How to Relieve Stress

Copyright 2005 Trevor DumbletonOne question that is not asked enough by people under stress is how to relieve stress. Unfortunately, people who are under stress tend to simply take it as a matter of course and simply accept its existence as though it was some sort of natural occurrence, or even a boon!

Today’s article focuses on golf and that much talked about mental part. Golf, like any sport, is 90% mental. The top PGA players work just as hard on their mental game as they do on their swing.

‘I'm Not A Christian, But I Play One On Sunday'

After more than three decades of church ministry, I have come to one unsettling conclusion. Actually, I've come to more than one conclusion, but this one is the most depressing.That conclusion is simply this: all who say they are going to Heaven are not actually on the right path, going in the right direction. Most, of course, have the best intentions, but good intentions don't make up for going in the wrong direction.Our government insists advertisers adhere to what they call "truth in advertising." I would like to insist on something I call "truth in testimony." By that, I mean what people say about themselves should be the truth. If this could ever be enacted by Congress, some people will...

If you’re looking for an easy but effective way to garner publicity, try writing articles.There are gazillions of ezines and websites looking for content; good, solid, well written content. And in my experience, most of them are happy to accept reprints.But how do you write articles, and go about getting your articles known?Firstly, you need to write about something that people are interested in. Pick a subject (or subjects) that you are knowledgeable in, but more importantly, the subject should be related to a book you have written and are currently selling.I generally write about techniques used in writing. The reason is that it helps to spread the word about my ebooks for writers and the Writer2Writer.com website.This gives me...

Where's the Emotion?

A certain “friend” sits over my shoulder when I write. Now, she sits there figuratively, not literally, but she always says, "Dig deeper. Let me see and feel the emotion." She reads some more before asking, "Where's the emotion? Don't skim the surface. Let me feel what your character felt.""But it hurts to feel the emotion enough to share it," I complain."Well (actually she used a stronger word, but I don't), do you really want to be a writer? Then write so the reader feels." She leans back and folds her arms, daring me to be a writer.Yes, Jessie, I think I've learned that lesson well by now. However, the stuff I read doesn't show the emotion often. The writer...

The year was 0001 A.D. Now, no more than myself, it wasn’t much to look at. We had no electricity; so needless to say, it wasn’t much of a present either. You don’t get to be my age by giving out though, so I set about improving it. There were some minor obstacles. First going of, its processor was made of granite. While this was effective, in the absence of electricity, its clock speed left something to be desired. For this, I used a simple mixture of sawdust (Trade Mark) and other sawdust...
