I get it. Words are deceptively hard. There's so much that no one tells you about getting that first draft written, and trying to learn the craft while writing a novel is soul-crushing. I've been writing for over ten years, and during that time, I've come across a lot of different people who are ultimately failing themselves and their stories for different reasons.I want to address some of the more common writer-types that I've come across, because getting the first draft out of you is the hardest part. Keep in mind that none of these people are making their first draft happen. If you think you might be one of these, I wanted to also give you some encouragement and tips to help get you back on track."I'd like to write a novel someday."This person is the kind of person who maybe liked reading, liked the idea of writing, or had a really great story to tell, but for whatever reason, has never put pen to paper. Sometimes, they'll even try to explain the great idea they had for a story once, and try to convince you that you should write that story for them. As enthusiastic as these people are, they don't realize that you have your own novels to write that you are passionate about.If you have always thought you'd write a novel someday, and never have, you must face the fact here and now that no one is going to come along and just write that novel for you. No one is as passionate or knowledgeable about that story as you, and you'd be doing your story is disservice to assume you'll get around to it one day, or even worse, pawn it off to someone else to write with their vision. If you don't write your story, no one will. You're the only one who can, so I will always encourage you to give it a try."I have so many ideas for stories that I don't even know where to start."This person has a problem with a lack of focus. Usually this means they've started something and gotten sidetracked by another story, or another ten stories, all of which they have eaten the brains out of and then run off to another juicier meal, leaving dead bodies, (erm, you know I mean manuscripts, right?), in their wake. Don't be a zombie. All they want to do is eat your brains.Instead, try to focus on just one major project or task at a time. This could be the one you're the most excited to tell, it could be one that you've already got most of the outline done for, or one that you have come back to time and again. If you have other story ideas during this time, it's okay. Brain dump everything you've got into a file and look at it later, then get back to focusing on the major task at hand."I can't even begin to write anything until I have it all planned out."The person that says this typically plots a novel to death. This may include their worlds, characters, and backstories. You probably shouldn't spend 20 years plotting your novel out just to write one book. Even if it is a series of books set in the same world, you will likely find even more ideas and more depth from just writing the first draft than you will by trying to plot without one.If this is your scenario, remember that your time on this planet is limited, and you may only write 3-5 books in your lifetime at this pace. If you're okay with that, then keeo doing what you love. If you're not satisfied with that, don't be discouraged that you don't know everything, yet. Get your big moments figured out, and trust that the rest will come to you when you start to write it and think about it more seriously."I had this cool idea, and I sort of know where it's going to go, but I have no idea how to get there."On the opposite end of the spectrum are those people who have no idea how to get their novel from point A to point B. This was me the very first time I tried to write a draft. Even upon getting my most dubious of first drafts finished, my characters were incredibly flat. Very few people can write a complete novel from start to finish without having some sort of outline going. Those people essentially live in their basements and have been writing for 30 years. You are not one of those people. I wasn't one of them either.When you first have an idea for something, plot or characters or any of it, you will usually be excited and want to jump right in. Sometimes a scene comes to me in part or in whole. Sometimes, its a facet of the world that may or may not be totally relevant. Whether I can use it or not, I have some puzzle pieces that I've randomly picked out of the box that is my story. This is where my outline comes in, because they aren't always useful things like straight edges or corners, so I have to dig through the box to find some of those pieces before I can start to put everything together. You don't have to have every piece lined out and ready to put into the right part of your puzzle, but you need to at least have a starting place."You don't have to be an English Major to know how to read and write. I grew up doing it my whole life."This type of person thinks they know the language just because they've grown up with it. They are also the type to think they know how to write a book since they've read so many of them. Yes, and no. So much no. If you're this type of person, you'll be trudging along, writing to your hearts content, only to find that the language is more nuanced and complicated than you really thought about or assumed. I don't seem to ever remember that you aren't supposed to start a sentence with a preposition. Nope. Don't care. I seem to totally ignore that rule whenever possible. Sending your chapters through critiques will call into question: did you ever learn the language at all?If this is you, consider taking some classes, watching some videos, or reading articles from your favorite authors online about the actual craft of writing. We don't actually write dialogue the way we speak. No one actually thinks about it when they reach up and scratch their nose. At least not in real life, but in writing, you do. How often do you actually use someone's name? Probably about never. But if you're reading a conversation where there are multiple characters of the same gender involved, you might use it more than you'd think. Learning the craft as much as possible, writing as much as possible, and getting feedback on your work is going to call out all these little quirks that you have built up and never noticed before will get you where you need to be.I want you to thrive in the coming months, and even further down the road.

