What Would Batman Do? Making Your Characters Human

By J. S. Collyer

I think everyone loves stories, or needs them, in some shape or form, whether they be TV series, movies, books, or articles on which celebrity fell into what ditch over the weekend and what they were (or weren’t) wearing at the time. Stories, no matter the sort, are powerful because they take us out of ourselves and give us another reality, another possibility, a window into another world.

Those among us who lean towards genre fiction like sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal or anything even slightly out of kilter with reality, arguably take it a step further than most: not…

There Comes a Time One Must Admit Defeat…

…Although don’t panic, I’m still working on my novel. For a while now I have been convinced that the storyline has been finished and indeed I have come to the ending wanting to really portray the feelings generated by it for both the readers and the protagonist. However, editing as I am I have come to various points where I just have to add more. There has been many aspects; the nuances of different relationships, some missing action and even the hope to portray your characters in a different light; that I have discovered I need to add but I’m not entirely sure how to do this or how to feel about it. I don’t want to add something in that i feel needs adding just to find it makes the entire section of the novel seem obsolete or pathetic.

How do you come to terms with thinking you are so close to the finished product and yet discovering you are so far away. I really admire my friend Jex who always has a lot to write about and is always so passionate in the writing. She’s very good and I worry that my novel may not stand up since I have to add more in. This is a moment of doubt I’m sure I will work though but for now must work on my novel and getting it right 🙂

Thank you for listening to my vent 🙂

Also yes the artwork is again by Luis Royo, I can’t help it, he’s my favourite 🙂

We live in a world were it seems to be opened season on consumers. So, is there evidence that detox foot patches work? we can confidently say yes! The visual proof after using detoxifying foot pads is credible. The improvement is obvious when used over several consecutive days. A highly accredited Environmental Laboratory, SRC Analytical Lab, analyzed multiple samples of foot pads. It discovered absorption into the pads of Arsenic, Mercury, Nickel and many others. detox-foot-patches-benefitsA syncrometer was used to analyze multiple pads for a number of folks. The syncrometer identified the following substances in the used pads: aluminum, arsenic, asbestos, benzene, cadmium, copper, DAB dye, fast green dye, isopropyl alcohol, lead, methyl alcohol, mercury, nickel, sudan black dye, thallium, and a plastic byproduct. Scientists analyzed the hair of people before and after the use of the detoxifying foot pads. The difference in levels of toxins was obvious. Japan scientists have conducted detailed research of foot pads using Thermography. They discovered that the pads are able to quicken circulation and thus the detoxification of the body. A study discovered that the cleansing foot pads increase the presence of alpha brain waves. These waves play a role in the healing and relaxation processes. There is one very important thing to keep in mind. You must be careful of cheap, fake detox foot patches. They usually contain lower quality or in some cases harmful substances. This is the principal reason why so many people did not achieve satisfying results with detoxifying foot pads.
