answers2:i didn't write it or anything. i just like to seewhat people
think about it. it's from a bookcalled perks of being a wallflower.
read it!Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lineshe wrote a
poemAnd he called it "Chops"because that was the name of his dogAnd
that's what it was all aboutAnd his teacher gave him an Aand a gold
starAnd his mother hung it on the kitchen doorand read it to his
auntsThat was the year that Father Tracytook all the kids to the
zooAnd he let them sing on the busAnd his little sister was bornwith
tiny toenails and no hairAnd his mother and father kissed a lotAnd the
girl around the corner sent him avalentine signed with a row of X'sand
he had to ask his father what the X's meantAnd his father always
tucked him in bed at nightAnd was always there to do itOnce on a piece
of white paper with blue lineshe wrote a poemAnd he called it
"Autumn"because that was the name of the seasonAnd that's what it was
all aboutAnd his teacher gave him an Aand asked him to write more
clearlyAnd his mother never hung it on the kitchen doorbecause of its
new paintAnd the kids told himthat Father Tracy smoked cigarsAnd left
butts on the pewsAnd sometimes they would burn holesThat was the year
his sister got glasseswith thick lenses and black framesAnd the girl
around the corner laughedwhen he asked her to go see Santa ClausAnd
the kids told him whyhis mother and father kissed a lotAnd his father
never tucked him in bed at nightAnd his father got madwhen he cried
for him to do it.Once on a paper torn from his notebookhe wrote a
poemAnd he called it "Innocence: A Question"because that was the
question about his girlAnd that's what it was all aboutAnd his
professor gave him an Aand a strange steady lookAnd his mother never
hung it on the kitchen doorbecause he never showed herThat was the
year that Father Tracy diedAnd he forgot how the endof the Apostle's
Creed wentAnd he caught his sister making out on the back porchAnd his
mother and father never kissedor even talkedAnd the girl around the
cornerwore too much makeupThat made him cough when he kissed herbut he
kissed her anywaybecause that was the thing to doAnd at three A.M. he
tucked himself into bedhis father snoring soundlyThat's why on the
back of a brown paper baghe tried another poemAnd he called it
"Absolutely Nothing"Because that's what it was really all aboutAnd he
gave himself an Aand a slash on each damned wristAnd he hung it on the
bathroom doorbecause this time he didn't thinkhe could reach the
kitchen....Show more
answers3:I'm also a technical writer by profession. I'm majoring in
Writing and Literature (English major), which gives me various writing
skills. I can work by day as a technical writer with an insurance
company, and if I wanted to write a novel I could do so in my own
time, without going broke.It really depends on the book; Some make
millions of dollars, others actually end up paying out money. I have
quite a few professors who are published, and not one of them has made
enough money to quit their teaching jobs! :-)...Show more

answers13:It depends on how well your work sales.
answers14:Is it good? No. But if you need my approval or praise in
order to write, you're not made of the right stuff to be a writer
anyway. Let me ask you a question: Did you simply fire this off and
share it without proofreading it, editing it, revising it, refining it
and then rewriting it? Because it certainly looks that way. If you
want to build confidence in yourself and your writing ability, then
craft pieces that you yourself can be proud of. Part of that means
taking the time and effort to perfect and streamline everything you
produce before soliciting opinions on it. Be your own worst critic,
then you'll see real development. Like most of the askers here, you'll
most likely opt to select an answer from someone who goes in for
paying you lip service and telling you that your piece is grand as the
best one. If you do, ask yourself what the point was in posting this
in the first place....Show more

answers16:Publishers will usually give the writer a small advance,
perhaps 3 to 5 thousand, upon signing the contract. Then they'll keep
all the sales until they get paid back and start turning a profit. If
and when profit actually starts happening, you'll get about 40-50% of
that. Most writers never see more than the sign-on bonus for their
first book. Although 3 grand might sound like a lot, if you break down
the total time you spent writing, polishing, and working out the
contract, it usually doesn't even make minimum wage. So plan to take a
loss on your first book. Then write a new book that's even better, go
to an even bigger company with proof that you've been published
before, and hope for a better contract. The bigger publishers will
have more ability to get your book in more places and make more
publicity. That's when you start making real money....Show more

answers23:There is no true average. The amount made depends on a lot
of things - genre (some pay more, some pay less), popularity of the
topic, previous sales record of the author, market demand, etc.Some
genres pay as little as $2500 (a few pay only half of that), and a few
genres pay as much as $25,000 (if the market conditions are "ripe").
Advances are based on the minimal expected sales. If you sell more
than that, the advance "earns out" and you start getting royalties
(which can be 75 cents to 3 dollars per copy sold, depending on your
contract and book format). The "average" advance for a new author in
the genre I write for is about $8,000.If it takes you a year to write,
edit, and polish your manuscript, four months to find an agent, two
months to sell the work to an editor, and (on average) a year to get
published and into stores, then you have worked 30 months for your
advance. Working at McDonalds could actually pay better (they pay
above minimum wage here, plus overtime).25,000 advance if you're lucky
/ 30 months = 833 per monthI saw an industry average given as $46,000,
but that includes all genres (where payout is not equal), the few
authors that make millions on a few books (so the results are skewed).
Take those authors out and you're really looking at less than half of
that, which still includes authors with dozens of books in print for
years (which also skews the results). There is no true
average....Show more
answers24:it actually depends on how good the book is and how good the

answers29:If you want to be an author then just write and don't even
think about money. Writers don't make a lot of money unless by some
small chance they do manage to sell many copies of their novel or
become technical writers or copywriters (like myself and I am still
not making much).
answers30:It depends on how many copies of the book the publisher
sells. The author gets the money, and their agent also gets a
percentage of it. It all varies on the contract you sign with your
publisher and agent.Uhm, good luck with that MANUSCRIPT ....Show more