Travel with us from the vast plains of South Dakota to the sunny landscapes of Florida as we explore the transformative journey of Stephanie Anderson, a passionate advocate for regenerative agriculture. Discover how her upbringing on a traditional cattle ranch shaped her views and fueled her latest literary endeavor, "From the Ground Up: The Women Revolutionizing Regenerative Agriculture." Stephanie's insights into her family's unique grazing practices, combined with her generous offer of book copies, invite our Grazing Grass community to rethink conventional farming and embrace sustainable practices.Unpacking the challenges faced by first-generation college students, we shine a light on the expectations from small-town life and the potential for meaningful careers within agriculture and beyond. Personal anecdotes paint a vivid picture of the stark contrasts and humorous realities of rural life versus broader societal norms. By highlighting the resilience of individuals like Stephanie, who ventured from traditional backgrounds into diverse fields, we emphasize the importance of sustainable agriculture as a viable and rewarding career path in today's economic climate.The episode also delves into the broader impacts of regenerative practices on both personal and societal levels. From the pioneering work of farmers like Gabe Brown to the critical role of women and BIPOC individuals in reshaping our food systems, our discussion underscores the inclusivity and adaptability required in this movement. As we navigate through stories of innovative practices such as regenerative grazing and nutritious sprouting, Stephanie's passion and perspective offer a beacon of hope for a sustainable agricultural future, encouraging listeners to consider how these practices can fortify our food systems in uncertain times.Links Mentioned in the EpisodeStephanie Anderson's WritingsVisit our Sponsors:Noble Research InstituteRedmond2025 Manderley Farms Grazing ConferenceGrazing Grass LinksNew Listener Resource GuideProvide feedback for the podcastWebsiteInsidersResources (Coming Soon)Community (on Facebook)Check out the Apiary Chronicles PodcastOriginal Music by Louis PalfreyChapters(00:00) - Introduction to Stephanie Anderson (00:17) - Fast Five with Stephanie (00:56) - Welcome to the Grazing Grass Podcast (01:30) - Ranch Management Courses Announcement (02:26) - Farm Update: Bale Grazing and Lambing Season (04:22) - Grazing Grass Community on Facebook (05:01) - Stephanie's Early Ranching Experiences (08:21) - Pursuing an English Major and Writing Career (15:14) - Stephanie's Writing Journey and Regenerative Practices (21:37) - Impact of Regenerative Practices on Family Ranch (22:58) - Challenges of Transitioning to Regenerative Agriculture (24:50) - Inspiration Behind 'From the Ground Up' (28:48) - Inclusive Practices in Regenerative Agriculture (30:15) - The Importance of Storytelling in Farming (31:01) - Challenges and Opportunities for Young Farmers (32:31) - Transitioning Farmland to the Next Generation (34:21) - Economic Stability Through Regenerative Practices (35:20) - Introducing Stephanie's Book (36:49) - Diverse Regenerative Practices Across the U.S. (44:44) - The Role of Fire in Land Management (47:59) - Innovative Grazing Techniques and Diversification (52:06) - Stephanie's Future Writing Projects (53:34) - The Famous Four Questions (01:01:07) - Conclusion and Listener Resources

Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Do you enjoy the podcast? Please leave a review!  Ah, English degrees. So often the target of snide comments and "there but for..." looks. I don't think there's another academic pursuit that's used as a metaphor for uselessness quite as much. Maybe basket weaving.  And yet, as content designers know, English majors can become one of technology's secret weapons. Speaking of secret weapons... Today's guest might be one of the most impressive people in content design.  Sammie Spector is the content design lead at Condé Nast, where she looks after brands including Vogue, The New Yorker, Condé Nast Traveler, GQ, Glamour, Architectural Digest, Vanity Fair, Pitchfork, Wired, and Bon Appétit. And she's one of the most impressive people I know. She has an incredible work ethic. Not only does she hold down a demanding job, she grades students and teaches workshops for UX Content Collective, and oh...she was an English major too. Which is exactly what we talk about today. How English majors can stop feeling helpless, and start thinking about their careers. But we don't stop there. We cover: Why content design has a pipeline problem, and how to fix it What it's like working at a publishing company versus a traditional "tech" company Why English majors should start thinking early about how to adapt their skills to tech What content design can learn from software engineering to fix our graduate shortage Sammie's wisdom should be heard by everyone in the industry. Send this to your friendly neighbourhood English grad, and give them a smile: it's gonna be okay.  Connect with Sammie:  Sammie Spector on LinkedIn Listeners get 20% off podcasts and workshops at UX Content Collective!

As literary buff, a Canadian, and an English Major, I hit the nerdcore trifecta for consuming and appreciating the work of renowned writer Alice Munro. Imagine my shock and disgust when I learned that she betrayed her daughter in the most awful, devastating way possible. This, and after months of protests against Israel's endless bombing campaign on Palestinians, it's time we got into why America is still bankrolling this one sided attack, and how the media plays a roll in keeping it going. Ps, oxford comma 4 life, sincerely, Janaya Future Khan

Andy and Dani go to Paris. Dani gets all English Major-y and Andy does too? Could this be one of the best books ever written? Absolutely. Will this book take a lot of emotional bandwidth? Most definitely. Is this book worth reading? 100 times, yes.  Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin

This article caused quite a conversation across higher education, and there are many question marks concerning how to study not only English but all Humanities subjects in a moment where liberal arts funding is facing massive cuts, departments are being consolidated, and technology is rapidly changing. One of the major questions concerns a technological specter looming ever larger, Artificial Intelligence. Dr. Sid Dobrin, an expert on Digital Humanities from the University of Florida, is here to ease our anxieties and tensions regarding the fear of AI taking over the Humanities classroom. Instead of fearing ChatGPT, Sid explores new questions we should be asking that incorporates this technology, rather than trying to get rid of it. He explains that AI, Virtual Reality, and digital media can all be used as tools for thinking about the Humanities. As he reminds us at the beginning of this episode, English departments study what and how people read/write and that means responding to newly emerging technology like AI.

