Naked in Dangerous Places | Was It Something I Said?
Freedom 101: Come, join me in vigorously slapping down the publishing industry.
Today is an occasion in our home. My partner's new book has just appeared on Amazon. One copy. That's all. But it's there, and soon it will be available on the iPad too. Our entire household – me, him, and the cats – is elated.
But it's way more significant than that. This represents a turning point. Liberation. Rejuvenation.
I hardly need to tell you, the American publishing world is in a time of great transition. We're entering a literary ice age. Printed books are slowly becoming an outmoded technology. Next week, Borders will announce it's going into bankruptcy. Our local Borders in Hollywood has a 'for lease' sign on the wall, and it's not even closed yet. Barnes & Noble, once so vibrant, is now a chain of graveyards and shutting down branches.
Many people see this as the last gasp of glory for authors such as myself, before progress sweeps away our livelihood and we're forced to get real jobs. Within a few years, as the iPad and other tablets rise to consume us, most people will view long-form reading as a drag, an antiquated pastime, and printed books themselves as ridiculously clunky, much like the first cellphones that were the size of housebricks or the first laptop, which actually was so heavy it used to crush your lap and make it hard to walk afterwards.
But this development is really a good thing and authors should rejoice.
Over time, the idea of writers needing publishers to support their work will fade. I'm even setting up a small epublishing company myself this year and putting out my own mystery novel, which is now complete and getting rave reviews from friends, even though they were charged with criticizing it and tearing it to bits, sparing me no mercy. I wanted it to be as good a book as it possibly could be. This way, though, I won't need to go through the usual laborious process, waiting until 2012 or 2013 to see my work in bookstores (the same bookstores that will by then have closed due to lack of business). Instead, my work can be on readers' Kindles and iPads by this summer, all cute and pert and lovely and ready to go. I am very excited by this prospect. We all should be.
I used to work for a show on public radio called Marketplace. At our office in Los Angeles we had a very long wall lined with bookshelves up to neck height. On these shelves were stacked copies of new books sent to us by lazy PR people at publishing houses in the hope that we'd give them a free plug on the air. We didn't. And the reason we didn't was because the books were crap. With rare exceptions, they were poorly written, derivative, boring, badly-thought-through, and exploitative junk. Nobody read them – not us, not even the members of the public they were intended for. At best they were ornamental. Same way they are in bookstores. Eventually, after gathering dust on the shelves for a month, they were thrown into bags and tossed out. Hundreds and hundreds of them. Regularly. Year in, year out.
Frankly, I could stop this blog here. That's all you need to know.
In that one short paragraph, I've explained why the publishing industry in America is gasping for breath, like an old aunt with emphyzema.
Editors were slow to see their own demise. They have continued for years putting out mediocre book after mediocre book, seldom investing in anything good or original. They played safe for fear of losing their jobs, sticking wherever possible to yawn-making celebrity tie-ins, self-help books that made huge promises but which were really just previous self-help books with a different jacket, and shallow, awful novels aimed at dim people who could only take chapters that were four pages long, Beyond that, things were too baffling. In other words, many editors abused their role. They became predatory opportunists rather than creators and instigators, which is what they were meant to be.
Instead of using passion as their baseline, making it a goal to discover and nurture good authors and stick with them from book to book until they attracted a strong following, they became fickle and coquettish, the way debutantes are in costume dramas, putting out any old book that took their fancy. If one author didn't make it big immediately, the next one might. This same mindless policy was rampant in the music industry for a while too, and look what happened there.
Publishers plowed all their resources into the production of books, but left no budget for marketing them. That is to say, they'd launch a product, then tell nobody at all that it existed. I mean, jeez, what bright spark thought that system up? It's tantamount to sticking your book in a garbage sack, leaving it by the side of the freeway, and hoping motorists slow down and go, "Hm, I wonder what's in that bag?" It's not going to happen.
So the industry is dying. Printed books are heading the way of CDs and newspapers. And it's their own f'ing fault.
Success right now is a fluke. Without passion as their compass, book editors simply wish upon a star that somebody – anybody – will show an interest in their products; they neither put their weight behind them nor show courage in the convictions of their choices. That is no way to run a business.
I even heard that the marketing team at my publisher once refused to give Oprah a bunch of free books to hand out on her television show as one of her favorite things. They refused to give the Queen of TV 320 measly books. Oh my god. In the Kitty Kelley biography that was out not long ago, Oprah called this "the dumbest move EVER." And it is. But that's publishers for you. They have brilliant editors, but often, I think, total morons as publicists and marketing people, and they make one lousy decision after another. Why? Because nothing hangs on it for them. They get paid whether a book sells or not. They're not personally invested in anything they put out. If they were, it would be an entirely different story.
Another instance: years ago, when my book Gullible's Travels– which was a really funny book, and went on to win the Benjamin Franklin Award for Humor – came out, the marketing department at Globe Pequot, the publisher, mailed 150 copies to the press. But only in theory. In practice what they did was write their own address on the label. So within days all 150 books came back again. By the time they were sent out a second time, momentum had been lost. It was a tragedy.
With the US version of Naked in Dangerous Placeslast year, another piece of work I'm extremely proud of, about the amazing adventure I had making my TV travel series, the complacency of the PR people charged with promoting it grew to become the stuff of legend. The miniscule effort they did put in was the equivalent of going over to the window, leaning out, shouting, "Hey, everyone – look at us. We've published a terrific travel book," and closing it again before anyone could catch the title. Result: not one radio interview, not one review of note, not one mention in any major magazine or newspaper. Nothing at all.
And you know what? They don't care. Since Naked came out, the same company has published about fifty thousand more books. Some of them may even be good. And I bet they're neglecting those as well.
"How the hell do these people still have a job?" I kept asking myself.
Well, actually, they won't soon. That's the gratifying part. Due to a gigantic volume of idiocy, greed, and short-sightedness that's gone on for years, a fine industry is on the ropes, and before they know it, a good many of these apathetic losers will be out of work. When that happens, we mustn't feel sorry for them. Remember, they slit their own throats.
For too long authors have been writing their books in order to appeal to, not the reading public as you might expect, but editors, trying to second-guess what editors would like, in the hope of pleasing them and getting an advance for their work. That's the wrong way to go about things. It stifles passion.
Strangely, the editors, for their part, were not interested in quality or uniqueness. They showed interest only in books whose author had an established following. This system existed, again not for the benefit of the reading public, but because marketing people were drop-dead lazy and couldn't be bothered to publicize their products, beyond sending out a press release or making a couple of phone calls between coffee breaks. This, thankfully, is about to change too. In time, authors will be empowered to take over the process and market directly to their readers, cutting out publishers entirely.
The result is called Completely Delicious, and every ounce of the love and patience and caring he put into it is on display. It's the real deal. I know I'm biased, but you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between this and any other professionally-produced cookbook out there.
Now, he's lucky, of course – he has his own store in Beverly Hills, where he's currently shifting several copies every day! But even so, what a coup. Here's a guy who's never written a book before and he's beating the system. I hope more authors are inspired to do the same.
Inspired by this, I'm following him into the trenches. I've hired an illustrator, who is currently turning out fabulous work for the cover of my novel, and a designer is waiting to put it all together. Expect it to be available this summer.
Seriously, this is the future, people. A bright, shiny, new democracy. Where we, as authors, no longer have to hand our work over to companies that don't respect it or have passion for it, the way we do, and where we can finally take control of our destiny, make our own decisions, and our own money. Remember, when you publish your own book, ALL the money goes to you, not just the measly 12% royalty the publishers decided to give you. That's incredible.
So you see why I find this period of change so intensely empowering. I get tingles in my legs just thinking about it, although it may be the onset of diabetes from eating too much cheesecake, I'm not sure. But I'm betting that this is how the people of Egypt are feeling right now, and they haven't even got a book out!
TV Swami – he get sidetracked today. But he have a point to make and he feel strongly.
A deluded underdog rises once more.
Weirdest thing. Over the weekend, somewhat inexplicably, my new travel book Naked in Dangerous Places got the wind behind it and began racing up the Amazon charts.
That's an incredible development. For me it is, anyway. For you, probably less so.
But what's even more incredi – oh, and by the way, thank you to all those people who bought it; you won't be disappointed – but what's even more incredible is that my previous travel book, Gullible's Travels, the Adventures of a Bad Taste Tourist, did even better. For a while there, GT was fair rocketing along, picking up sales at every turn.
I was flabbergasted. And even now I have no idea what caused this outpouring of desire to own my work, I'm just glad it happened.
Publishers of course, have a real downer on Amazon. They'll tell you, scornfully – and I've been told this many times – that the Amazon ranking is meaningless. That the company gives no rational accounting of how book sales are tallied, therefore it all seems pretty much random and can't be trusted. That's the corporate line.
Well, fair enough. But if both your books – both – having languished a little of late in the low numbers (which I guess, by that token, means nothing either) suddenly take off like Derby thoroughbreds and careen up the chart past hundreds of thousands of competing works, then, call me deluded, but to me that says people are buying them.
One book without the other could be a freak happening. Together, though? Come on, publishers – who are you kidding?
Alas, by Sunday, the ranking had dipped, indicating that the feeding frenzy was over (or that sales were still fierce and the Amazon ranking really is meaningless). Still, a few more weekends like that and, who knows, I might even be tempted to write a third one!
Incidentally, remember a couple of weeks ago when I put three signed copies of Naked on Ebay? They were, I'm delighted to say, snapped up right away. But then afterwards I got complaints from people who either didn't know about the auction or were outbid, saying they were really disappointed, and that won't do.
If they sell, they sell; if they don't, they don't. But at least you have a chance to purchase a copy of what I guarantee is a very funny book, while also knowing that, unlike every other Naked book out there, this one will be dedicated specifically to you. I mean, that's got to be worth something, right?
The vultures are circling again.
Last night on the BBC we were discussing Bridezillas and I played clips.
It's a reality show – an "unforgettable" one, apparently – about highly-strung and difficult brides-to-be and the men who, contrary to all the laws of common sense, are prepared to marry, and presumably later on, divorce them.
From what I hear, the series has become quite a phenomenon in the world of low-grade trashy entertainment, running for six seasons and attracting a massive 2.5 million viewers, even becoming the foundation for WE's TV offshoot, The Wedding Channel, a new network devoted to everything marriage. Ooh, just what we need.
The reason I bring this up is because the production company behind Bridezillas came sniffing around my heels recently, asking if I wanted to do more TV. Nothing official, just a quick email, a casual inquiry.
I almost took the bait too.
My lovely little travel show, Stranded with Cash Peters (someone has kindly uploaded a short clip of the Cambodia episode here) aired three years ago, which is a long time to be away from the public eye. And although it wasn't a major hit, the people who did watch it loved it to bits. Not a week goes by when fans don't write and ask what happened to it, when it's going to be rerun, why episodes aren't available on iTunes. (The answers are to be found in my new book, Naked in Dangerous Places).
Furthermore, it's tempting, when you've been in TV for a while but aren't currently, to feel immediately flattered by the attention of producers and eagerly grab anything you're offered, just to be center stage again.
First, I am more than happy right now writing books (the new novel is a little firecracker; you're going to love it, I promise), and hardly yearning for another stressful adventure any time soon.
Second of all, making Stranded put me in hospital three times and left me permanently scarred in all kinds of emotional and psychological ways, thanks largely to certain people at the production company, who were monsters.
And lastly, quality shows cost money to make. That's why there's so much abysmal trash on our screens right now and why viewers of any intelligence are being driven to abandon the box by the million each year and find something more entertaining to do with their time.
There are only limited amounts of talent and money to go around, that's the problem, and these days a lot of non-talent and miniscule budgets are being funneled into shows targeting the Dimwit Demographic: undiscerning, uneducated, unthinking, unmotivated, undemanding, unconscionably low-octane minds; minds that find Spencer and Heidi Pratt (nee Montag) or Ant and Dec intriguing, who'll watch any show that Ryan Seacrest is in or executive produces, and who believe that Transformers is high art. High schools nowadays are basically factories mass-producing these kinds of people in their millions.
In other words, minds that can't tell the difference between good and bad, quality and trash, or subtle hues and bright, gaudy colors. They don't need expensive programming, extraordinary stories, good writing, hosts with personalities, material that challenges the intellect or raises the bar emotionally; it's all a wash to them. Basically, if a series doesn't have these basic elements: lots of noise, bright colors, people shouting, and dinosaurs – well, screw it, they're grabbing the remote and returning to Bridezillas, which has all four in spades.
Well, so be it. Until all the stars align in an appealing way, I'm in no rush. And if they never align again, that's fine too.
I have a health book coming out in the fall, I'm mapping out a sequel to the novel (did I mention that it's a real firecracker?), and I have to travel to Britain and Australia soon to promote Naked in Dangerous Places when it's published there. So all in all, I'm doing okay.
Fame and celebrity can wait a little longer.
TV Swami – he say NO to Bridezillas.

