Review: 

Over the years I have read several diet and fitness books. The majorities of them are supporting some type of diet pills, shakes, or exercise equipment. Sleep Fat Wake Up Thin: How To Lose Weight F.A.S.T. Without Struggle is written by Kenn Kihiu, the creator of The DanceX Workout & 8020 Body. I eagerly signed up to review Sleep Fat Wake Thin, courtesy of the author in exchange for my honest review.

What does F.A.S.T stand for?

It means: F is for fasting, Short and Flexible. A is for Alkalinity and Water. S is for Sugar and Insulin. T is for Taming Appetite, Behavior, and Cravings.

Making a Few Extra Bucks With An Early Spring Cleaning

Spring is over a month away, but my place is in dire need of a spring cleaning or a major overhaul. My desktop is cluttered with piled up books (paperbacks and hardbacks), a huge stack of music CDs, the cordless stereo headphones that probably need to be charged, countless Walmart receipts scattered about, seven inkless pens, and about ten dollars of lose change. The living room looks worse with dozens of DVDs stacked up, more books, video games that I never play, dirty coffee mugs, and puzzle boxes on the floor. After one look at my disaster area, I thought, “Has Amelia Bedelia been in here?”

The old saying goes, “A cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind. A tidy desk is the sign of an insane mind.”

For me, a messy area can be a major distraction when I’m working on writing projects. At times it can be a mental drag when I’m unable to locate important papers or books because they’re buried under a pile of junk, it is the biggest time waster.

What should I do with the books, music and movies that no longer interest me?

Considering my current financial situation, I think the last two are my best options. I know people that have made money from garage sales, but in my town you have to have a permit. Plus, I would have to run an ad in the local newspaper about the sale. Therefore, I believe I would lose money by having a garage sale. Maybe I should sell my wii, books, music CDs, puzzles, and movies online. I know there is a small fee for posting items, but I think I could make a little profit.

My final thoughts is that I could either:

The Friday 56 - Writers of the Future Volume XXVIII



Rules:
Grab a book, any book. 
Turn to page 56. 
Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grabs you. 
Post it.

Guest Post with author Traci Douglas



 Happy Valentines Day!

Someone asked me an interesting question today.

Do you believe in Love At First Sight?

My knee-jerk reaction was: Absolutely. But then, after I thought about it a bit, I’m not so sure.

I believe in instant like at first sight, and definitely lust at first sight. (Hugh Jackman, Colin Firth and Bradley Cooper, to name a few… HELLO people!) Even friendship at first sight. In fact, some of my best friends are people I knew right away I’d get along with.

But true love at first? Not so much.

To me, true love is something deeper, something that takes time to ripen—like a fine wine.

Review - Man-Killers of the Air

Man-Killers of the Air
Director: Jim Meskimen
Starring: Shane Johnson, Cory Burton, R.F. Daley, Keli Daniels and Jim Meskimen
Studio: Galaxy Press
Release Date: April 15, 2009
ISBN: 978-1592122295
Approx. 2 hours

Review:

During the 1930s and 1940s, newsstands were overflowing with magazines, especially those made from cheap brown pulp paper, or otherwise known as Pulp magazines which featured popular authors such as Louis L'Amour, Robert E. Howard, Erle Stanley Gardner, and John D. MacDonald. In its hey-day pulp magazines had over thirty million avid readers each and every month. Pulp fiction authors only got paid one cent per word, forcing the majority of authors to write aggressively at times. They didn't write to impress critics, but instead they wrote for the readers, who devoured story after story and adventure after adventure.

Author L. Ron Hubbard also wrote over 150 short stories during the golden age and now Galaxy Press is releasing the stories onto audiobooks with talented voice actors and dazzling sound effects. Galaxy Press nicely sent me a complimentary copy of the award-winning Man-Killers of the Air, which first appeared in the June 1935 issue of Five Novels Monthly.

Smoke Burnham zooms in the sky in his mystery plane along with his flying companion, a pet cheetah named Patty. The crowd loves to watch him fly at the air shows, but Girard, a newspaper mogul that invested in Burnham, doesn't like him. Sure, he gives Girard great publicity, but Girard just wants the plans to his secret plane, which legally belongs to Smoke's girlfriend, the lovely Melanie King.