Chaz and Schatz are thrilled to present our continuing Rushian Author Series. Fresh in the footsteps of Kevin J. Anderson, we get another long-standing Case 2112 in the Rush Rash Containment Unit - author, personal pilot, and overall Rush devotee Len Roberto. Len is a Rush fan from way back who published an indie book for himself and his friends: A Simple Kind Mirror: The Lyrical Vision of Rush. Like most things done with the best intent, his labor-of-love book took on a life of its own with the Rush community. We hear how recently departed Rush "family" member and SRO/Anthem VP Pegi Cecconi blessed his published use of Rush lyrics in his prose. And we take a trip down memory lane through Len's 14 prized Rush concert ticket stubs, so hey, not just that, but so much more: - How Neil inspired Len the English Major to write and how his Rush book took on a life of its own. - The fourteen shows Len attended and his recollections of their first show back after their hiatus in 2002 in Hartford, CT. - All the elements of what makes The Garden a great Rush song and way for the band to sunset. Join Chaz and Schatz as they visit with Len and get the skinny on what makes Len tick, particularly as a writer, a reader of all things in the Peartian lexicon, and a Rushian like us. We spin the keyboard-driven "Grand Designs" from 1985's Power Windows, and enjoy...a lot of keyboards. Really. We like keyboards!!  We name-drop Bill Levine, Greg "Wolfie" Wolfe, Joe Cruz, Steve Brown, Solar Federation, YYNOT and an ongoing stream of other luminaries. With Len's help, we do the usual dive into the news and score a sweet-ass namedrop for our bitchin' sponsor ⁠⁠⁠Danforth and Pape⁠⁠⁠. We might have missed the reference to the 2006 compilation Rush Gold, but we drew in a great tie-in for Danforth & Pape's bitchin' T-Shirt shop and facebook page – check them out at Facebook.com slash Danforth & Pape!! Boom! And while you're at it, hey yo, don't forget to scratch that itch live by going to see any of these Grade-A excellent Rush lovin' bands: Schatz's Scratch List: UK Scotland ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Moving Pictures Scotland⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leoni Jane Kennedy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠RushFest Scotland⁠⁠⁠ North America USA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YYNOT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Second Contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Solar Federation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Accidental Breakdown⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rush Archives⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mood Lifters⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lotus Land⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Dumb Love⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Vapor Trail⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Rash⁠ Canada ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠New World Men⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠2112⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ South America Brazil ⁠⁠⁠RushFest Brazil⁠⁠⁠ Rush news, general nonsensical disorderly conduct, lack of regard for correctness or truth, and reckless endangerment of your whole-brain. This is the only podcast dedicated to increasing opioid release in your anterior insula, your anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and your posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), in addition to the basal ganglia and the thalamus...and all that that implies.   Some thick North Jersey accents and they give you some royalty-free sound effects and movie clips too - what more do you need to indulge your urge to scratch?!  Join us - you know where to scratch - blah, blah...RushRash.

Welcome to the Good Tidings Podcast with host, Larry Harper, Founder of the Good Tidings Foundation. This podcast is all about highlighting the good in people and what individuals are doing to make an impact in this world. On today's episode, Larry chats with his friend, Good Tidings Board Member, and Emmy Winning broadcaster for the San Francisco Giants – Dave Flemming. The conversation begins with Dave sharing how growing up near Washington DC influenced his life early on. College brought him west to attend Stanford University with no intention of becoming a professional sports broadcaster.

My full name is Miracle Onyenadum Ugweje, however I like to be called Mimi. I am currently a college student at CUNY Lehman College. I love being curious and delving into the things I am curious about, the best way I have found that I do this is through writing.  Although I have always loved writing, recently I have found a new love of critical analysis and storytelling. There are things I feel a strong urge to criticize. I have written many things over the years as a growing writer, from personal poems and short stories to college analytical and academic essays.  Two of my proudest literary feats are writing the lead stories for the EDsnaps e-magazine and a short play I wrote for my screenwriting class in my sophomore year of college. It's called How a Negress Kills. Although I wrote the short play from a creative structure I am proud to say that there are aspects of the character that can be viewed through a critical analysis lens. I believe it is through my love of storytelling and curiosity of the world that I believe in understanding diverse perspectives and fostering positive relationships and environments ***********Susanne Mueller / www.susannemueller.biz TEDX Talk, May 2022: Running and Life: 5KM Formula for YOUR Successhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT_5Er1cLvY 650+ weekly blogs / 400+ podcasts / 26 marathon races / 5 half ironman races / 2 books / 1 Mt.

