religions"/"cults" at the time, it was an attempt to provide
"legitimacy" to a particular one. While some apologetics will try to
dismiss the Mathew genealogy and the one in Luke as validations for
the Jews and the gentiles, it is clear that both are attempts to unite
the various "flavors" of messianic beliefs that existed in the early
first century. This highlights that contrary to what Christians
believe, Christianity did not come from a small group which eventually
separated into multiple beliefs, but it was a melding of independent
groups which eventually coalesced on a physical, rather than a
spiritual, messiah.
answers7: it shows joseph who adopted jesus was from king david <br>
<br>
a adopted son could still inherit the family name
answers8: In the Gospel they do explain Jesus' genealogy from Mary as
she is a descendant of David. Joseph is has to be proven as well,
because in prophecy their were signs and qualifications to look at to
prove Jesus as the Messiah. There were many things people were told to
look for....this was one of those things
answers9: Take a look at Luke chapter 3: 23-38 This is Mary's blood
line going back to Adam. <br>
In this bloodline you will notice that Levi and David are in it. This
is where Jesus <br>
is known as Lord of lords and King of kings. The priest and king line
was joined <br>
in Mary. Now re-read Genesis 3:15 This verse is the first mentioning
of the crucifixion <br>
of Christ Jesus. Jesus is that " seed " This is why Eve is called the
Mother of all Living. <br>
The same " seed " that God told Abraham would be the Father of many
nations. <br>
Now read John 1-all. Or just read revelations 22: 16
answers10: Well, that explains it - You are calling the writing of a
Roman Governor your bible. For if you read the Scriptures you would
find that creation is in ascending order. Woman as formed last and is
on a higher spiritual level than man. Than both male and female were
created as equal, having different but interlocking roles of equal
importance. You would also find that the Creator told Abrahom to
listen to Sarah that she was right. That Huldah, not Jeremiah her
contemporary, nor the priests were asked if what was found was
actually a lost Torah scroll. Devorah was a Judge and a General, that
no woman worshiped or even gave a bit of her jewelry to the making of
the golden calf.