Someone's won a BSA. Bet you can't guess who.
I've never placed much value on winning awards. Mainly because I don't win any. Not as a rule. I'm told I won a Peabody Award in 2001. And Gullible's Travels, my travel memoir, took home the Ben Franklin Award for Humor in 2003. There were others as well, but they're very thin on the ground and I don't remember them.
Furthermore, when I received the glass slab that winners of the Franklin award are sent in the mail, I promptly dropped it and chipped a big hole in the side. Now I'm embarrassed to bring it out.
But yesterday was different. Yesterday I won an award that, in a small way, I'm quite proud of. A BSA.
Don't worry if you've not heard of it; neither had I.
But you know how I mentioned that I'd uploaded my short movie, Fast and Very Loose, to Vimeo? (You can watch it here) Well, I went and posted this fact on the Curezone website – which is a phenomenal resource, a sort of Wikipedia of all things health. I mentioned it in the fasting section, and immediately began receiving great responses – including a BSA.
A – wait for this – Bright Star Award. Oh yes.
It's the award that Curezone's forum moderators give to the best post ever. And my little movie won it. That's no mean feat – however unimpressed I might seem at this moment.
you for sharing it with us.
Well, that is just the sweetest thing. I don't have a speech prepared, but of course I'd like to thank the Academy, and Jesus, and my family – no, not my family, but everyone else. Left to my family, I would never have won anything, much less a Bright Star Award from a moderator at Curezone. I'd still be sitting behind a desk in the Civil Service stamping forms. Truly, I'm honored.
If you're interested to see what the fuss is about – and a BSA is tantamount to a fuss, right? Please say it is – you might want to check out the movie for yourself. Then, if you enjoy it as much as Paulette did, maybe you can invent your own award too and give it to me. I promise not to drop this one.
1) Mommy's Little Freedom Fighter + free signed copy of Naked in Dangerous Places: bids end TODAY. You have to be in it to win it.
2) Naked in Dangerous Places, signed, with free unpublished end chapter (two pages): bids have already begun.
3) Naked in Dangerous Places, signed, with free unpublished end chapter (two pages): bids have also begun, so get in fast.
Big in Afghanistan. Oh yes.
This morning I received a wonderful message from a mother whose son has been fighting in Afghanistan. Some while back, she sent him a copy of my first travel book, Gullible's Travels, the Adventures of a Bad Taste Tourist. Here's what she wrote.
I hear lots of great stories like that. It's quite heartwarming.
Sadly, I also know of a couple of instances when reading Gullible's Travels actually put readers in hospital. One bust his stitches after an operation, and another had a relapse of a heart complaint after laughing so much. Gratifying, yet also strangely worrisome, I must admit. The last guy's wife even wrote to say they were considering suing because there wasn't a sticker on the book to warn just how funny it was. Well, hey, I'm sorry. I honestly didn't know.
A couple of years ago, some man wrote to say that his mother had been trapped for days in a remote island village after it flooded following a small tsunami. Being marooned without help, she spent her time reading Gullible's Travels instead of panicking, and that got her through. He was writing to thank me, as if I'd anticipated that it would come in useful in that way. Nevertheless, I felt incredibly honored. As a result, helping people without actually lifting a finger is now my latest thing.
And now this latest woman is sending her son my new travel book, Naked in Dangerous Places which I truly believe would also help lift the spirits of tsunami victims around the world. And soldiers. Anyone, really.


