Writing Fantasy - A Creative Approach to World Building is right. The book is now about 30 years old
but I bought it in paperback a few years
ago. It's called How I Found Freedom in
an Unfree World by Harry Browne. I
cannot recommend it too highly. In the
first part of the book, Harry tells us
about all the traps we fall into, which
rob us of freedom. Most of us fall into
several of them. In the last part of the
book, he tells us how to get out of
these traps. None of the work is hard
on the road to freedom, it only requires
a sincere desire to get free. Once you
have the desire, the work is usually
pleasant and sometimes great fun.
Freedom is our birthright and most of
us have sold it for peanut butter
sandwiches, as Esau sold his for soup.
In a nutshell, if you are going to be free
and you are going to weather all the
coming storms in some semblance of
comfort, you must end the
dependencies that have been created
for you, often before you were born.
Independence, which means liberty, is
another way of saying not dependent. It
isn't a gift from government or
grandpa. It is a choice you make every
day, even if you are sure you never had
a choice.Before you can get your fantasy world to come alive in your readers mind you have to first get it to come alive in your own mind. It has to be tangible and real. And you have to see it before you can expect your reader to see it. So how do you do this? I have three suggested methods for bringing your vision of a world to life.Draw maps of your worldIf you read a lot of epic fantasy chances are you have looked at the maps that come with many of these books. They are a wonderful addition to the writing. They bring a visual reality to the world contained in the novel and they are not an afterthought to the novel. They are a valuable part of the novel reading experience.Maps are not just for the reader though. They can serve a very useful function to you as a writer. Chances are good that your main character or main characters have to travel around the world you have created. Where are the rivers? How far apart are the cities and towns? What are the main features of the landscape? Are there mountains? How long would it take your character to w You have been told choose this and you will be free. You did, but you don't feel free, you feel obligated to others. You created some obligations and you accepted others handed to you. You were told some of these are your duty, others build character and you accepted them. Until you begin to see the possibilities independence suggests, you will never know what you have been missing and how your personal growth has been restricted. Break out of the traps and dependencies. Plan yo Strategic Principles of Marketing - 7 Essential Principles of Strategic Marketing for Success We are taught that the U.S.
Constitution is the best ever devised by
men so we ignore the many flaws that
should have been corrected long ago.
One is the phrase "and to provide for
the general welfare." After enumerating
what powers Congress has, this phrase
overrules everything. Anything the
Congress should decide is good for the
people becomes a legitimate
government function. It makes
government our ultimate caretaker and
unlimits its own growth. One of the
enumerated powers is to defend our
national borders. This has traditionally
been left undone as a matter of policy
which benefits the money lover
appetites for cheap slaves. Yet we have
war on poverty, war on drugs,
government charities and all kinds of
things the founders never envisioned as
functions of national government under
a general welfare clause.Marketing promotes your business and all that your business offers to your customers, brings customers to your business, and makes your business stand out in the crowd. A solid Marketing Strategy brings consistent traffic and a constant flow of customers to your business.The 7 Essential Principles of Strategic Marketing for Success are:PRINCIPLE #1Know your Target Group - An Effective Marketing Campaign will be directly focused on selling to your specific niche. Different groups of people are looking for different concepts. When you present your product to a specific niche, you increase the buyer interest exponentially, creating an opportunity for greater marketing success.PRINCIPLE #2Share your Genuine Passion - When you feel strongly about your product or service, the passion and enthusiasm you generate creates momentum that will ultimately sell your product or service. Your buyer will assume the same passion and begin to promote your product expanding your potential market with word of mouth marketing.PRIN Why isn't citizenship a choice and a test? Why am I automatically a citizen by an accident of birth? If citizenship was a choice for legal adults to make, how many residents would choose it? How does my age qualify me to vote? If I know nothing about anything, I have the same power at the polls as those who know much, which if the polls are rigged as they easily can be, is no power at all. Why is that fair? I don't have to know a thing about law of any kind to sit on a jury and judge another. All I have to do is follow instructions that could be and often are unlawful. The greatest error in the Constitution is to allow government credit. Credit allows all the power of revenue with no accountability for its use. It overrules wisdom and planning. It increases the power of central bureaucracy. The United States is insolvent. It cannot pay its debts next year, ten years from now or twenty. All of this will collapse of its own weight like a stick house in a stiff wind. Are you ready? Do you care? Incorporation and many aspects of government are privileges that no person has a right to bestow on any agency, because a person has no right to such privilege her/himself. Privilege creates obligation to the grantor and that is why government grants incorporation privileges to businesses. If government derives any power from the consent of the governed, the governed must possess this power to begin with. I have no power to limit your civil and social liabilities to your company, so you can keep your personal bank account in the event of a lawsuit or criminal proceedings. So how can I grant this power to you or anyone else? I have no power to force you to fight a battle for me. If I join with others who do not have this power, we do not suddenly have this power among us, by the act of union. Multiply zero one hundred times and we still have zero. I cannot rightfully demand that you pay me taxes or render me any service whatsoever. Nor can I gain this power by uniting with others who also don't have it. We pretend government has powers granted to it by us, we never had ourselves and never will. As long as most of us are willing to pretend government has derived powers from us, it all works. It just doesn't work very well for any but the wicked. To better understand the things I am saying, it is good to read the writings of John Locke, the philosopher who had such a profound influence on many of America's founding fathers. Mr. Locke shows us the differences between natural law and social contract, moral foundation and moral fraud. The whole world owes him a great debt and few Americans have a clue who he was. It is much like when we ask a musician who her influences were. When she tells us, we have a much better understanding of her work. We hear some little about our founding fathers, but not about those who influenced them. Therefore, we don't understand the founders as we should. Nor do judges who are supposed to interpret law by the intent of the lawmakers. In short, ignorance prevents justice and true social welfare. John Locke was a well reasoned expert on absolute morality, without preaching. This is a subject that has most of the world confused, especially leadership. Locke paints a clear picture with the most reasoned and intelligent style I have ever read. No American should ever graduate from high school without a thorough dose of John Locke. He remains a brilliant light in a dark and fearful world. He certainly cleared up a lot of confusion about morality and government for me. Once we see the moral high ground, no one can confuse us about duty and honor. No one can bend us to their will for their own wicked intentions. We see what was hidden and remains so for most. We won’t be fooled again. Even if you were my child, I cannot contract your services to anyone beyond your age of legal majority. When the founders of the great federal estate got the States to ratify, by fraud and deceit, they decided the government they all agreed to abide by. It had no power over their children or any descendants thereafter. A contract, which the Constitution is, binds no one but the contractors until they nullify it or die. Therefore, you are free to live as you choose and contract with whom you choose. If you do not exercise this freedom carefully, you will be punished by those who claim rights and powers they never had and never will. To be free in America is to keep your ideas to yourself and keep a low profile. You are free until you come to the attention of the privileged. You accept your punishment quietly and know that freedom does have a price. You do best to minimize the payments for yourself and others. For most, it seems good to be enslaved to the corporate, money lover world but encouraged to call this slavery freedom. Few choose to be free. Freedom is uncertainty and that scares people out of their wits. Slavery is certain and we all know the rules. That brings us comfort and certainty, most of the time; until there is a crisis in confidence, which ends many a confidence game. The original idea of independence from Britain was the liberty of every American Englishman in particular. That idea died with the founders. Now we want equality of slavery. We think we want to be treated all alike. We want the rich slaves to share their money and power with the poor slaves and vote for those who help us believe we can make them share. Freedom works by the law of supply and demand, just like everything in a free market, under the old world value system. Demand is down, the price is right.