How can I find my genealogy?
answers1: I recognize in which you're coming from nevertheless, you're
making use of mortal genealogical stipulations to a Supernatural
Being, and the houses of the supernatural. Pure Holy Spirit does no
longer own a corporal frame, It is omniscient, all-powerful and
omnipresent. In this context Jesus descended from the Holy Spirit or
as an alternative God the Father; (God the Father (Creator) God the
Son (Savior) God the Holy Spirit) this can be a topic of and reliant
on, the Holy Trinity a thriller the human brain has no longer the
potential to recognize. Mary bore the Infant Jesus by way of the
approach of what's known as the Immaculate Conception, once more a
supernatural thriller no longer certain by way of genealogical or
mortal territories. Joseph was once no longer Jesus's organic father;
Joseph was once the husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I do not
uncover your query a waste of time, the seek for theTruth, nor the
solutions. In my opinion it's time good spent, and such a lot without
doubt some way of acquiring talents and/or expending talents. God
bless.
answers2: In genealogy, we document everything. Too many budding
genealogist get frustrated and quit because they copied something from
someone else's tree that was improperly documented and later learned
they were researching the wrong ancestor. There is an excellent
tutorial for those who are new to family research at <a
href="http://rwguide.rootsweb.ancestry.com/"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://rwguide.rootsweb.ancestry.com/</a> ;
I recommend it to everyone starting out in genealogy. After you
complete the tutorial, the following is a basic plan and generally
only requires the tools that you already have like your computer and
Internet service provider. <br>
<br>
The person you know about is you, so, start with your birth
certificate, which has your parents, and then ask your parents for
copies of their birth certificates, which will have your grandparents
on them. Then if you grandparents are living, continue the process. At
some point, you will experience a problem depending on when you
grandparents or great grandparents were born, in that; birth
certificates did not exist before the early 1900s. Therefore, you need
to get back to 1930 with personal records because those types of
records are not available to the public for 50 to 100 years depending
on the jurisdiction in which they are held. <br>
<br>
By copying or ordering these documents, you have gone to relatively
little expense and you have three generations plus yourself and you
have it documented with primary documents. That will give you 2
parents, 4 grandparents, and 8 great grandparents names to start
researching. Now, you can use death certificates, marriage records,
census records, immigration records, church records, court records and
many other sources to research your ancestry. Your public libraries
will most likely have both Ancestry.com and Heritage Quest.com free
for anyone to use while at the library and with a library card you
should be able to use Heritage Quest at home. <br>
<br>
Another free online resource is the LDS/Mormon site, which has many
free online records at <a href="http://www.familysearch.org/"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.familysearch.org/</a> and
original documents on their pilot site at <a
href="http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=0"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsear...</a>
. In addition to their online records, they have the Family History
Centers where you can go for help with research and look at microfilm
and they only charge nominal fees if they have to order something
specifically for you . Find a location near you on their website and
call to check hours of operation. http://www.familysearch.org/ . <br>
<br>
Additionally, USGenWeb is another free online resource at
http://www.usgenweb.org/ . This site is packed with how-to tips,
queries and records for every state and most counties within those
states. Then, there is Rootsweb at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ a
free site hosted by Ancestry.com where you can search for surnames,
post queries on the message boards and subscribe to surname mailing
lists. <br>
<br>
Also, do not forget to check Cyndi's List at
http://www.cyndislist.com/ and ProGenealogist top 100 genealogist
websites at http://familytreemagazine.com/article/101best2009 <br>
both of these sites have many links for both free and fee based sites.
answers3: There are over 400,000 free genealogy sites. Among them <br>
<br>
www.cyndislist.com - 250,000 links, all categorized. <br>
www.familysearch.org - The Mormons. <br>
wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com - Roots Web World Connect - 600,000,000+ entries <br>
usgenweb.org - Sites for every county in every state in the USA <br>
ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com - Social Security Death Index, 83 million names <br>
vitals.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ca/death/ - California Death Index,
9,366,786 records <br>
www.findagrave.com - 43 million records <br>
genforum.genealogy.com - Query boards for every county in every state,
and thousands of surnames. <br>
boards.ancestry.com - The other Query board site; counties and
surnames too. <br>
archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com Roots Web Mailing List Archive - Over
30 million messages <br>
<br>
I have a page with real links to all of those, below, but you'll have
to wade through some advice and warnings first. <br>
<br>
If you search the resolved questions in this category only for the
word "Free"(use "Advanced" to limit your search to this category
only), you'll find there are 2600 questions with the word, and at
least 1500 of them ask "How can I trace my family tree for free?",
just like you did. The answers to those questions have lots of links
and tips. <br>
<br>
If you didn't mention a country, we can't tell if you are in the USA,
UK, Canada or Australia. I'm in the USA and my links are for it. <br>
<br>
If you are in the USA, <br>
AND most of your ancestors were in the USA, <br>
AND you can get to a library or FHC with census access, <br>
AND you are white <br>
Then you can get most of your ancestors who were alive in 1850 with
100 - 300 hours of research. You can only get to 1870 if you are
black, sadly. Many young people stop reading here and pick another
hobby. <br>
<br>
No web site is going to tell you how your great grandparents decorated
the Christmas tree with ornaments cut from tin foil during the
depression, how Great Uncle Elmer wooed his wife with a banjo, or how
Uncle John paid his way through college in the 1960's by smuggling
herbs. Talk to your living relatives before it is too late. <br>
<br>
You won't find living people on genealogy sites. You'll have to get
back to people living in 1930 or so by talking to relatives, looking
up obituaries and so forth. <br>
<br>
Finally, not everything you read on the internet is true. You have to
be cautious and look at people's sources. Cross-check and verify.
<br>
<br>
So much for the warnings. Here is the main link. <br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.tedpack.org/yagenlinks.html"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.tedpack.org/yagenlinks.html</a>
<br>
<br>
That page has links, plus tips and hints on how to use the sites, for
a dozen huge free sites. Having one link here in the answer and a
dozen links on my personal site gets around two problems. First, Y!A
limits us to 10 links in an answer. Second, if one or more of the
links are popular, I get "We're taking a breather" when I try to post
the answer. This is a bug introduced sometime in August 2008 with the
"new look". <br>
<br>
You will need the tips. Just for instance, most beginners either put
too much data into the RWWC query page, or they mistake the Ancestry
ads at the top for the query form. I used to teach a class on Internet
Genealogy at the library. I watched the mistakes beginners made. The
query forms on the sites are NOT intuitive.
answers4: Last week while searching for my ancestors from Germanna, I
received a pop-up ad telling me that I should hire a professional
genealogist, as very little of the available info out there is on
genealogy websites. That doesn't prevent one from using the web: I
found the death certificate, and who the parents were, for a
great-grandmother who died in Kansas City in 1915 at a library. Now I
have found more records for ancestors: at libraries. Much of this
material is also published in books. Of course, the problem there is
finding out whether or not the "John Jones" in there is your ancestor.
So, if you get stuck, remember the real authorites in genealogy: books
and libraries. <br>
<br>
You should start by asking all your living relatives about family
history. Then, armed with that information, you can go to your public
library and check to see if it has a genealogy department. Most do
nowadays; also, don't forget to check at community colleges,
universities, etc. Our public library has both www.ancestry.com and
www.heritagequest.com free for anyone to use (no library card
required). <br>
Another place to check out is any of the Mormon's Family History
Centers. They allow people to search for their family history (and,
NO, they don't try to convert you). <br>
A third option is one of the following websites: <br>
<a href="http://www.searchforancestors.com/..."
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.searchforancestors.com/...</a>
<br>