Samsung promised to change its update policy on unlocked Galaxy devices in the United States as the company vowed to start releasing monthly security updates for these devices. While responding to an inquiry from one user who was complaining about the lack of updates for an unlocked variant of the Galaxy S7 Edge in the country, Samsung Mobile Security said how it was so far only able to release quarterly updates for unlocked Galaxy smartphones in the United States. However, the tech giant apparently managed to resolve the issues that were keeping it from updating those devices more often and is now apparently committed to rolling out monthly updates for unlocked variants of its handsets.
Samsung Mobile Security also subsequently stated that the March Android Security update for the unlocked variants of the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge will start rolling out stateside "soon." The company provided no specific timeframe to accompany that announcement, but its wording suggests that Samsung's 2016 flagship duo will receive its next security patch by the end of the month. There's still no word on whether the next update for the unlocked models of the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge will also include an upgrade to Android 7.0 Nougat that all major carriers in the country already started pushing out to their devices. Likewise, it's currently unclear what exactly kept Samsung from updating the international versions of its flagship phones on a monthly basis, but the company opted for this approach in most parts of the world and not just the U.S.
This announcement comes only two weeks before the South Korean consumer electronics manufacturer will unveil its next-generation pair of Android flagships. While U.S. consumers looking for a high-end device usually opt to purchase one from a wireless carrier on a contract, the fact that Samsung is now committed to updating the unlocked variants of its phones on a monthly basis is still good news for all prospective buyers of the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus as it provides them with more equally attractive options for acquiring the device. It remains to be seen when Samsung is planning to start delivering on this promise.

A lot is still to be learnt about Coronavirus and COVID 19 but the basic symptoms are known. The World Health Organisation currently state that the incubation period is up to 14 days but sometimes it could be longer, even up to 24 days, but typically symptoms show in about 5 days. The World Health Organisation's data based on 44,000 patients with the virus, 81% developed mild symptoms, 14% developed severe symptoms and 5% became critically ill. The death rate stated by the World Health Organisation appears to be between 1 and 2% but the current initial figures are obviously unreliable, given that is a currently changing situation. That said WHO say that about 80% of people recover without medical treatment and some people become infected but they do not develop any symptoms or feel unwell. The main three symptoms of coronavirus are: - a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back. It is not essential to measure your temperature to decide you have a high temperature. - a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual) - a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal Most people but not all people with coronavirus have at least 1 of these symptoms. Other symptoms are a headache, shortness of breath, tiredness, nasal congestion, sore throat, diarrhoea, nasal congestion, muscle aches, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms often show as mild and begin gradually. Some people have the virus but they show no symptoms at all but they can still spread the virus without knowing it. If you are in a high-risk group with existing medical conditions or the elderly, or if the person develops a fever, cough and breathing difficulties you should seek medical attention by phoning the medical services rather than going to hospitals or medical centres, where there is a risk that you will spread the virus to others.

to Scale
In this print by Richard Phillips, a seductress peers over her tattooed shoulder to meet the eye of the viewer. While elements of Phillips's celebrated hyperrealist style are evinced here—the model's eyes, face, and hair are convincingly portrayed—Miss Parkett is also desirable on account of its playfulness, cropped composition, and vintage feel.
About Richard Phillips
Richard Phillips has achieved international fame for his large-scale hyper-realistic portraits that appropriate material from a range of cultural sources: porn, advertising spreads from the '50s, '60s, and '70s, photographs, and Pop paintings.

Richard Phillips has achieved international fame for his large-scale hyper-realistic portraits that appropriate material from a range of cultural sources: porn, advertising spreads from the '50s, '60s, and '70s, photographs, and Pop paintings. His close-up, highly stylized renderings of his subjects' faces are often set against a bold, neutral background that disassociates them from their original context. The people in his portraits are almost eerie and empty in their perfection, resulting in beautiful images that provoke a disengaged, disembodied psychological state in the viewer. Although some may read cynicism, irony, or inhumanity in the empty faces of his canvases, he argues that his intention "is not to be ironic or make disparaging commentary."
Recently Phillips has gained notoriety for receiving product commissions from brands including Montblanc, MAC cosmetics, and Jimmy Choo, as well as the inclusion of his 1998 painting Spectrum on the show Gossip Girl. He has exhibited his work in numerous group shows internationally including the Whitney Biennial. He has had numerous solo shows at White Cube, including his most recent exhibition Most Wanted, a series of portraits culled from red carpet photographs of contemporary celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Justin Timberlake, and Miley Cyrus.

