Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sexy single dad next door is also my best friend’s brother. And now I’m playing nanny for his son over the summer. It’s a good thing I’ve never been into grumpy men because Simon Stone holds the record. If I were smart, I’d have never taken the job for Simon. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and well, I’d have taken any job that distracted me from my personal life. Plus, it meant not going home to an empty house, and that was really all I ever wanted. What I didn’t plan for, however, was for Simon’s son to tell his football team that his father and I were dating or for Simon to need me to go with it once his own mother found out. Let’s not forget the time Simon kissed me one night in a dark bedroom, or when he watched me through my bedroom window as I... well, I didn’t plan for a lot of things. Falling for a man who swears he’ll never love again is at the top of the list. Most of all, I didn’t plan for how life would be at the end of the summer when I went back to my empty house and my lonely life. All it took was one summer for me to fall for Simon Stone, but as it seems, if I’m not careful, that might be all I ever get. Tropes for More Than Write include single dad romance, grumpy sunshine romance, nanny romance, best friends' brother romance, neighbors, small town romance, and steamy romance.

Download or read book Page Fright written by Harry Bruce and published by Douglas Gibson Books. This book was released on 2009-09-22 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A witty round-up of writers' habits that includes all the big names, such as Dickens, Flaubert, Tolstoy, Hemingway At public events readers always ask writers how they write. The process fascinates them. Now they have a very witty book that ranges around the world and throughout history to answer their questions. All the great writers are here — Dickens, dashing off his work; Henry James dictating it; Flaubert shouting each word aloud in the garden; Hemingway at work in cafés with his pencil. But pencil or pen, trusty typewriter or computer, they all have their advocates. Not to mention the writers who can only keep the words flowing by writing naked, or while walking or listening to music — and generally obeying the most bizarre superstitions. On Shakespeare’s works: “Fantastic. And it was all done with a feather!” — Sam Goldwyn “I write nude, seated on a thick towel, and perhaps with a second towel around me.” — Paul West “I’ve never heard of anyone getting plumber’s block, or traffic cop’s block.” — Allan Gurganus “I’m a drinker with a writing problem.” — Brendan Behan

Download or read book Why I Write written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the New York Times bestseller list for over 20 weeks * A New York Times Notable Book * A National Book Award Finalist * Named a Best Book of the Year by Fresh Air, Time, Entertainment Weekly, Associated Press, and many more “If you’re looking for a superb novel, look no further.” —The Washington Post From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of All the Light We Cannot See, comes the instant New York Times bestseller that is a “wildly inventive, a humane and uplifting book for adults that’s infused with the magic of childhood reading experiences” (The New York Times Book Review). Among the most celebrated and beloved novels of recent times, Cloud Cuckoo Land is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope, and a book. In the 15th century, an orphan named Anna lives inside the formidable walls of Constantinople. She learns to read, and in this ancient city, famous for its libraries, she finds what might be the last copy of a centuries-old book, the story of Aethon, who longs to be turned into a bird so that he can fly to a utopian paradise in the sky. Outside the walls is Omeir, a village boy, conscripted with his beloved oxen into the army that will lay siege to the city. His path and Anna’s will cross. In the present day, in a library in Idaho, octogenarian Zeno rehearses children in a play adaptation of Aethon’s story, preserved against all odds through centuries. Tucked among the library shelves is a bomb, planted by a troubled, idealistic teenager, Seymour. This is another siege. And in a not-so-distant future, on the interstellar ship Argos, Konstance is alone in a vault, copying on scraps of sacking the story of Aethon, told to her by her father. Anna, Omeir, Seymour, Zeno, and Konstance are dreamers and outsiders whose lives are gloriously intertwined. Doerr’s dazzling imagination transports us to worlds so dramatic and immersive that we forget, for a time, our own.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An essential volume for generations of writers young and old. The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of this modern classic will continue to spark creative minds for years to come. Anne Lamott is "a warm, generous, and hilarious guide through the writer’s world and its treacherous swamps" (Los Angeles Times). “Superb writing advice…. Hilarious, helpful, and provocative.” —The New York Times Book Review For a quarter century, more than a million readers—scribes and scribblers of all ages and abilities—have been inspired by Anne Lamott’s hilarious, big-hearted, homespun advice. Advice that begins with the simple words of wisdom passed down from Anne’s father—also a writer—in the iconic passage that gives the book its title: “Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.’”