<br>
Cyndi's has the most links to genealogy websites, whether ship's
passenger lists, ancestors from Africa, ancestors from the
Philippines, where ever and whatever. <br>
<br>
Of course, you may be successful by googling: "john doe, born 1620,
plimouth, massachusetts" as an example. <br>
<br>
Good luck and have fun! <br>
<br>
Check out this article on five great free genealogy websites: <br>

<br>
Then there is the DNA test; if you decide you want to REALLY know
where your ancestors came from opt for the DNA test. Besides all the
mistakes that officials commonly make, from 10% to 20% of birth
certificates list the father wrong; that is, mama was doing the
hanky-panky and someone else was the REAL father. That won't show up
on the internet or in books; it WILL show up in DNA. <br>
I used www.familytreedna.com which works with the National Geographics
Genotype Program.

links are popular, I get "We're taking a breather" when I try to post
the answer. This is a bug introduced sometime in August 2008 with the
"new look". <br>
<br>
You will need the tips. Just for instance, most beginners either put
too much data into the RWWC query page, or they mistake the Ancestry
ads at the top for the query form. I used to teach a class on Internet
Genealogy at the library. I watched the mistakes beginners made. The
query forms on the sites are NOT intuitive.
answers4: Last week while searching for my ancestors from Germanna, I
received a pop-up ad telling me that I should hire a professional
genealogist, as very little of the available info out there is on
genealogy websites. That doesn't prevent one from using the web: I
found the death certificate, and who the parents were, for a
great-grandmother who died in Kansas City in 1915 at a library. Now I
have found more records for ancestors: at libraries. Much of this
material is also published in books. Of course, the problem there is
finding out whether or not the "John Jones" in there is your ancestor.
So, if you get stuck, remember the real authorites in genealogy: books
and libraries. <br>
<br>
You should start by asking all your living relatives about family
history. Then, armed with that information, you can go to your public
library and check to see if it has a genealogy department. Most do
nowadays; also, don't forget to check at community colleges,
universities, etc. Our public library has both www.ancestry.com and
www.heritagequest.com free for anyone to use (no library card
required). <br>
Another place to check out is any of the Mormon's Family History
Centers. They allow people to search for their family history (and,
NO, they don't try to convert you). <br>
A third option is one of the following websites: <br>
<a href="http://www.searchforancestors.com/..."
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.searchforancestors.com/...</a>
<br>
<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>
Cyndi's has the most links to genealogy websites, whether ship's
passenger lists, ancestors from Africa, ancestors from the
Philippines, where ever and whatever. <br>
<br>
Of course, you may be successful by googling: "john doe, born 1620,
plimouth, massachusetts" as an example. <br>
<br>
Good luck and have fun! <br>
<br>
Check out this article on five great free genealogy websites: <br>

<br>
Then there is the DNA test; if you decide you want to REALLY know
where your ancestors came from opt for the DNA test. Besides all the
mistakes that officials commonly make, from 10% to 20% of birth
certificates list the father wrong; that is, mama was doing the
hanky-panky and someone else was the REAL father. That won't show up
on the internet or in books; it WILL show up in DNA. <br>
I used www.familytreedna.com which works with the National Geographics
Genotype Program.

which dance do you like the best?
answers1: I'd like to give my guy a lap dance. ♥
answers2: Lap Dance.
answers3: Neither of those dances. Maybe when I was 20 I could have
done a killer lap dance but as a woman that is middle aged, I think
that the place would lose money.
answers4: Lap Dances! Yeahhhh baby!
answers5: I've been dancing on stage since I was two years old, which
is thirteen years next month. I don't like to dance, I LOVE it beyond
everything else. Dancing for me means.. to be able to walk out on
stage and become somebody else and live somebody else's life even just
for a moment. It's the only way one can truly express feeling. Dancing
brings out my favourite side to me. It's a dark, angry side with
furtive little feelings and an aching need to feel beautiful. I notice
a positive change in my mood after dancing. I generally feel happier
because through dancing I can release all the negative feeling from
me. I have been dancing literally since before I can remember, and I
cannot imagine my life without it. I am a sufferer of bipolar
disorder, and I put my coping with this almost completely down to
dancing. It has affected my ability to express so wonderfully
positively from being completely unable to understand happiness to
knowing how to achieve it. Dance allows the mind to be freer and more
open to the endless possibilities we all hear so much about. I did
like the survey a lot, thank-you. :)
answers6: lap dance... but I prefer the horizontal mambo.
answers7: If you do the lap dance properly--you can pole dance at the same time.
answers8: The Posturepedic Polka
answers9: lap dance
answers10: I'd have to say both cause it ends up to be just one dance-
at least it does for me. And my boyfriend loves it all the time!