When was the last time you went to an alternative music venue? Chances are, it was very loud. Chances are, there was a huge crowd. In fact, in many cases, there's an unruly crowd.
And it's not a surprise that oftentimes, people who go there as a couple or go there in groups tend to get separated. This is especially true if you need to separate from your group so you can go to the bathroom. Good luck trying to find your way back.
In fact, in many cases, you rub against so many people that your wallet gets taken. I know that sounds crazy because a lot of these places have bouncers. They're supposed to have security. In fact, a lot of them even have close circuit cameras.
Unfortunately, these precautions don't really protect you all that much when there is dim lighting. This is precisely the perfect combination of factors that petty thieves take full advantage of.
Whether you are going to lose your cell phone due to your own neglect or just through sheer distraction, or people actually took your cell phone from you, you need to make sure that you are properly protected.
Unfortunately, a lot of people don't even think about this. A lot of people think that as long as they hold on to their cell phones, they are good to go. Well, believe me, it doesn't really take much to distract people.
I've seen expert thieves demonstrate their skills on YouTube. What they would do is they would press close to you so your attention is focused on their body or your attention is diverted to something that you can see in front of you.
Little do you know that they've already taken your cell phone, your phone, or your tablet. In many cases, they've even taken an article of clothing. That's how skilled these thieves are.
Now, you may be thinking that since you're into alternative music that these thieves don't really hang out at alternative music venues. You might even be under the impression that these thieves are too specialized and too professional to waste their time at such alternative music scenes. You would be absolutely wrong.
You have to understand that theft is a crime of opportunity. Expert thieves size up people based on how distracted they are. So even if you're the biggest, scariest looking guy in the room, if you are properly distracted, you are fair game to these people.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that just because you're grasping your phone that somehow, some way, your phone will never ever be separated from you. In fact, that's the kind of mindset that expert thieves take full advantage of.
Protect yourself by making sure that you have downloaded the Handy Orten app onto your mobile phone. Also, set up your phone to have the geo-location turned on.
By configuring your phone based on these two parameters, you can ensure yourself that if your phone somehow, some way, gets stolen or misplaced, you have at least a few hours to locate your phone.
Now, you may be asking why you only have a few hours to retrieve your phone. Well, it really all boils down to the battery life of your phone. Your app and your phone's geo-location features only work up to the point where your phone has enough energy to send out signals.
So do yourself a big favor, install the app. And if your phone unfortunately gets lost, you only need to go to www.handyorten-24.de, log in, and figure out where your phone is.
Maybe you need to talk to the lost and found people. Maybe you need to talk to the police. Maybe you need to confront people. Whatever the case may be, Handy Orten will ensure that you have the information you need to at least get a shot at recovering your phone.


Adult ADHD and You > Expert QA > Can I Have Adult ADHD But Not Be Hyperactive?
Can an adult not be hyperactive yet still have adult ADHD?
Yes! There are three main types of ADHD, including the stereotypical "predominantly hyperactive-impulsive" type (what most people think of as ADHD), the "predominantly inattentive" type, and a combined type (which includes features of both other types). If you have the predominantly inattentive type, you won't have much trouble with hyperactivity, although you'll have great difficulty with inattention symptoms.
However, just because a person doesn't seem hyperactive to an outsider doesn't mean he or she doesn't have this symptom. Sometimes, adults with ADHD can hide or compensate for their symptom, although it usually takes great effort to do so.

Q: use formik on react-draft-wysiwyg I am using formik for my forms. I wanted to implement react-draft-wysiwyg editor with formik. However, I found following warning in my case.
Warning: Formik called `handleBlur`, but you forgot to pass an `id` or `name` attribute to your input:

Because of which I think, I cannot show error if it has validation issue and also the state is not preserved if i move to next form and come back to the form where I have put content on the editor.
Is that the warning responsible for those issues or I have missed something important?
Here is how I am trying to bind formik with react-draft-wysiwyg

When rendering the form I am doing the follow
<Field

The data I get from server is shown on the editor though.

A: in The component Editor.js
import { useField } from "formik";
const [field, meta] = useField(props.name);
const error = meta.touched && meta.error;

I added bellow <Editor ... />
{meta.touched && meta.error && (
  <FormHelperText>{error}</FormHelperText>

In the page where I used the Editor
when click in the editor , the value will be by default