Wittenberg is a place, and while the names may change, the stories, personalities and experiences do not.   What are Timmy and Hud doing here?   Being on the other side of our Wittenberg student experience, we now know that there is no one right path. The mission of our time together each show is to help you, our audience, know that there are many different paths to purpose, to experience, to success. Your path to Wittenberg, was different. Your path after Wittenberg, as ours is, will be different too. On our journey together, we are passing the light from the stories and experiences our fellow alumni are sharing with us.   Our Guests for this episode are Wittenberg Head Coach Melissa Kolbe and Head Coach Matt Croci.   Following two completely different paths to become head coach of their basketball programs, Kolbe, had no idea what she wanted to Major in while at Witt (changed major 5 times), but knew she wanted to be a D1 Coach. Never a head coach, but a great Assistant. On the other hand, Croci knew he wanted to be an English Major while here at Witt, but had no idea what he wanted to do after he graduated.   Let us dive a little deeper into their experiences:   Kolbe had no interest in coming to Wittenberg, until she met with Coach (Pam) Evans, a Wittenberg Hall of Fame legend, on a Campus Visit arranged by her dad. As Coach Evans, a lovingly fierce presence sat and talked with Melissa, about where she would/could be both at Witt and in Coach Evans basketball program. After that conversation, Melissa fell in love. Upon graduation in 1999 as a Psychology Major, Melissa set her sights on being a D1 assistant basketball coach with little head coach aspirations. Crafting a path from scratch, Kolbe's path to coaching, culminating in assisting at University of Cincinnati, a division 1 college, with visibility to be the head coach there. Yet chose Witt, a DIII school…Why?...we will find out more together.   Croci, a '94 English major graduate from Witt, never thought he would turn his playing years into coaching years. A winning Basketball team brought Matt to Wittenberg and shaped Matt into the person he has become. Arguably one of the best Wittenberg basketball players, possibly best Division III players of all time, Croci upon graduation, and some other meanderings, became the assistant coach for Capital, then became head coach at Kenyon, now Witt. All small DIII liberal arts colleges in Central Ohio. With Coach Brown's retirement, Croci got the chance to return to his Alma Mater.   A few key facts to note: ·       Both came back to Witt, a DIII school, because Wittenberg Athletics recruits to win Championships. That is unusual to an extreme. ·       60% of Wittenberg Students are student-athletes, so 6 our of every 10 students is involved in an athletic endeavor. ·       D1 is an unbalanced experience. Both on the player and the coach side. ·       College athletics are changing. From NIL where D1 players can get paid but may ride the bench (vs DIII players who pay to play) and the transfer portal affecting all levels of the college athletic experience.   From admissions, to recruiting, to running summer camps, to being a mental health coach, to helping find jobs/internships, to helping Wittenberg itself Fundraise, to student development both in the classroom, and on the court. Coaching on the court, as it turns out, is just a small part of the job.   From here on out, we will find out together, the deeper answers on Why Witt? What happened while they were here? And how they navigated to success?

If you keep up with academic chatter in English literature, there's a debate going around about the versatility of English degrees, and of the fairly insular nature of literary criticism that comes out of academia. A piece in the New Yorker earlier this year, titled The End of the English Major, prompted me to do some thinking about the world of literature itself and the people in it. I wanted to speak to someone who has been immersed in the literary world for years, and has done a great deal of thinking about trends in contemporary literature.  Christian Lorentzen is a freelance literary critic whose work appears in several publications including Harpers, New York Magazine, The New York Times Book Review and The London Review of Books. In addition to writing book reviews, he's published extensively about the state of the industry. From pieces about taste-making in popular culture, to covering underground art and dramatic movements in New York City, it's easy to see that Christian he cares deeply for the project of literary criticism.  We started off talking about a journalistic assignment Christian had last year. He covered the merger trial between the two publishing houses Simon & Schuster and Penguin Random House. His piece titled “At Random” dissected the true motivations behind these companies as arguments were made for and against merging. The Harpers piece also offered a broad view on corporate motivations behind the publication of both popular and literary fiction.  After speaking about the trial, Christian and I launched into a discussion of American literature of the past 50 years or so. Using writers such as Philip Roth, Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon as benchmarks, we attempted to understand the dialectical nature of trends in art and criticism, and create a healthy literary discourse that is often unseen outside of the written word.  In a way, this conversation was a work of literary criticism in the audio form, and Christian simultaneously offered a bird's eye view, and a heavily specific read of where his field is going.  Christian's MUCKRACK & ⁠Substack⁠ (On the merger trial) "The Vying Animal" (On Philip Roth) "Like Rain on Your Wedding Day" (On literary style and American Politics) "Like This or Die" (On contemporary tastemaking) BOOKFORUM Profile Authors Mentioned Philip Roth Don DeLillo Thomas Pynchon W.G.