any ideas for a story about dancing?
answers1: I think maybe you could include the controversy of dance
being an olympic sport or a dance competition between different styles
but really do your research even if you don't like dancing or if u do
try to feel like u have a passion for dance

Author House reviews?
answers1: You should check their reputation with Preditors & Editors
or Writer Beware (and their blog). I'll bet after you do that, you
will be looking elsewhere.
answers2: it depends on what is written on the copywrite page some
books will say no portion of the work may be reprinted without the
express written permission of the author or the publisher etc etc i
would assume that that would include a book review all book reviews i
have ever seen just give a short synopsis of what the book is about
without quoting any portion of the book but of they do list the title
and the author
answers3: Like almost all vanity presses, AuthorHouse will publish
nearly anything so long as the check clears. None of them will be
checking legal issues which might arise from the books they
manufacture, and their publishing contract with the author releases
them from all legal liability in the event that the author has
violated copyright or published something illegal.

Another question for WRITERS/AUTHORS?
answers1: It would actually take a bit for me to consider the
transition between writer and author. Why? I don't think that I like
the idea of pressure being on my work. Writing is more of a hobby of
mine, creating characters and worlds just for my own entertainment.
Publishing is serious business, and frankly there are few people whose
work is up to snuff for the real world. Even if I were to be good
enough, I'll be sensitive about making changes to the adventures that
got me through the days. <br>
<br>
As for what would be enough to think about publishing, I think the
first step if writing out a full piece that I can't critically edit
much more. After that I will share with friends/family, and probably
follow with a lot more newfound critical editing. Then, and only
then, would I inquire to agents about my work. The whole process
would have to be done half-hearted. Even though I'm aware it's not
all it can be and always has room for improvement, it's still my
creation and I have to be sure that I'm not going to get my feelings
hurt over it.
answers2: This is how I see it. Everyone is given some kind of gift
from their Creator. The ability to write is a gift. However, if you
were born with that gift, it is your responsibility to hone it and
train it so that you become an author. Not everybody who thinks they
have that gift do have it. A lot of people think they do. Or wish they
do. Just like I wish I had the ability to be a ballroom dancer, but I
know I am not and never will be. When you have honed and trained that
skill into talent and people start to pay attention to your work and
are willing to pay you for it - then you become an author. Pax-C
answers3: Writer: If someone tells me I wrote something amazing. I
write because I feel like it. If I think writing might help someone or
if I read a book that I think is just horrid, I might publish
something to counteract it. Right now I'm working on something to
battle the Golden Compass.
answers4: I am a writer, and I would have to say what I driving me to
become an author is my creativity. I love writing and, creating
characters, and adventures. Plus when people (around me and over the
internet) read my work, they like it. Some people give me negitive
feedback, but all that does is make me work even harder. <br>
<br>
If you have time, check out some of my work on www.writerscafe.org <br>

answers5: For authors, what have driven you to become an author? The
irritating feeling that I could do it. (Not to be a total PIA, but
could you check your grammar before you post a question? If you do,
I'll sneak back in here and take this part out.) <br>
I'm an unpublished novelist at the moment, but what I enjoy about
writing is the ability to play god! You know, create people, cause
them unsurmountable problems, have them surmount said problems, and
end with some sort of revelation.
answers6: I think, therefore I am... a writer! <br>
That may not have made any sense but hey... it sounded neat, right? =P
But I digress... <br>
... I've always wanted to be an author, ever since I got really into
writing when I was maybe 7 or 8! I think it's got to do with how much
I really would like to know that my work is out there, and someone is
reading it that has never met me before! They don't know me, so they
won't feel bad saying, "This is awful!" or feel obliged to say "This
is amazing!" It really would make me happy just to see my work on a
shelf somewhere! =D <br>
... I don't care about the money, and not really about the fame...
just the satisfaction of knowing that my work is OUT THERE would just
give me a happy glowy buzz! =P