Low start-up costs and flexible hours are just a few perks associated with starting a writing business out of your home. Drafting a business plan and ad. Home Businesses Freelance Writing. What kind of writing do you hope to do? What are other writers doing similar work charging? Can you compete with those other writers in terms of quality and cost? Answering these questions in a thoughtful, thorough manner will give you a solid sense of where and how you should be directing your writing business.
Draw up an executive summary. The executive summary delineates the overall position of your business and where it is headed. This is regarded as the most important aspect of a business plan since potential investors will see the executive summary first. Your vision statement should be your specific list of goals and actions which can build your business in the future. Your mission statement should, by contrast, be based in the present and represent the continuous process your business is engaged in.
Your executive summary should also include general info about your company history, your growth, the services or types of writing you provide, and an overview of your funding request, if applicable. If your situation changes, or you decide that your writing business needs a better business plan, you can always alter the plan.
Keep your business agile and adept at analyzing the writing market. In a new home-based writing business, you should focus on the decisions that led you to found the home-based writing business, and how it will fill a gap in the writing market.
Delineate the organization and management of your business. If your business consists of, say, just you and your partner, explaining your organizational structure might seem unnecessary, but to potential investors, knowing who does what is important. Demonstrating your business has an organized structure is an important step in attracting new partners or staff if you decide to expand your business in the future.
Decide what kind of business you want to operate your writing business as. Craft your funding request. Include data on potential future funding requests as well. Project at least five years out. Describe your past and potential future earnings. As a new business, you might need to draw on your past writing experience in order to show you understand the writing market.
Maintain a safety net in the early stages of building your writing business. Work part-time with your writing business early on and keep your full-time job. Decide carefully when to write full-time. Set some benchmarks to know when you should transition to making your home-based writing business a full-time endeavor. Maintain enough savings to carry you through months of lean times. You should have enough money saved up to cover your expenses for at least six months.
Set up your home office. Get a chair which supports your spine and provides support. Invest in the software and digital tools you need. Most computers today come with free word-processing software. If, however, your computer does not, you might need to shell out a few hundred dollars to get MS Word or another reputable word-processor. A good word processor should have a clean, simple interface and be intuitive and easy to use.
Decide on a pricing strategy. There are several ways to price your writing. If you price your writing per word or per page, the longer the article, the more you get paid. Charging per hour can also be hard, since an employer will have no way of verifying how long you took to write a given piece. Ensure your prices are competitive.
Analyze the going rates for the type of writing you're specializing in and set your price at a comparable level. Decide what you want your salary to be when setting your prices. Resume edits and reviews are generally easy, so you need not charge a high rate for them. Medical or technical writing, on the other hand, require a high degree of accuracy and know-how, and can justifiably earn a much higher wage.
Plan around your financial needs. Advertising can be expensive. Other business expenses like travel, insurance, computers, or web hosting costs should also be considered. Draft a business plan in order to secure funding from banks or loan agencies. The business plan should provide specific funding requests and describe exactly how loaned money will be used.
Post high-quality content to your website or blog. Make your site and its content useful and easy to navigate. Having a degree related to writing is a useful bona fide, but practical credentials are more useful. If you can cite other writers or articles which link to your writing, or you know how many average page visit you get per day, use this info to bolster your reputation.
WordPress or Tumblr are useful, free content systems which you can utilize to present your work. A table of contents can be helpful for longer proposals with lots of details. List each section and subsection with their corresponding page number.
In general, we recommend keeping your proposal as short as possible. Once you have presented your overall case in the Executive Summary, you can outline the specifics of your proposal. Include information on scheduling , logistics, and pricing. You can use data charts to illustrate key concepts and can also include testimonials from past clients and a link to your website.
The body is also where you include caveats , or disclaimers about the type of work you can deliver. As Andy explained, this is one of the most important parts of your business proposal — and one of the trickiest arts to master. To avoid this type of responsibility, you can write caveats — both about the type of work you offer, and for your pricing. We reserve the right to charge extra in the of an issue that is not listed above.
Once you have outlined the details of your proposal, re-emphasize the exceptional results your company can provide. You should conclude with a call to action that encourages the reader to contact you or visit your website for more information.
Ideally, you want your client to take an immediate action, even if it is something small. The Appendix is an optional section that you can use to include information that might not fit well in the body of your proposal.
For example, you can include resumes or additional graphs, projections, and customer testimonials. All it does is put pressure on your client to sign the deal quickly. While this was a common sales strategy in the past, many small business owners have veered away from this philosophy today.
As far as the text itself, keep an eye out for repetition. Rather than emphasize your value proposition again and again, find a single example that drives your point home: Make sure you use clear, concise, and simple language that avoids industry jargon and technical terms. There is one exception: As Andy explained, this is because you never know who is reading the proposal.
Often it gets passed from a business owner to other employees, spouses, and even friends. A joke that lands well with your client may fall flat with somebody else.
Email tracking is offered by a number of different programs — including Insightly CRM. Write your message either from scratch, or using an email template , attach your proposal, and send.
While you might be thinking the challenge ends with a signed contract, this is not exactly the case. This means, again, keeping the details straight and staying on top of deadlines. This automatically transfers your custom fields, notes and documents.
Then, follow a new pipeline to deliver the product. In terms of how to write a business proposal, the most important thing is to try and think like your client. If you can put yourself in their shoes, you will be better able to explain why your company is the best for the job and anticipate all the questions they may have.

Tim Tebow's first all-star game appearance started great but ended with a loss.
Tebow doubled in his first at-bat, then watched his East team lose to the West in a hitting competition after the teams were tied at 4-4 following nine innings of Wednesday night's Eastern League all-star game in Trenton, New Jersey.
Tebow, who plays for the Mets' Double-A affiliate in Binghamton, started as the East's designated hitter and hit ninth, going 1-for-4 with the opposite-field double and a strikeout. He played all nine innings.
The East rallied to tie the game with one run in the ninth. That led to the hitting competition. Each manager selected one batter from his team to hit as many balls as he could in two minutes.
Home runs were worth 100 points, balls hit to left and right were five, and balls hit to center 10.
Will Craig of Altoona hit two HRs en route to 305 points to beat Reading's Zach Green (275 points) to give the West the win.