Although generally a good student, Eric Jensen wasn't particularly driven to excel in the classroom. Slightly more interested in keeping track of his favorite jam bands than his studies, he ditched a science track for an English major. Upon graduation, he still found a way to meld his longstanding interest in science with his English degree, ultimately ending up in advertising for the bio pharmaceutical world. When the time came to try pivoting, he went to business school. Yet when given the chance to choose something new, he stuck with the industry and through a stroke of fate ended up on the track to stay with the same company for nearly two decades. Only when the groove started feeling repetitive did he look elsewhere, finding a new way to amp up the impact.In this episode, find out from Eric how letting yourself get in the groove can often keep the jam going.… on ROADS TAKEN...with Leslie Jennings Rowley. About This Episode's GuestEric Jensen currently serves as Vice President, Head of Clinic Channel at Grail, where his team detects cancer early when it can best be treated and cured.

Eliminating Risk While Growing Your Nest Egg Larry Kriesmer and Bernard Surovsky, Measured Risk Portfolios   – The Sharkpreneur podcast with Seth Greene Episode 932 Larry Kriesmer and Bernard Surovsky Larry Kriesmer graduated from the University of Redlands as an English Major and then began his career in financial services as a registered rep and insurance advisor. In that role, he quickly passed the General Securities Representative Series 7 exam and subsequently passed the Series 24 Registered Principal exam and holds the designations of Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) from the Society of Financial Service Professionals. He is a member of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) and the Society of Financial Service Professionals (FSP). Frustrated by his observations with Modern Portfolio Theory and exposure to potential losses even with diversified portfolio positions, Larry Kriesmer, CLU, ChFC set about finding a portfolio risk management solution over which he could feel more in control. Finding nothing that fit his objective, he drew on his early training as an insurance professional, and along with his business partner, Bernard Surovsky, formed Measured Risk Portfolios, a registered investment advisor, in 2007. Initially deployed on a few select clients, the strategy is now used by the majority of his personal clients and hundreds of accounts that are referred to the firm by outside advisors. Bernard Surovsky graduated from the University of Cape Town with a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management and Economics. He emigrated to the US in 1992 and passed the General Securities Representative Series 7 exam in 1996 and holds the designations of Certified Fund Specialist (CFS) from the Institute of Business & Finance.

Friends, what are the liberal arts, and why are so many schools getting rid of them? A recent article in The New Yorker titled “The End of the English Major” revealed that during the past decade, the study of English and history at the collegiate level has fallen by a full third. Do the liberal arts still matter? Why should people study them? That's what I discuss with Brandon Vogt on today's episode of “The Word on Fire Show.” A listener asks, what is your response to the claim that more blood has been shed in history over the name of Jesus Christ than any other individual?

Summary: Holly spent much of her childhood dressing and acting like Wednesday Addams - so her passion for mysteries and thrillers should be no surprise. But how did she get into the genre she's now so passionate about? Read below to learn more and understand how to follow in her footsteps:   Holly fell in love with mysteries early in life, keeping a notebook à la Harriet the Spy and binge watching Are You Afraid of the Dark? In her youth. She then pivoted to Sherlock Holmes and Nancy Drew stories, falling in love with the hunt for meaning and becoming familiar with the formula of solving mysteries along with a protagonist.  After college and the required reading of being an English Major, Holly re-discovered her passion for thrillers with the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series and Gillian Flynn novels. From there, she  Why does Holly love creepy books? It's the aesthetic (crows, gothic manors, something scary around a corner) and the adrenaline rush of those spikes of fear. The key, though, is that something should happen and the plot should be oriented around intelligible rules that pull Holly forward into solving the books' puzzles - her naturally inquisitive mind hungers to understand.  There's something for everyone in the mystery/thriller genre. If you're looking to dip your toe in, be curious and find what resonates with you. There are cozy mysteries that are much more soft, and very intense thrillers that keep you on the edge of your seat.