How do authors become authors?
answers1: Well! Do you have a passion for it? Okay then start writing,
are you expecting others to hold your hand? walk you through? to spoon
feed you? "IF" that's what you are expecting then, I hate to say this
to you, that's never going to happen. <br>
Sorry! No offense. <br>
YES the thought of becoming an author is good, but then you have to
put your heart and soul, bring that author in you come OUT grab the
paper and pen, and make it happen. <br>
Start with a very small story, then walk your way up through, you will
have to start somewhere sometime, so why wait? what's the delay? whats
stopping you? Good Luck.
answers2: Writing the novel and getting it published are two entirely
different tasks. I had a novel published (180 Days David C
Garland)towards the close of 2005 after spending an entire two-year
period writing the book. Getting it published was a case of
persistence and the appointment of a good agent. Even then there are
no guarantees. If you have a great deal of self belief then you are
setting out on the right road. Buy a copy (or locate one at your local
library) of Writers and Artists Year book. You will find agents listed
there plus names of publishers listed under genre.
answers3: Read WRite, Publish, Repeat
answers4: write a book, find an agent, find a publisher
answers5: Authors write. It's as simple as that. The have stories
inside themselves that they have to tell. If you haven't written and
polished any books or short stories yet, then you should not worry at
all about being published. Keep in mind that less than 5% of writers
make a full time living doing it. All the rest of us have day jobs to
pay the bills. You have to train yourself not to edit as you go! Just
write, and don't worry about if it's good or bad. Just write. <br>
<br>
Start by deciding who your main characters are. Learn as much about
them as you can (there are tons of character worksheets out there, if
you google for them). Give them names and backgrounds. Make them
well-rounded. <br>
<br>
Then I would work on an outline of your story. I don't tend to have
very detailed outlines when I begin (I have a one or two page plot
synopsis, though), but for many writers they benefit immensely from
doing a thorough outline first. It really depends on how your brain
works, but give it a shot and see if it helps! <br>
<br>
I would recommend reading as many books as possible in genres that you
like to write, plus books about the craft of writing. When you are
reading fiction books, pay attention to how the authors structure
their work. <br>
<br>
Here are some of my favorites about writing (your local library should
have most of them): <br>
1) "Writing Down The Bones" by Natalie Goldberg <br>
2) "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott <br>
3) "On Writing Well" by William Zinsser <br>
4) "How to Write Science Fiction & Fantasy" by Orson Scott Card <br>
5) "On Writing" by Stephen King <br>
6) "No Plot? No Problem!" by Chris Baty <br>
7) "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves" by Lynne Truss <br>
8) "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White <br>
<br>
Also, take a look at a few websites where authors gather. Some of them
have very helpful articles and forums. Holly Lisle has a fantastic
website that has articles on both the business and writing aspects of
the life, and I would highly recommend her section on world building:
<br>
<a href="http://hollylisle.com/fm/"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://hollylisle.com/fm/</a> <br>
<br>
Forward Motion is a wonderful, helpful community: <br>
<a href="http://www.fmwriters.com/"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.fmwriters.com/</a> <br>
<br>
Absolute Write is one of my favorite author communities, with a vast
pool of resources and helpful people: <br>
<a href="http://www.absolutewrite.com"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.absolutewrite.com</a> <br>
<br>
Write every single day. Set a target for yourself. For instance, my
goal right now is to write 1,000 words a day. I get this done before I
go on the internet, read, watch TV, or goof around. To begin, maybe
set an easier goal for yourself-- try 250 words each day. Write in a
journal as well, if you feel so inclined! <br>
<br>
When you get ideas, find a way to record them as well. I have a spiral
notebook that I keep just for that purpose. This way, when I want to
begin a new project I can read through my notes and find just the
right idea! <br>
<br>
Also, never forget how important it is to edit and rewrite! When you
finish a short story or novel, I suggest setting it aside for a month.
Don't look at it or think about it (if you can help it). Work on
another project. Once that time has passed, go back and read what you
wrote. Try to be objective-- are there parts that need to be expanded?
Cut out? Rewritten? How is the grammar and spelling? Editing could
(and should) take more time than the original draft! <br>
<br>
When you have some finished stories and are ready to look for a
publisher, pick up a copy of the book "Writer's Market" and read
through it. It is packed with valuable information about how to get
things published, and has a huge listing of publishers. If you write
short stories or poetry, begin with literary journals or magazines
that accept similar types of work. If you write a novel, begin by
querying agents. <br>
<br>
Good luck!
answers6: You write a manuscript (or at least a sample of it), send it
to a million publishers and hopefully one will like it enough to
publish it. <br>
<br>
Being a successful author is very tough and competitive. Literature
these days, sadly, is not the most lucrative industry (too many people
are alliterate and would rather watch Springer than pick up a good
book)... that's why publishers are very picky about the books they'll
risk their investment on.
answers7: I think they are born with writing skills. They tend to be
kids who are natural story tellers. Then they go to school and hone
their skills - they learn grammar, spelling, sentence structure, how
to outline a story, character analysis. Also, they read and read and
