The moment itself isn’t big. A few words are said. But the effect is felt and leads to further plot development. Basically, you want everything in your novel to have an effect. Otherwise, why is it there? This is especially important for your plot turning point moments, the ones that resonate throughout the story.
Struggling with plot? Work with me as your book editor and we can engineer a strong and compelling story together.
Great point. No pun intended. Always move the story forward is the rule I think. Every chapter or scene should move the story or the reader will be disinterested.
Right! Plot isn’t merely a series of events!
What would be an example of a reversible plot point? Or should I assume that if it’s reversible, it’s just action, not actually plot?
Excellent point, I had a story that I felt lacked action, so I injected action events which gave directives for really great illustrations. They did make the story feel like a string of imaginings, as you would say. I would say the same rule applies to stories as in life, only plot twists that would be memorable years later. We can fill our days with events, but only meaningful times are remembered. As always, thanks for the great advice Mary!

The Cutest Photo Ornaments/Magnets Ever!
Could they be any cuter???? The kids got frustrated and bored with the project and I ended doing it all alone until the wee hours of the night, but I had a blast!
I love how my little “Santa” is perched on my “DREAM” letters on a shelf in my bed room.
I will post more pictures tomorrow of the ones the kids made, my niece made the cutest magnet pixie of herself, by just hot gluing a circle magnet to the back. What mom, grandmother, aunt, uncle wouldn’t want to display these little cuties year round on their refrigerator or at the office? These would make awesome gifts! Check out Wendy's Pixie Tutorial at the Shabby Nest.
These are so extremely cute. I love it! I can't wait to try doing this. Thanks for sharing!!!
Aw, how adorable! These turned out so cute!
Oh my...these are so cute! What a cute idea!! My kids are in HS and College but I think I am going to dig up some older photos and make these as a surprise for them. Thanks for sharing these! I love them!
aww, this is SOOO adorable! I love this idea.
This Movie is a part of aa large-scale, multi-media LE performance by LE ensemble Cyberbass (directed by the author) that took place in Lismore, New South Wales, in 2008 and was also live-streamed. The performance was built around a series of seven linked improvisations by a four-member LE band, and combined musical performance with audio-visual material recorded on previous LE tours by the author. The overall performance has a narrative structure built around the views of representatives of the Australian LE community. Videotaped interviews were edited by the author and then triggered and processed live by video artist Cicada (Kirsten Bradley). The interview audio was processed by a Max/MSP patch by one of the performers and replayed in surround sound. In this way the LE performance was integrated with interview ‘mashups’.
This article examines links between contexts and creative practices amongst a group of contemporary Australian musicians working within the field of ‘live electronica’. For the purposes of this article, ‘live electronica’ (henceforth LE) is defined as electronic dance music (henceforth EDM) performed for an audience in real time by a group of musicians, without the aid of machine/computer-controlled sound generation sequences on drum machines, samplers or loop machines. Defined this way, LE stands in contrast with other forms of performed EDM that incorporate pre-composed or sequenced music triggered by a computer-interfaced performer.
Australian LE emerged in the 1990s and went through a period of development and consolidation during the first decade of the twentieth century. This article sees Australian LE musicians as inhabiting a musical ‘subculture’ (Hebdige 1979) and ‘scene’ (Straw 1991) – in which musical practices interact and cross-fertilise. Huq’s (2006) description of a ‘neo-tribe’ as a loosely-affiliated group formed as a “a response or solution to prevailing times” (28) can also be applied to Australian LE musicians. Illustrating what Brown, Eldridge and McCormack (2009: 11) describe as ‘the changing roles of composition, performer and instrument in contemporary creative practice,’ this article examines evolutionary processes and transformative factors that have impacted on the creative practices of Australian LE musicians. Within this discussion, digital music technology and changing economic, cultural and social contexts are seen to impact strongly on the emergence of new musical processes and forms.
On a broad scale, Australian LE musicians, interacting on tour and via the internet with other global musicians, have taken part in a transformative cultural process that Toynbee (2003: 110) describes as ‘code shaping’. Toynbee’s discussion implies that certain genres (such as music concrete, minimalism, and electronica) generate innovative creative processes that challenge existing musical conventions. LE is one recent sub-genre in which significant musical code-shaping has taken place – using creative processes that have been as yet little documented. Although in recent years the currency of the generic LE term has begun to recede – as live ensemble elements within EDM become more common-place, and as music classification terminologies (web tags) become more and more specific within the digital download environment – the LE movement of the past two decades can be seen to have played an historically-important role in ‘humanising’ EDM.
The article presents a participant-observer documentation and analysis of Australian LE practices, drawing on the experiences of one of the authors as an LE performer in Australia and overseas, as well as on a range of unstructured interviews with LE musicians conducted when opportunities arose (often while the author was on tour). The author’s position as a member of the LE community frames this article as a perspective from within the community. The article discusses the specific musical skills, techniques and creative processes employed by LE musicians to produce live, largely improvised music performances influenced by EDM – an area previously dominated by DJs/music producers using pre-composed or sequenced material. Endorsing the idea that music ‘emerges out of the enabling framework of society’ (Butler (2006: 15) – that the creation of musical works involves not only the intentions of auteurs, but also the dynamics of a surrounding community and wider culture – the discussion also examines a range of contexts associated with the music-making process. The overall aim of the article is to provide insight into creative practices among a group of Australian musicians whose original music-making represents an innovative response to technological, social, and economic changes that have altered the contexts of their creative lives.
Performances of EDM that feature musicians playing along to a sequencer and/or drum machine are sometimes described as LE – but these ‘hybrid’ performances involve both live and non-live elements.