Download or read book OFF THE CHARTS HOW TO WRITE MORE THAN 100 BOOKS IN 90 DAYS written by JAVIER CLEMENTE ENGONGA AVOMO and published by DelRei . This book was released on with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have always loved to write, but I never thought I would write more than a dozen books. Difficult times bring out the best in us, and that has meant the period of the Covid-19 pandemic for many people and in particular for me, during that global crisis I have recovered the best part of me, and I remembered how much I liked writing. I had never published my books, although I always wanted to, until it only took a few words in my ears to make up my mind and start writing again, '' And why don't you publish your books on Amazon, it's free! ''. That was enough to encourage me and I started some books but... it wasn't until March 29, 2021 and specifically arrived at June 27, 2021 that, during that period of retirement, I just started writing a little bit of everything, and I ended up writing more than a hundred titles, all available on Amazon. For those of you who do not know Africa, you must understand that in some African countries, the most ignorant people, that is, those people who have never read a single whole book in their lives, get up every morning and with the power of violence and the terror of weapons, they assault the freedoms and rights of people. They do not get up every morning to work and build a better place, but to destroy and steal what belongs to the people, and that is the problem of corruption. Then, when the corrupt pretend to fight corruption, the story becomes even more tenebrous, like a fantasy movie script, and that is why we, the more intelligent ones, prefer to write. Just as a good musician can create a wonderful melody or song from a single note, so it is with literature. In this way, I have been able to develop, or rather, to perfect my creative and literary capacity, being able to produce and publish, in only three months, more than a hundred books in several languages, mainly in Spanish, English, German, Portuguese, Italian, some in French and in traditional Chinese. I have enjoyed a lot along the way because I have learned to know myself better. My literary technique is very simple, I write about whatever comes to my mind, in an organized way, with the phone, the computer and just free my mind. My books are mainly series of books on futuristic technology, science, religion and spirituality but mostly African history, and I write one or two books a day. It does not make much sense that the history of Africa is written by non-Africans, or the religion of Africa or the spirituality of Africa is written by Europeans and Americans; I am not saying it is wrong or that it is not up to everyone to write about what they like but, at least from now on, if you search for books about Africa or Equatorial Guinea on Amazon, a large percentage of the results will be part of my literary work and, in the case of Equatorial Guinea, 95% of the results about books on Amazon is, my literary work, and I have achieved that in just three months. My country, Equatorial Guinea, has the highest literacy level on the African continent, and yet it is a very little known country. Unfortunately the country is best known for corruption and abuses, but there is much more to the country than that. The corrupt are not very intelligent, for if they were corrupt they simply would not steal, but would create wealth, abundance and prosperity, and that is my great concern with politicians, the corrupt, and those who are both. That is why in my books I talk a lot about corruption, and I hope that the thieves learn something, instead of spending their lives fabricating stories, because neither the people nor the world are fools, only the corrupt are fools. Not everybody wants to be a politician, and not everybody likes corruption; but where corruption prevails, when you are not a thief, you are an enemy of thieves, because you cannot be friends, since you do not think alike: the corrupt thinks he has the right over everybody's property, and the honest thinks that is stupidity. The corrupt has all the money in the world and has never worked a day in his life, and the honest works every day to earn his bread and his living, so not everyone has the same mental capacity, but something very curious happens when mediocrity reigns. The danger of the mediocre is that they do not know or believe that different people and personalities also have different levels of intellectuality, and it is precisely that capacity that transforms the world and countries, from generation to generation and not steal and steal from generation to generation. The mediocre only think about the present and filling their accounts abroad, the farther away the better. But for those of us who see this continent called Africa suffer, we believe that the world already deserves something different, and a continent with countries that stand out for the capacity of their people and not for the power of thieves. That is why, perhaps, I can even consider myself a Revolutionary, because no one who accepts disorder as a path for the future of a continent that must be free and has to be free, deserves to be called African. Maybe that is why many of those who accumulate money from Africa to go far away have two or three or four passports. But some of us, we are only Africans, and we have no intention of going anywhere, and with the world we only share the pain of seeing Africa suffer for so long, because nobody wants that anymore, but only corrupt alone do not understand it. All intelligent people are enemies of corruption. I have always spoken and thought this way, and I have always expressed myself this way, in public and in private, before the public media whenever I could, and whoever knows me knows what I think of corruption and the feeling between me and the corrupt is mutual. I never write about anything that I cannot defend or say face to face, and that is called integrity, and that is why I am not a politician nor am I interested in politics, because it only serves for mediocrity, while the real problems are never solved, because the mediocre does not even know where to start. That is why today, to celebrate the satisfaction of seeing the first 1000 downloads in only 27 days of the already 281 books (including the various versions and electronic formats, soft and hard cover, as well as the various languages), and that is why I am writing these lines. I consider myself a very humble person, because humility is something that is carried inside the heart and is transmitted with contact to the outside Only by trying, knowing, or talking to a person you can really know how he/she is, but spying and falsifying, lying and inventing only shows your own ignorance and low level of mental capacity. I thank the almost two thousand people mainly from the United States, Germany, Mexico, Spain, Brazil, Italy, Japan, India, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands and Australia who have downloaded any of my books in the last ninety days, and the more than one thousand people who have bought any of my books on Amazon just in this month of June, 2021. I do not write to offend or hurt anyone's feelings, but the truth is always objective, and I always try to write with the truth. In my country we use the vulgar term ''No To So So Mot'', to qualify the importance of the facts and their veracity. When any honest Ecuadorian Guinean speaks, writes, dances, sings or feels, he does it for his country, for better or worse. This book is for those who love reading, writing, and knowing how to live in peace with oneself and with the world, that is, to be happy. Happiness is a choice even in the midst of hell. It is true that the environment, especially if it is a hostile and oppressive environment, always tries to create all possible levels of unhappiness so that one somehow gives up but that is precisely what all the inhabitants of the oppressed peoples of the world share, the certainty that doing what one likes for the good of the majority is always the greatest expression of Freedom and the struggle for justice and peace. And not everyone is a politician, because politics is a profession that does not interest everyone. Thank you for reading these lines. 27.06.2021 Javier Clemente Engonga,
