  • Car Fire

    • From: michaelm7
    • Description:

      Shot this car fire with my phone (Blackberry Storm) on Monday night (11-16-09).

      Located on WB Hwy 4 at hwy 680... right at the off ramp for Pacheco Blvd. Looks like it was a station wagon (Family Truckster?). 

      I didn't see anyone around except the CHP who apparently just arrived. I was surprised the freeway traffic was allowed to pass, but I've never seen anything like this in person- only on TV or movies. I could really FEEL the heat as we drove slowly by... there was only one open lane between me and the Car-B-Que!  

      I wonder if something like this would be shown on the news? I'd probably have to upload it immediately afterwards rather than two days later. Maybe next time.  

      I'd like to know what happened here... the car overheat? how did it start? Was anyone hurt?

      I would have stopped and tried to help, but there were two CHP or police cars there so I figured they had it under control.

      Interesting anyway, right?

  • On Keeping the Writing Fire Bu

    • From: jamieduffs
    • Description:

       

      ONE thing that amateur writers must know about motivation: It also dries up.

      No matter how enthusiastic a writer is at the very moment, time will come that he will feel some sort of emptiness within him—that anything he comes up with seems to be a crap.

      But the feeling of exhaustion or seemingly drying motivation among writers is just normal. Writing should never ever become a chore that only needs to be done by anyone—it should always be a rewarding profession like no other.

      Here's what amateur and even the skilled writers can do to keep their passion for writing from burning:

      Read a lot. It is the best way to break the monotony of a boring life, more so, the already-uncreative style of writing. Imagine the new world that one can discover and loads of information that he can learn as he turns the pages of even just one book! Reading not only rids boredom, according to some professional writers, like those working under the helm of Superior Papers.com, it widens one's horizon of information as it allows somebody to confidently talk about something; improves the creative side of the mind as it absorbs innovation into one's thinking cycle; reinforces the value of discipline in a person; it enhances the memory; allows one to get better at concentration; and improves one's word garden or vocabulary.

      Shift to other genres once in a while. Bulk scribbling and even blogging can be very tiring, and forcing thyself to go on even if the mind is already disagreeing is definitely a big no-no. Take time out and then try to write something that is totally different from the first task. Like when one is writing for a fashion section in a newspaper, she may also try writing short stories for children. The bottom line here is that one has to miss his first activity to bring back whatever motivation he lost upon his return.

      Don't just start from the beginning. There is no rule that says writers have to write the opening part of his piece first before anything else. There's no harm in skipping and jumping into the concluding part, especially when one is already struggling to write let's say the start of his paper. They should first try to write whatever part that interests them so much so that everything else will run smoothly.

      Take a walk. If a newbie writer is in front of his PC monitor or laptop screen for 30 minutes already, but the screen is still all-white or he hasn't written anything yet, maybe it is time for him to take time out, stand up an then walk outside. It doesn't have to be strenuous, the point here is to go outside away from these writing gadgets or equipment. As one tries to traverse a place, then he should also allow his thoughts to travel and establish themselves as a story.

      Always find pleasure in writing. Nothing can be very grueling than writing something that does not or will never inspire a writer. This is when writing burnout or even writer's block surfaces. Writing pundits like the editors just know too well whether writers under their tutelage still enjoy what they are scribbling, it emanates in their style.

      There could be tons of excuses and reasons as to why some writers fail to write—and procrastination is on top of that long list. But it only takes motivation to scribble and get through any writing activity. The choice still lies in the hands of amateur writers whether they will master the art of keeping up with yesterday, or complete the task well and right.

      Dreaming and hoping but delaying any piece of writing will never ever produce something that it's own writer will be very proud of.

      There is no best time for amateur and expert writers to write, but there is NOW!