read some more. And they write. Most writers are very disciplined
people who write for the same length of time at the same time every
day. They are not disturbed during those hours and they consider it
their "office hours". <br>
<br>
All the rest of the stuff, the agent, the publisher comes later -
first you have to figure out if you are a writer and if you have the
kind of commitment to put in the time and deal with the tons of
rejection you will face. Gone with the Wind was rejected 50 times.
James Patterson was rejected over 70 before he sold a book. You will
not get rich as an author - most authors have other jobs. Only about
5% of authors make a living at it. You also have to spend money to
make money. Editors are expensive. <br>
<br>
If you think you have the talent, the time and the commitment, get
yourself the education and see where it takes you. Maybe you will wind
up somewhere else in the publishing industry - as an agent or an
editor. Time will tell. Pax - C
answers8: Obi-San has given you a very good and thorough answer. I
don't think you're going to get a better answer than that, but I'd
like to add an observation or two. <br>
<br>
I'm an author. I also teach creative writing to graduate students
part time. I can tell you that a life dedicated to writing can be
wonderful, but it's also bound to be full of challenges and
disappointments. The most successful writers are the ones who have a
strong sense of what they want to achieve as writers. I don't think
there is a wrong reason to want to be an author. But it is important
to know what it is that YOU want from writing so that you don't end up
chasing the wrong goals. It's hard to become rich and famous as an
author, and not everyone who sets out with that as the goal succeeds.
But if that's really what you want, you should know it. Or do you
want to be an author because you love books and enjoy writing for its
own sake? Do you have a particular story that you are burning to
tell? Knowing what you want is an important first step, and it will
also help you to realize that maybe you have succeeded even when you
haven't had what looks like success to people who didn't know why you
were becoming an author. <br>
<br>
I've written a book about meeting the psychological and practical
challenges of being an author. It is called Word Work: Surviving and
Thriving as a Writer. A lot of libraries have it. Word Work will
give you an honest picture of some of the downsides and
disappointments of being a writer. If you read Word Work, then I
think you'll not only get some practical tips in how to be a writer,
but you'll have a good understanding of the kinds of problems that
writers face. Such a book might convince you that authorship is not
what you thought it was and that it isn't for you. Then again, you
may just be one of those special people who can't be happy in any
other career, in which case I wish you patience, the will to work
hard, and abundant good luck!
answers9: I think the 1st thing you should do is try to find out what
kind of an author you want to be(novel,play,romance,kids books
ect)then get the story in your head as to where you want the story to
go.(sad,happy,people or puppy's you know what I mean) Don't try to
explain your self or a person or something all the way thur the book.
You need to let the reader to us their imagination to understand the
story line. Warm not Dry is how I would explain the core of the
writing, write it and read it,see if it flows together an you don't
get lost in your own writing,I do that sometimesit's easy for me to
get lost some times. Good Luck
answers10: I'm an Author. I'm 13 and wrote my first book at the age of 11. <br>
ever since i was inspired by the Author of Harry Potter i began
writing my own book "Zendorya Island". <br>
i listened to my favorite songs and remembered my past and how i
always wanted to be a princess living in a beautiful big castle but i
thought about it and i thought about how i wanted to be come a
princess that lives in a beautiful castle but im just living in a
normal house and im not a princess. but the truth is every girl is a
princess and every girl can dream.
are you expecting others to hold your hand? walk you through? to spoon
feed you? "IF" that's what you are expecting then, I hate to say this
to you, that's never going to happen. <br>
Sorry! No offense. <br>
YES the thought of becoming an author is good, but then you have to
put your heart and soul, bring that author in you come OUT grab the
paper and pen, and make it happen. <br>
Start with a very small story, then walk your way up through, you will
have to start somewhere sometime, so why wait? what's the delay? whats
stopping you? Good Luck.
answers2: Writing the novel and getting it published are two entirely
different tasks. I had a novel published (180 Days David C
Garland)towards the close of 2005 after spending an entire two-year
period writing the book. Getting it published was a case of
persistence and the appointment of a good agent. Even then there are
no guarantees. If you have a great deal of self belief then you are
setting out on the right road. Buy a copy (or locate one at your local
library) of Writers and Artists Year book. You will find agents listed
there plus names of publishers listed under genre.
answers3: Read WRite, Publish, Repeat
answers4: write a book, find an agent, find a publisher
answers5: Authors write. It's as simple as that. The have stories
inside themselves that they have to tell. If you haven't written and
polished any books or short stories yet, then you should not worry at
all about being published. Keep in mind that less than 5% of writers
make a full time living doing it. All the rest of us have day jobs to
pay the bills. You have to train yourself not to edit as you go! Just
write, and don't worry about if it's good or bad. Just write. <br>
<br>
Start by deciding who your main characters are. Learn as much about
them as you can (there are tons of character worksheets out there, if
you google for them). Give them names and backgrounds. Make them
well-rounded. <br>
<br>
Then I would work on an outline of your story. I don't tend to have
very detailed outlines when I begin (I have a one or two page plot