Follow Carmen on Instagram and Facebook.Our ConversationThe big questions we explore in this episode: What stories get told and passed on. What makes a myth “real”? Who are the “winners of culture”? Which parts of civilisation, culture are we meant to rewrite and rewild? Rather than tearing down the master's house, what if we are meant to build a new boat? Is technology, including artificial intelligence “the next flood”?What's the source of this story? Scholars say it was conceived to further Ireland's desire to establish Christianity and a Biblical pedigree, but the myth may have been rooted into something much older: an older goddess or memory of the floods that would have come with the end of the last ice age. Marisa's inventions: the reason Cessair and family were not included on the Ark and her meeting with the trinity of goddesses who gave Ireland its name: Éiru, Banba and Fódla.The power of sharing your unique story and art and bringing it through your unique lens in this age of ChatGPT and AI, as entrepreneurs and creativesThe stories of navigation and destinations reached and the myths of the rudderless boat, sent beyond the ninth wave to enter a new adventureThe way we look at business is like how we look at our gardens.

ABOUT STEVEN MCADOO As Director of Multifamily Investment Sales in Franklin Street's Jacksonville office, Steven McAdoo represents investors in the acquisition and disposition of multifamily assets throughout the North Florida market. Serving as a trusted partner, his goal is to maximize value for his clients in every transaction while providing first-rate service and communication.  A Jacksonville native and the University of North Florida alumnus, Mr. McAdoo possesses a strong command of the market that allows him to represent his clients with knowledge and authority. Before transitioning to brokerage, Mr. McAdoo worked in accounting and finance for several industries, including commercial development. Today, that background provides him with meticulous attention to detail, along with expertise in analysis, underwriting, asset management, and investor relations. Prior to joining Franklin Street, Mr. McAdoo specialized in multifamily investment sales with another commercial brokerage in Jacksonville and later co-founded his own private brokerage and investment firm.   ABOUT MARC HASSAN Marc Hassan was born and raised in Jacksonville where he graduated from Bishop Kenny High School in 1997. He then went on to graduate Magna Cum Laude from Jacksonville University with a B. A. in English (Major) and Business (Minor). In 2003, Marc earned the degree of Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Jacksonville University. Marc, his wife, Meghan, also a Jacksonville native, and their three children continue to call Jacksonville their home and remain active in the community.  In 2007, Marc founded Spectrum Realty Property Management with the primary focus of supporting the needs of his real estate development projects and companies. After extensive planning and reorganization, in 2015 Marc launched a new branding effort with the intention of growing Spectrum into the trusted leader in Northeast Florida for property management and real estate brokerage services. Marc is leading Spectrum Realty Property Management on the path to redefining the traditional model of a successful real estate firm.      THIS TOPIC IN A NUTSHELL: Short Intro and career background – Steven & MarcAbout the Deal:Background location and opportunitiesPros and Cons of this locationCapital Expenditures, Conditions, and Capital Improvements Target rents and unit mixVacancy and desirable areas in the Florida marketTenant damage and Security depositConcessions, Bad debt, Loss to lease Landscaping and contracting servicesTaxes and Insurance Portland vs. Florida marketRe-assessment of taxes and value of propertyManagement fee and Leasing feesRepairs & maintenanceNatural calamity and its effect on the Insurance marketThe typical expense ratio for this propertyNet operating incomeStrategy on loansProjection and market rentsDebt coverage ratioCap rates and Interest ratesConnect with Steven and Marc     KEY QUOTE: “Different people have different methodologies, some people want to get the rent roll as close to market rent as quickly as possible, and some people would rather know that turnover is expensive because of the repair cost & the amount of loss rent. It's really just a matter of personal preference on how you like to operate properties.” – Steven McAdoo  “You do have to be strategic about it if you've got four leases all coming up in the same month. You may not want to be testing the waters on all 4 leases on an 11-unit building all at once. You got to look at how the rules lay out but I'll start with the first renewal coming up and push it to the market. If I need to get someone new in, set the tone and I'm gonna get max rent as quickly as I can.” – Marc Hassan     SUMMARY OF BUSINESS:Spectrum Realty Services LLC - founded in 2007, Spectrum Realty Property Management's primary focus is supporting the needs of its real estate development projects and companies.