This benchmark is commonly referred to as the conversion rate. The current industry standard Conversion rate for a business website is 1.8% or roughly 1 new sale or lead for every 100 website visitors.Amazingly enough research shows that the majority of business related websites fall below this benchmark. This fact becomes an even bigger issue when you consider that the standard conversion rate of traditional brick and mortar businesses is a whopping 48%!The Elusive Profitable Website There are however scores of business websites that consistently achieve conversion rates of 10-20% and higher.

An autoresponder can be used as a marketing tool, too. You can advertise an email address that, when a customer sends an email to it, will automatically send them further information about your product or service.If it’s an e-book you are selling, you can even send a sample chapter by this method. You can set up the autoresponder to send a different chapter on a couple of consecutive days. On the day following the last transmission, the customer will be asked to pay for the rest of the book or materials. This use of an autoresponder can be an effective marketing tool, often acting as an enticement that will convert potential customers into actual customers.Usually, your web-hosting package will include a basic autoresponder. Those are good for simply letting your customer know that you have received their message and that you will respond as soon as you can.

While you may be worrying about currents debts or wishing you could refurnish or remodel your home, you may be sitting on the cash you need.With a home equity loan or equity line of credit, you can use the value of your home (less the balance owing) and consolidate debts or even remodel your home.What is an Equity Loan or Equity Line of Credit?Unlike a typical loan which deposits a set amount of money in your account and begins charging you interest and payments at a fixed rate until repaid, an equity line of credit acts as a revolving credit (like your credit card). In addition, you do not need to pay interest on the full amount you have access to, you only pay for the money you have borrowed. Like a credit card, when the debt is repaid you still have access to the credit.Using an equity line of credit (also known as a Home Equity Line of Credit or HELOC) gives you greater flexibility with the least cost. Not only can you access the credit only as You have been told choose this and you will be free. You did, but you don't feel free, you feel obligated to others.