synopsis, though), but for many writers they benefit immensely from
doing a thorough outline first. It really depends on how your brain
works, but give it a shot and see if it helps! <br>
<br>
I would recommend reading as many books as possible in genres that you
like to write, plus books about the craft of writing. When you are
reading fiction books, pay attention to how the authors structure
their work. <br>
<br>
Here are some of my favorites about writing (your local library should
have most of them): <br>
1) "Writing Down The Bones" by Natalie Goldberg <br>
2) "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott <br>
3) "On Writing Well" by William Zinsser <br>
4) "How to Write Science Fiction & Fantasy" by Orson Scott Card <br>
5) "On Writing" by Stephen King <br>
6) "No Plot? No Problem!" by Chris Baty <br>
7) "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves" by Lynne Truss <br>
8) "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White <br>
<br>
Also, take a look at a few websites where authors gather. Some of them
have very helpful articles and forums. Holly Lisle has a fantastic
website that has articles on both the business and writing aspects of
the life, and I would highly recommend her section on world building:
<br>
<a href="http://hollylisle.com/fm/"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://hollylisle.com/fm/</a> <br>
<br>
Forward Motion is a wonderful, helpful community: <br>
<a href="http://www.fmwriters.com/"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.fmwriters.com/</a> <br>
<br>
Absolute Write is one of my favorite author communities, with a vast
pool of resources and helpful people: <br>
<a href="http://www.absolutewrite.com"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.absolutewrite.com</a> <br>
<br>
Write every single day. Set a target for yourself. For instance, my
goal right now is to write 1,000 words a day. I get this done before I
go on the internet, read, watch TV, or goof around. To begin, maybe
set an easier goal for yourself-- try 250 words each day. Write in a
journal as well, if you feel so inclined! <br>
<br>
When you get ideas, find a way to record them as well. I have a spiral
notebook that I keep just for that purpose. This way, when I want to
begin a new project I can read through my notes and find just the
right idea! <br>
<br>
Also, never forget how important it is to edit and rewrite! When you
finish a short story or novel, I suggest setting it aside for a month.
Don't look at it or think about it (if you can help it). Work on
another project. Once that time has passed, go back and read what you
wrote. Try to be objective-- are there parts that need to be expanded?
Cut out? Rewritten? How is the grammar and spelling? Editing could
(and should) take more time than the original draft! <br>
<br>
When you have some finished stories and are ready to look for a
publisher, pick up a copy of the book "Writer's Market" and read
through it. It is packed with valuable information about how to get
things published, and has a huge listing of publishers. If you write
short stories or poetry, begin with literary journals or magazines
that accept similar types of work. If you write a novel, begin by
querying agents. <br>
<br>
Good luck!
answers6: You write a manuscript (or at least a sample of it), send it
to a million publishers and hopefully one will like it enough to
publish it. <br>
<br>
Being a successful author is very tough and competitive. Literature
these days, sadly, is not the most lucrative industry (too many people
are alliterate and would rather watch Springer than pick up a good
book)... that's why publishers are very picky about the books they'll
risk their investment on.
answers7: I think they are born with writing skills. They tend to be
kids who are natural story tellers. Then they go to school and hone
their skills - they learn grammar, spelling, sentence structure, how
to outline a story, character analysis. Also, they read and read and
read some more. And they write. Most writers are very disciplined
people who write for the same length of time at the same time every
day. They are not disturbed during those hours and they consider it
their "office hours". <br>
<br>
All the rest of the stuff, the agent, the publisher comes later -
first you have to figure out if you are a writer and if you have the
kind of commitment to put in the time and deal with the tons of
rejection you will face. Gone with the Wind was rejected 50 times.
James Patterson was rejected over 70 before he sold a book. You will
not get rich as an author - most authors have other jobs. Only about
5% of authors make a living at it. You also have to spend money to
make money. Editors are expensive. <br>
<br>
If you think you have the talent, the time and the commitment, get
yourself the education and see where it takes you. Maybe you will wind
up somewhere else in the publishing industry - as an agent or an
editor. Time will tell. Pax - C
answers8: Obi-San has given you a very good and thorough answer. I
don't think you're going to get a better answer than that, but I'd
like to add an observation or two. <br>
<br>
I'm an author. I also teach creative writing to graduate students
part time. I can tell you that a life dedicated to writing can be
wonderful, but it's also bound to be full of challenges and
disappointments. The most successful writers are the ones who have a
strong sense of what they want to achieve as writers. I don't think
there is a wrong reason to want to be an author. But it is important
to know what it is that YOU want from writing so that you don't end up
chasing the wrong goals. It's hard to become rich and famous as an
author, and not everyone who sets out with that as the goal succeeds.
But if that's really what you want, you should know it. Or do you
want to be an author because you love books and enjoy writing for its
own sake? Do you have a particular story that you are burning to
tell? Knowing what you want is an important first step, and it will
also help you to realize that maybe you have succeeded even when you
haven't had what looks like success to people who didn't know why you
were becoming an author. <br>