Do you think books will become obsolete?

answers1:Who knows?But the microwave didn't make cooking obsolete.
answers2:No, that would suck.
answers3:It's a possibility. But you have to pay like 3 dollars more
to download the books on Kindle than you'd pay buying them at a store,
so it's not really worth it right now. Maybe if they brought down the
price to download. I mean, honestly, it takes WAY less money to
distribute books electronically, so why charge MORE?
answers4:Nope :)Books will NEVER become obsolete

COMMENT FAIRE FONDRE LE NUTELLA

COMMENT FAIRE FONDRE LE NUTELLA

Si vous souhaitez utiliser la tartinade Nutella dans une recette ou sur votre pain grillé du matin, vous devrez la ramollir pour la sortir du pot. Vous pouvez faire fondre rapidement le Nutella en le ramassant dans un bol et en le passant doucement au micro-ondes. Ou si vous voulez faire fondre une plus grande quantité, mettez simplement le pot de Nutella dans un bol d'eau chaude. Si vous n'avez besoin que d'un peu de Nutella pour le tartiner, chauffez un couteau ou une cuillère en métal et utilisez-le pour gratter le Nutella ramolli.

Remuez le Nutella et faites-le cuire au micro-ondes pendant 15 secondes de plus. Ouvrir le micro-ondes et remuer le Nutella avec une cuillère en métal ou en bois. Cela l'aidera à fondre uniformément. Cuire le Nutella au micro-ondes pendant 15 secondes de plus.

Chauffer un couteau ou une cuillère en métal sous l'eau chaude. Si vous n'avez besoin que d'un peu de Nutella pour fondre ou ramollir, sortez un couteau ou une cuillère à beurre. Faire couler de l'eau chaude dans une tasse et mettre la cuillère ou le couteau dans l'eau chaude. Laisser reposer dans la tasse pendant environ une minute. Cela va réchauffer le métal.

Verser le Nutella dans un bol. Déterminez la quantité de Nutella que vous devez faire fondre, surtout si vous l'utilisez pour une recette. Verser le Nutella dur dans un bol ou un plat allant au micro-ondes.

Verser l'eau bouillante dans un bol. Sortez un bol à l'épreuve de la chaleur et versez soigneusement assez d'eau chaude pour remplir le bol à moitié. Évitez de verser trop d'eau, sinon elle débordera sur le côté du bol lorsque vous ajouterez le Nutella.

Étendre le Nutella jusqu'à ce qu'il fonde. Retirer le couteau ou la cuillère à beurre de l'eau chaude, du café ou du thé. Essuyez-le rapidement sur un chiffon propre pour ne pas mettre d'eau dans votre pot de Nutella. Grattez autant de Nutella que vous en avez besoin et étalez-le sur tout ce que vous utilisez. Continuez à étaler le Nutella jusqu'à ce que la chaleur du couteau ou de la cuillère le fasse fondre.

Cuire le Nutella au micro-ondes pendant 15 secondes. Réglez votre four à micro-ondes sur le réglage moyen-bas. Placer le bol découvert de Nutella au micro-ondes et chauffer pendant 15 secondes.

Ramollir et remuer le Nutella. Laisser reposer le Nutella dans l'eau chaude pendant environ 5 minutes. Remuez le Nutella avec une cuillère en bois ou en métal et retirez le pot de l'eau s'il est fondu. Sinon, laissez le Nutella reposer dans l'eau chaude jusqu'à ce qu'il soit fondu.

Envisagez de chauffer le couteau ou la cuillère dans votre café ou votre thé. Certaines personnes trouvent qu'elles prennent toujours du café ou du thé avec leur toast et leur Nutella. Pour un raccourci, vous pouvez simplement mettre votre cuillère ou votre couteau à beurre directement dans votre café ou votre thé. Laissez-le là-dedans pendant une minute pour réchauffer le métal.

Remuez le Nutella et vérifiez la consistance. Remuez de nouveau le Nutella pour voir s'il a fondu ou s'il y a encore des touffes épaisses. Continuer de cuire le Nutella au micro-ondes toutes les 15 secondes jusqu'à ce qu'il soit fondu.

Porter à ébullition une casserole d'eau. Remplissez une bouilloire et mettez-la à feu vif. L'eau devrait bouillir en quelques minutes.

Placer le pot de Nutella dans l'eau chaude. Retirer le couvercle du bocal de Nutella et mettre le bocal dans le bol d'eau chaude. Veillez à ce que l'eau ne puisse pas pénétrer dans le pot.

Book report book & serial killers ?

answers1:i won't be in a position to help it, I might desire to

dance via dying and destruction. I bear in mind while i became into at

Legacy" that became into extremely exciting. Horror/ secret, if I bear