GFWC is made up of 50 state federations, to which local clubs belong. By joining a local women’s club, clubwomen become members of their state federation, which conveys membership in GFWC.
The California Federation of Women's Clubs is a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs International, chartered in 1901 by the UnitedStates Congress. GFWC organized in 1890 with 61 charter clubs, is the world's largest and oldest women's volunteer organization with over 100,000 members in 3,000 clubs across the United States, with hundreds of members in countries around the world.
Reflecting the GFWC motto, Unity in Diversity, there is considerable diversity in age, interest and experience of members.
GFWC and its members raised nearly $64 million on behalf of more than 300,000 projects, and volunteered more than 10 million hours.
This salad is quite versatile with the base. You can use mixed greens, kale, arugula or spinach as seen here. Dark leafy greens are a great replacement to lettuce, being that they are more nutrient dense. Dark leafy greens are important for skin, hair, and bone health. They’re loaded with nutrients and low in calories. I threw in dried cranberries and pomegranates for a touch of added sweetness against the crisp spinach and smooth, earthy garbanzo beans. Feel free to add lean proteins to this dish to create a meal that is more hearty rather than a side dish.
Combine spinach, garbanzo beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, dried cranberries, pomegranate seeds, and scallions in a bowl.
Combine tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, honey and whisk together well.
Add za’taar and salt to taste. Mix well.

As yogis, we are students. Not just students of the asanas but also students of the mind, of the body, of the spirit, of the Universe.
— James Allen, "As You Think"
We are students of ourselves. We explore what our external bodies are capable of. As we advance, we explore the darkest corners of our souls — the stuff we’ve buried to survive or to conform. Because we believed vulnerability was weakness and anger and sadness were its ugly step sisters.
Great students don’t need any more than their will, their mind, and a great teacher. But a nice classroom sure doesn’t hurt.
You deserve space. We all deserve to have a sacred space that is only ours — where we can retreat to go within as we study the depths of our soul.
I’m fortunate at this time in my life to have an entire room. There’s no furniture except my zafu and yoga props. When I step in that room all the weight from the outside world seems to wash away and I am able to focus on my studies.
I realize it’s a privilege to have this room. Someday I will sacrifice this space for a wee one but I will still reserve space. You don’t have to have an entire room.
It could be a nook in your attic.
A corner in your office or bedroom where you can set up an altar.
A special area in your garden that’s just for you.
So let’s talk about this space you’re creating. It’s yours, and the rules are yours to make. However, here are some “rules” that I keep when it comes to my space for inspiration.
You could fill it with candles, flowers, crosses, Buddhas or photos. You could fill it with nothing, making it a crisp and clean space to help you declutter your mind. Make it look, feel, sound and smell “right" to you. Consider your intention for the space and design around that. But also trust your intuition. If a little puppy figurine is really speaking to you, put it in your space. It doesn’t have to make sense to others to make sense to you.
Space has as much power as you give it. I hold a high respect for my space. This is a spiritual place. Whether you practice meditation or prayer or both, you are filling your space with alllllll the good vibes. Honor that power. Which leads me to the next “rule."
My house isn’t always clean. (Gasp!) But I keep my sacred space — the “yoga room” — clean. Because if it’s not clean, it’s distracting and can be stressful instead of spiritual.
Again, your space is as powerful as you make it. If you don’t use it, it loses its power. It’s like an empty church. An empty church might be beautiful, but if it’s not being used for congregation, worship and prayer, it’s just a beautiful empty building.