A Woman on the Wildside - A Dance of Fate in Argentina
'He made me comfortable in a manner usually signifying eminent intimacy. Sometimes such people are guideposts, stationed by destiny to lead you to the next phase of your journey, or as agents of transformation. On occasion, a stranger appears to offer a passionate night or two, a dance with danger, when traveling away from the homeland.'
Please Note: "A Woman on the Wild Side" is a series of blogs chronicling author Anastasia Blackwell's experience traveling in Argentina, and features a mysterious young man named Tamerlane Rivera There are plans for the blogs to be compiled and and published when her adventure is complete..
Tamerlane Rivera removed his overcoat and used it to shield me from the torrential downpour. He guided me from the Recoleta Cemetery to La Biela, a lovely restaurant on the square, known for the common presence of American actor Robert Duvall, whose movie, Tango Assassination, was filmed in Buenos Aires. The restaurant manager greeted Tamerlane as an old friend and offered a prime window table, with a view of the entrance to the cemetery and pedestrians passing beneath colorful umbrellas. It was August, winter in Argentina, but it would soon be spring and the weather was mild
Our conversation began formally, with mutual questions about our backgrounds. The chatter of guests and the soothing sound of rain beating against the rooftop afforded a homey intimacy. He made me comfortable in a manner that usually signifies eminent intimacy. Sometimes such people are guideposts, stationed by destiny to lead you to the next phase in your journey, or as agents of transformation. Occasionally, they offer a passionate night or two, a dance with danger, when traveling away from the homeland.
"I followed the family tradition and went to law school," he told me. "I come from a long line of attorneys and politicians. But, when I experienced first hand the corruption, in the government and courts, I was disgusted. It is my opinion that there is no justice for the underprivileged in this land, or any other, from my experience. Institutions are created to earn capital, create fear, and control the masses.
He paused and looked out the window pane, streaming with rain.
"Last night, as we stood facing the Tribunal, I saw in your eyes that you had suffered an injustice," he said.
"To be driven by fear is to ride in the trunk of your own car. You will never arrive at your destination,' you told me.
He offered an enigmatic smile and the reflection of something else.
"Sometimes the courts will dole out a good result, often published it in the media. It operates in the manner of a lottery or a slot machine, giving people hope and reinforcement that the system works to their benefit. But even then, the attorneys are the real winners," he told me.
"Do you still practice law?" I asked, and held his provocative gaze.
"I occasionally take cases, to assist those who do not have access to a defense. But, mostly my efforts are centered on working with activists to create an underground social movement that operates both inside and outside the system. Our beliefs are rooted in the sovereignty of the individual."
"Are you a revolutionary?"
"I am a Transformationalist."
"I'm not familiar with the ideology."
He paused for a moment and drew a forefinger across his lower lip.
My group organized the demonstration you attended. We provide political speakers and the trucks used to haul stage set-ups, video and audio equipment, and banners. I keep my eye on the spectators to make certain the crowd remains in control and the police are kept at bay. That's how I found you, although you would not be hard to miss at any vantage point."
I blushed at the compliment, though not entirely convinced his beguiling manner wasn't universally administered, as heir to the machismo porteño culture.
"I presumed your appearance was more than serendipity," I said.
"What path led you there?"
"I asked the ticket seller at the train station what stop to take to arrive at Arenales and Suipacha. He told me to get out at the Tribunals exit."
"Then it was fate."
"You got off at the wrong stop."
Our waiter, who moved like an invisible puppeteer guiding him by strings, arrived with a silver platter of steaming coffee and dulche de leche dessert, a delicious Argentinean favorite. Tamerlane switched to his native Spanish tongue and engaged the man in a banter that accented the deep melodic tone of his voice.
A melancholy drifted over me as the pouring rain beat the window, obscuring our view. The world dissolved into a blur, leaving only the security of the present. As he spoke with the waiter I admired his impressive physical attributes.
He had intense, soulful brown eyes, a strong jaw with a faint cleft in the chin, full lips, and luxurious dark wavy hair grazing to his shirt collar, an expressive chest straining against cotton, long legs, and muscular thighs. His high cheek bones would have made him near model perfect, were it not for the horizontal scar below his left eye socket. I wasn't certain of his age, although he was clearly younger. Yet, he hadn't flinched when I told him my boys were grown. Tamerlane reclined in his chair, raised his cup of café con leche to his lips, and observed me with curiosity, as the waiter departed. His skin held tawny color, yet was translucent, naked, like still water - tranquil, yet teaming with life. He was clearly a man who had never experienced rejection or failure. His eyes held keen intelligence, a radar that searched for subtext and anticipated the next move. Deeply complex and masculine, there was a hint of vulnerability lurking beneath that charged him with the illusive aura of charisma.
"Is your family buried there?" I asked him, looking out the smeared window toward the gates of the Recoleta Cemetery.
"Yes. They lie next to the murderous general."
"Is there no other choice of destiny?"
"Perhaps," he said softly, and I saw the first crack in his resolve.
I shifted my gaze to a painting on the paneled wall of a beautiful couple dancing the tango. The raven haired beauty wore a low cut red dress, slit to thigh, and a shapely long leg was wrapped around the leg of her sultry partner. They were either drunk on love or Malbec wine, and their infatuation was tantalizing.
"Would you like to learn to dance the tango?" He asked, and broke into a grin that revealed an enviable set of teeth
"I've heard it's very complicated," I answered and cut into my dessert, oozing with warm caramel and chocolate.
For the man it's complex. A woman only needs to learn a few moves. The man controls the dance and the woman follows his lead."
"It seems women will never break free from that blue print," I said, with a dash of playfulness cutting through my sarcasm.
"It takes discipline to understand how to get into the head of your partner, to learn how he thinks, to understand his weaknesses and strengths, while introducing your own spice and personality. Done properly it transcends the partners and alters the essence of the dance," he said.
"I'm not good at following. I like to be in control," I said, and met his gaze dead on.
"To be in control is to be out of touch with your instincts," he said, and I thought he might take my hand - but instead he motioned for the waiter.
"I call Tango the Dance of Fate. The man defines the nature of the journey and the woman uses instinct to follow him, while introducing her own stylistic accent. At some point in the dance, the woman begins to influence the instincts of the man, and the dance takes on a life of its own."
"As the couple falls in sync, they inspire each other to create moves neither would have never imagined, if left to their own volition. Art is created when that happens, and sometimes the passion bleeds into the bedroom. But not always," he said with a seductive flicker of his eyes.
"I have experienced what you describe as an actress working with a highly skilled partner. It's what drives my passion for the craft. But I view it more as a duel."
"Duel implies a loser, " he said
"A duel is a game of strategy," I answered.
He flashed a charming smile to the women seated beside us, a quartet of coifed matrons with suits buttoned to the chin, primly sipping tea and taking dainty bites of flakey empanadas, who had ceased their casual chatter to eavesdrop.
"There is an underground club where the greatest tango dancers in the world practice for championships, away from the eyes of the gawkers and those who steal choreography. If you like, I will take you there."
"Do you dance?" I asked, and finished my espresso,down to the last drop.
"I used to compete – when I was a student at the university. Now, I enjoy it for recreation."
"In that case, perhaps you can recommend a studio for me to learn a few basic steps before you introduce me to the dance floor."
"The rain has stopped. Let me walk you back to your hotel," he said. "It will be dark soon."

