Download or read book Is This the Fun Part written by Wayne Berry and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-01-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is This The Fun Part?, is an anthology of seven short stories dealing with life and the many unexpected and often life altering events that seem to happen all too frequently. The title is tongue-in-cheek, in that life can frequently be less than fun. These stories portray many of these unfunny scenarios; adultery, betrayal, murder, isolation and obsession, with a few supernatural and science fiction twists just for fun. How will the discovery of an often life changing secret affect an unsuspecting young man? How will it change his life going forward? What will it take for a model son to come to grips with his own identity? Can he withstand the rigors of military service while repressing who he really is? How far can a stepmother push her stepson before he strikes back? Will a lifetime of being odd man out be the impetus for tragedy? Can an antique mirror hold the secret to happiness for a wealthy, reclusive, compulsive “junk” collector? How will advice from total strangers, and his departed mother, from within the mirror send love his way? Can an aging, heartbroken, ailing polio victim find healing from a very unlikely source? Can a lifetime of self imposed isolation after physical impairment, tragic loss and personal disappointment end on a high note? Could an unseen alien presence use one of the most warped of human minds to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting world? Could superstition be the cause of one’s demise? Can belief make it so?

It's also a story about professional coaching and personal transformation. About learning and living spiritual principles that deepen and enrich life.

Best of all, it can be your story too. What if This Is the Fun Part? invites you into the realization that your life is yours to create, and you need never stop growing, living, and loving. "A funny, vulnerable, courageous book that will take you on a journey that evokes the real feelings of being human." ~ Stephen McGhee
Download or read book The Fun Parts written by Sam Lipsyte and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fun Parts is Sam Lipsyte at his very best—a far-ranging exploration of new voices and vistas from "the most consistently funny fiction writer working today" (Time). A boy eats his way to self-discovery, while another must battle the reality-brandishing monster preying on his fantasy realm. Elsewhere, an aerobics instructor—the daughter of a Holocaust survivor—makes the most shocking leap imaginable to save her soul. These are just a few of the characters you'll encounter in Sam Lipsyte's richly imagined world. Featuring a grizzled and possibly deranged male doula, a doomsday hustler who must face the multi-universal truth of "the real-ass jumbo," and a tawdry glimpse of a high school shot-putting circuit in northern New Jersey, circa 1986, Lipsyte's short stories combine the tragicomic brilliance of his beloved novels with the compressed vitality of Venus Drive.
Download or read book Skip to the Fun Parts written by Dana Jeri Maier and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect companion for anyone struggling to keep their sense of humor while staring at a blank page, Skip to the Fun Parts offers next-to-zero creative advice, and is instead filled with cartoons, commiserations, and jokes about the creative process. Like you, syndicated cartoonist Dana Maier wants a creativity shortcut—a magical fairy who will both come up with brilliant ideas and grant the energy and discipline to churn them out. This book is not that magical shortcut—you won't find stirring literary quotes or a foolproof system for sparking inspiration here—but it does provide commiseration, comics, jokes, and reflections about the often-painful act of making something original. Drawing on her experience as a cartoonist for The New Yorker and other publications, Maier explores topics such as embracing the agony of the creative process, how the pandemic has affected creative people in different ways, and the power of channeling your inner six-year-old. While more traditional creativity guides often make readers feel judged, Skip to the Fun Parts offers amusing insights about the realities of the creative process—highly entertaining for artists of all kinds and 100% advice-free! "Of all the books I've ever read on the creative process (and I've read every one), this is by far the most useful, for its ability to remind me why we make art in the first place. I know I will turn to it again and again whenever I need to re-ignite the spark of childlike joy that fuels creativity." —Mari Andrew, New York Times bestselling author of Am I There Yet? and My Inner Sky "A funny, irreverent sendup of creative self-help and a comforting depiction of the agony and ecstasy in the creative process." —Austin Kleon, New York Times bestselling author of STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST

Download or read book Picture Perfect Flash written by Roberto Valenzuela and published by Rocky Nook, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-01-22 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conquer portable strobes and hot shoe flash to create extraordinary portraits! Whether you use small, portable strobes or hot shoe flash, flash photography has always been daunting for most photographers. Without a system and workflow for thinking about and working with flash, you can easily end up feeling stuck, or you end up flailing—randomly changing settings, positions, and modifiers—and hoping for the best. It’s not surprising that this leads to failure and frustration. Enter bestselling author Roberto Valenzuela and the Picture Perfect Flash System, which he created to empower you to finally conquer your flash and create photographs that fulfill your intention and vision. There are two key components to this system, which Roberto calls FACES and NAME. The FACES component provides a framework for thinking about how you want or need to use flash in a particular scene: • Fix the Light: Do you need to fix a low light problem, an unwanted color cast, or a situation with poor quality of light? • Add Light: Do you need to add more light to boost or enhance the available light or create separation? • Create a Mood: Are you using light to create a desired mood for a location or subject? • Effects with Flash: Are you using flash for creative visual effect? • Sculpt the Light: Do you need to sculpt the light to add drama, shape, and contouring? Once you’ve found your purpose for the light, the NAME component provides an essential workflow for carrying out your flash photography in a methodical way so that you get consistent and predictable results: • Number of Flashes: How many flashes do you need? • Angle of Flashes: Where do the flashes need to be positioned? • Modifiers for Flashes: How do you need to modify your flashes? • Energy of Flashes: What power do the flashes need to be? The Picture Perfect Flash System is covered in Part One: The Flash Advantage, which is the core framework of the book. In Part Two: Flash Basics Explained, Roberto covers the flash features you need to know: TTL, Manual, 1st and 2nd Curtain Sync, High Speed Sync, and Channels and Groups. Finally, in Part Three: Dynamic Flash Exercises, Roberto gives you a dozen lighting exercises that will substantially hone and advance your skills. With Picture Perfect Flash, you’ll finally be able to conquer your flash...and make the kind of portraits you’ve always wanted to create.