answers6: i kno this answer looks pretty long but deffinately read
this. the book is called twilight by stephenie meyer. i swear this is
the best book ever! the second book is called new moon and the third
and newest book is eclipse. here is an exerpt and summary of twilight
<br>
"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble
hands. 'Be very still,' he whispered, as if I wasn't already frozen.
Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then
abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow
at the base of my throat." <br>
As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In
Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a
pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful
Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time
controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a
vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him
to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather
be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him,
and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and
necessarily chaste relationship. <br>
Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely
human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new
kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another
realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks
on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she
wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit
together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and
then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued
vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has
inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward's sake they welcome
Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the
family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human
in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer's writing lifts
this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a
place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up) --Patty Campbell

trust me this is a great book. the first 2 chapters are kind of slow
but after that i promise you will get hooked <br>

answers7: Even if your not into classical music you'll love this one,
it's called Hillary and Jackie, written by Jackie's sister and
brother, Hillary and Piers du Pre, I've read it at least eighteen
times and I never do that, I've been an avid reader since I was about
six or seven and have never read one over and over like this one, it's
a great family story, and you won't believe the way they lived, it
sounded like they lived one hundred years ago, they were the epitome
of a loving old fashioned family, who discovered at a young age that
they had a genius in the family. This book is nothing like the movie,
that was a big disappointment to me, the book I rate a 10, the movie I
rate a 4. Another book I'm reading now is fabulous, it's called,
"Einstein a Life" and it gives you a lot of the private side of the
professor, what a loving guy, you'll go away loving this man, and wish
that he was your grandfather !!!!!!!!!!

THE NEW CONCISE HISTORY OF THE CRUSADES by Thomas F. Madden
answers10: During the height of the Cold War back in the 60's there
was a scare that we might be attacked or involved in a nuclear
confrontation. For that reason a lot of people ended up building bomb
shelters in their back yards. At that time there was a two volume set
of books written which if you survived a nuclear war, with these books
you could restart a part of civilization. The set was called THE WAY
THINGS WORK. I have seen the updated versions in one volume and do not
agree that they are better. I like the original. These books teach you
how to make soap, vinegar, tan hides, preserve food, build a simple
water wheel, a simple lathe. In other words simple things that you can
make that will help you restart civilization to a point. Great books
if you can find them in my opinion.

in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer's writing lifts
this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a
place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up) --Patty Campbell

answers7: Even if your not into classical music you'll love this one,
it's called Hillary and Jackie, written by Jackie's sister and
brother, Hillary and Piers du Pre, I've read it at least eighteen
times and I never do that, I've been an avid reader since I was about
six or seven and have never read one over and over like this one, it's
a great family story, and you won't believe the way they lived, it
sounded like they lived one hundred years ago, they were the epitome
of a loving old fashioned family, who discovered at a young age that
they had a genius in the family. This book is nothing like the movie,
that was a big disappointment to me, the book I rate a 10, the movie I
rate a 4. Another book I'm reading now is fabulous, it's called,
"Einstein a Life" and it gives you a lot of the private side of the
professor, what a loving guy, you'll go away loving this man, and wish
that he was your grandfather !!!!!!!!!!
answers8: In the true life/religion category: Girl Meets God and
Confessions of an Amateur Believer are both good.

answers10: During the height of the Cold War back in the 60's there
was a scare that we might be attacked or involved in a nuclear
confrontation. For that reason a lot of people ended up building bomb
shelters in their back yards. At that time there was a two volume set
of books written which if you survived a nuclear war, with these books
you could restart a part of civilization. The set was called THE WAY
THINGS WORK. I have seen the updated versions in one volume and do not
agree that they are better. I like the original. These books teach you
how to make soap, vinegar, tan hides, preserve food, build a simple
water wheel, a simple lathe. In other words simple things that you can
make that will help you restart civilization to a point. Great books
if you can find them in my opinion.