Scene from Screenplay "The House on Black Lake" offers Shades of "Fifty Shades of Grey"
A scene from the Screenplay adaptation of Anastasia Blackwell's erotic thriller, "The House on Black Lake" was presented in a staged reading at Beyond Baroque in Venice California. The scene was written before "Fifty Shades of Grey" became a pop culture phenom. Some say author, E. L. James borrowed the name "Anastasia" in her research for the erotic novel. It is also coincidental that Anastasia Blackwell grew up in the Pacific Northwest and has intimate knowledge of the area, while E.L. James lives outside London.
The controversial power play scene brought requests from audience members, who compared its content with the popular BDSM novel and movie, "Fifty Shades of Grey", to publish the scene from the screenplay, adapted from the book.
INT. SANDELEY'S SUMMER HOUSE - FOYER - NIGHT
Alexandra treads quietly through the dark entryway past the
mounted animal heads. Ramey appears from out of the shadows
and swings her around to face him.
(angry)
Take your hands off me.
He is bleary-eyed, his good looks tarnished by alcohol,
jealousy, and something darkly troubling.
ALEXANDRA (CONT'D)
I don't welcome the sexual advances
of my friend's husband, or anyone
else's for that matter.
Meaning what?
You nearly got off with me in the
hallway last night.
Not very lady-like -
I have no respect for men who seek
the safety of the cage and the thrill
of the wild - but don't have the
guts to commit to either.
Don't lecture me, dear.
He roughly guides her down the darkened hallway leading to
the bedroom corridor.
Where's Ruth?
She stayed the night in Montreal.
You're clearly drunk.
Quiet. You'll wake the children.
RUTH AND RAMEY'S BEDROOM - MOMENTS LATER
Ramey sits in a hanging chair in a bedroom softly lit by
chandeliers. There is a fire in the fireplace, as the night
has turned cold. A massive four poster dressed in crimson
silk commands the space. Alexandra is stationed by the door.
I've seen your warlock's den. What
are you, some kind of wizard?
I have a fascination with science
and magick. Does that frighten you?
You don't frighten me.
He rides his hands up the chains.
Why did you row me out to stay in
the house on the island?
It was like tying you up without
tethers. Knowing I could set you
free - or not.
Cruel games are played by those with
no control over their victims.
True freedom can only be experienced
through absolute containment. When
your body is imprisoned, the soul is
released. And once it happens,
there's turning back.
Ramey observes her intently, and stands.
RAMEY (CONT'D)
You've had a taste of it, haven't
you? It started in the Victorian,
and you went there with me in the
hallway.
Is this the warlock talking, or do
you worship a darker deity?
That's why you fell for the pathetic
charms of Andre Labat.
(he tracks her surprise)
But giving yourself to that little
worm is like a sailor dipping his
cup in the sea when he's dying of
thirst. He'll never quench what I
see in you.
I found the young man quite charming.
He approaches with an ominous gleam.
The night we left you on the island
I made love to Ruth and pretended
she was you.
Save your confessions for your satanic
priest.
(hovering over her)
Does your dark side frighten you?
It must be a lonely world you live
in, where nothing matters other than
fulfilling your perverted needs.
You stay in my house, eat my food,
drive my car, and expect me to babysit
your son so you can go out and
fulfill your perverted needs?
I am your guest, and with whom I
choose to sleep is not your concern.
I'm a single woman - free to do
whatever I desire. I had the guts
to release myself. You, on the other
hand, have no claim on freedom. You
wear the gold band of ownership.
You're no different than your pierced
and branded livestock.
Potent Pause: his eyes darken, flit side to side, and a wry
smile plays at the edge of his lips.
As the master of the household, I
have certain expectations, and rules
that must be obeyed. I would like
you to consent to a punishment for
being such an ungrateful house-guest.
Five lashes would be fair, wouldn't
you agree?
This has gone far enough!
Have you ever taken corporal
punishment from a lover?
Good-night, Ramey.
Walk out that door and I'm taking
you and your son to the airport
(turning away)
I refuse to continue with this sick -
Ramey roughly whisks her into his arms, carries her across
the room, and throws her onto the bed.
Turn around and bend over, hands
against the bed.
He unbuckles his belt.
Hide on skin is painful, but it's
the only way to transcend.
The word "no" may sound foreign -
since you've never heard it.
I could tie you up and torture you
with love first - but you don't
deserve it.
You've tortured me long enough.
Then, let's get to it.
Ramey draws his belt from his jeans and Alexandra draws a
breath of anticipation. The tension between the two is
exquisite.
We're the same, you know. We're the
same breed. I've known it since our
eyes met in the desert.
I'm nothing like your kind.
He slides his opposing hand down the length of the stiff
leather, and pulls it taut.
Do what I say - there's no way out.
You may be a sorcerer, but you are
neither my master, nor my priest.
There's no choice, dear.
My body and soul are not for your
taking.
(overlaps)
We've been conjoined by fate -
That privilege is earned through
commitment and trust.
And there is nothing -
I will only supplicate myself to a
man who worships me as much as I
worship him.
We can do to stop it!
He WHIPS the belt up and powerfully STRIKES. Alexandra
releases an involuntary cry, as it barely misses her, and
cracks against the bedpost.
I now realize I made a terrible
And, so have I.
Yet, I gave up everything and your
life remains intact.
Look at me. Look into the pupils of
my eyes. They're the place where
you can see inside the mind, and
read what its thinking.
She gazes up into his tortured eyes.
You're moving away from me, Baby.
It's like you've fallen into the
bottom of a well. You're crouched
down there, but I can't get to you.
I can't save you.
Alexandra solemnly stands and moves to the door.
I didn't ask you to save me.
She turns and walks to the door.
I believe it's you who is looking to be saved. You
need to save yourself, before
it's too late.
She exits.

A Woman on the Wildside - Sex and the Cemetery in Argentina
"The place was tranquil, in a disturbing way, beautiful in a gothic manner of opulent splendor, a facade for darker stories - a ghost town in the literal sense."
NOTE: A Woman on the Wildside is a series of blogs currently being written by Anastasia Blackwell, chronicling her experience as a single woman traveling in Argentina, with the purpose of publishing the complete series.
"I imagined a late night tryst beneath a full moon, bare skin against cold stone, alive in the shadows of death, a delicious shock of electricity riding spine to heart, and the drive to create new life".
I strode down bustling Avenida Alvear, past the Cathedral with open door confessionals and prayer stalls lined with candles. The sweet smells that wafted from the bakeries and candy shops filled my senses with delight, and. I ached to stop and try the fine leather boots and jackets in the windows of upscale boutiques, but I was running late.
Tamerlane Rivera appeared as I made my way past Our Lady of Pilar Church to the entrance of the Recoleta Cemetery, its stone façade in stark contrast to the swirl of white clouds floating, adrift in a sea of blue. He wore a black cashmere coat over a white collared shirt open at the neck, and dark wash jeans. His embrace was firm and confident, affording a kiss to my cheek that left a trace of musk and spice.
At the finale of the demonstration at the Tribunal he had offered an invitation to show me the sights of Buenos Aires. I had agreed, despite numerous warnings that a single woman must be cautious when traveling in Argentina. I did not regret the decision, as his beguiling good looks had the same affect in the harsh light of day as the romantic warm hue of moonlight..
"I grew up in the barrio of Recoleta, on the street that houses many of the embassies. Most of the wealth in Argentina is held by the people who live within the district."
He guided me past a vendor cooking glazed walnuts, through neo classical gates and Doric columns into one the most famous cemeteries in the world. Inside the walled gates was a city of extravagant mausoleums that housed the remains of wealthy, famous, and infamous Argentinean citizens.
"Most locals born to the neighborhood are baptized in the church, educated, build careers, get married, raise children, retire, and move to the exclusive city of the dead, when they pass on. It is expensive real estate and there are no simple stones, the kind used to mark the remains of common people."
"No Exit," I remarked.
"Your description reminded me of an existential Jean Paul Sartre play."
"He is one of my favorite philosophers," he said.
"Mine too," I said, in half earnest, distracted, by the vast array of artistry used to render the essence of a human life.
The place was tranquil, in a disturbing way, beautiful in a gothic manner of opulent splendor, a façade for darker stories - a ghost town in the literal sense.
The elaborate marble mausoleums were decorated with statues in a wide range of architectural styles, tightly attached, like miniature houses, decorated with sophistocated sculptures, art, and photographs.
A strong French influence was apparent, but pyrmids, Egyptian motifs and Masonry symbols added an eclectic flair. Laid out like city blocks, the main walkways lined with trees led to narrow streets meandering for what seemed like miles. There were thousands of homes, and many offered clear views inside doors and windows, of elaborate, wood caskets adorned with precious metals.
The most touching was the crypt of a young woman who had mistakenly been buried alive, and then died of fright when she awakened. She had been reburied behind glass, in case she reawakened a second time.
"Eva Peron is buried further down this walkway," he said, and led me along a narrow path to an elegant crypt lined with flowers and notes from her fans." "She would have been forgotten beneath a slab in the country had she not used her beauty and eloquence to reform the country. "
"I read she was embalmed by her husband." I said..
"Yes, and was stolen by thieves after he died. She was held as the property of his widow for a period of time."
"A woman's worst nightmare," I said..
"Beauty and power exact a price," he remarked, with a warm smile.
Evita rose from poverty to become an international icon for her rhetoric, personal style, and tireless work on behalf of women and the poor. A victim of uterine cancer, she lost her life to what created life and defined her as a woman.
"Is her husband, Juan, buried beside her?" I asked.
"Her family would not let Peron lie beside her since he remarried after her death. The crypt next door is for sale for $500,000. Money buys position."
"It's heartbreaking that she lies here alone, a spectacle to tourists, with a plot 'for lease' next to her, when her passion and commitment to her husband and her country were unconditional."
"Legacy is all that matters."
We passed the statue of a warrior on horseback. "This famous general was revered for his slaughter of the local natives. A monument to genocide," he said.
Tamerlane paused before a broken-down crypt, with glass shattered and laced cobwebs. The dusty coffins inside could be clearly seen and a top was slightly ajar, which made the scene even more macabre.
A high pitched cry came from inside the crypt and the wrought iron door began to open. I gasped and I jumped back, nearly into Tamerlane's arms.
"It's a feline not a ghost," he reassured me, while barely stifling his amusement. "Cats are brought here to live when their masters are laid to rest. They keep the rodents at bay."
A tabby cat stepped outside and sauntered leisurely down the street to the next abandoned home.
When a citizen dies their surviving family members are required to pay the caretakers to keep up the property. If their relatives fall into hard times or lose interest in their old relatives, the deceased are left to the ravages of nature."
"Foreclosure in the cemetery," I replied.
A dark shadow passed overhead and the sultry scent of the aquatic permeated the air. A shroud of black clouds threatened to flood the streets of the departed.
Tamerlane turned to me with a mysterious smile. His gaze lowered to my lips, my heart began to race, and for a brief moment I was lost to fantasy. I imagined a late night tryst beneath a full moon, bare skin against cold stone, alive in the shadows of death, a delicious shock of electricity riding spine to heart, and the drive to create new life".
"There is no escaping Capitalism if you choose to lie with him," he remarked, and looked deeper into my eyes as though to capture the image of forbidden love I had conjured.
"Who owns your soul?" I asked, in a shallow voice.
"My soul is not for the taking," he replied.
"Does that mean it's not been given?"
"It means it has not been bought."
The heavy clouds began to give way to a torrential downfall.
"Come, let's find shelter," he said, and took my arm to lead me outside the walls of the city of the dead.

A Woman on the Wildside - A Taste of Freedom in Argentina
Author Anastasia Blackwell joins protesters in front of Tribunal in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
" I to be rocked to the soul by a passion I couldn't control, an obsessive, unquenchable desire that burned through the night, blazed shadows against the stars, and brought new meaning to a world gone stale. Purpose."
Please Note: "A Woman on the Wild side" is a blog written by Anastasia Blackwell chronicling her journey in Argentina, featuring a mysterious young man named Tamerlane Rivera. The series will be published upon completion.
A Rebel is Born
America 1776 - a new constitution affords "men" their God given divine right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
America 2013 - "The divine right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness will never hold up in court," a prominent attorney told me. "Courts are created for attorneys to make a living and justice is for those who can pay for it."
"An injustice to one citizen is a blow to us all," I protested.
He nodded with a patronizing mile.
'Art is a powerful means of expressing social, political and emotional discontent, and rebellion is often best clothed in subtext. But sometimes you have to speak your mind, and not give a damn about the consequences', I wrote in my journal.
To that end, I took action.
In a serendipitous moment, alone on the Buenos Aires streets while visiting my son studying abroad in Argentina, I came upon a political demonstration. The passion and vigor of the congregated masses transformed the air with the thrill of possibility. The throng took me deep into their folds and moved me, like the undertow of a current, to face an imposing judicial building. Beneath the colorful flags of the demonstrators and the brightly lit Tribunal voices elevated by loud speakers exposed truths, both esoteric and unspeakable.
They cried out against a government that had lost touch with the needs and desires of its citizens. They spoke of inflation, political corruption, unjust courts, and greedy banks, and even darker, of torture, underground justice, and stolen and murdered children. It was a triumphant showdown of man against institution, beneath an enraptured sky.
The speeches of men and women of all ages and ethnicities echoed through the night, as tears were shed and a torrent of human emotions swelled up and filled our hearts. Light flooded from the windows of the stoic building, held strong by its columns, unmoving, defiant, secure in its weight and position, as the police closed in.
We stood before the Goliath building, a glorious sea of humanity, together in our purpose to fight for our God given rights - the promise of Democracy.
A man positioned himself next to me - tall, powerfully built, dressed in a pea coat and jeans, with golden skin and lush dark hair spilling to his collar, topped by a black fedora displaying a gold crescent pin. He bestowed warm brown eyes and a smile, his teeth glimmering white beneath the bloated moon. His Spanish baritone resonated like a caress.
"You are an American?" he asked.
"How did you know?"
"We cannot allow government institutions rule us through fear," he stated simply.
The night had grown cold with the passing clouds, and I folded my arms and drew my coat tight, while searching his intense eyes. Lost there, I saw something of myself reflected back, a part of me I had not known existed until that moment - and something profound began to awaken. Flags waved the image of revolutionary Che Guevara and patriotic music stirred the citizens to near riot.
"I am a single mother. How can I stand up against a powerful male patriarchal system? The American constitution was meant to be democratic, but it was forged by founding fathers, not mothers."
"Your founding fathers fought a similar battle, only as the bastard children of a strict and unyielding father across the Atlantic. You can accept their remedy or choose your own. There are many ways to revolt and many ways to achieve your goals once you set them," he said, with a charming smile.
"Are you a revolutionary?"
"A transformationalist."
"I'm not familiar with the ideology."
"My name is Tamerlane Rivera. Welcome to my country," he said, and he offered his hand.
The crowd roared, canons fired, and a zealous, chaotic energy infused the square that was intoxicating, exhilarating. Yet, it wasn't enough - I wanted more.
I wanted to be rocked to the soul by a passion I couldn't control, taken to the furthest edge of mind and body, by an obsessive, unquenchable desire that burned through the night, blazed shadows against the stars and brought new meaning to a world gone stale. Purpose.
journey shifted in the moment, my perception of reality altered, like awakening to a winter morning with a freshly fallen blanket of snow, pristine, untouched, ready for the weight of the first footsteps to bring life a hidden landscape ready for the taste of something new.
