in my previous post i concentrated on the post - war era because it is the one with which we are most familiar, and in which the phrase

after yesterday tackling a far superior goldsmith effort for crawlspace (1972), i' ve just completed another breakdown for a completely unreleased goldsmith score, this time 1971' s tv movie, do not fold, spindle, or mutilate. it has an interesting approach as 95% of the scoring accompanies the mentally unhinged killer at the center of the story, much of that for his constant internal monologuing. for the most part, the music bows out when he is not directly involved (onscreen, or hearing a phone ring as he is making a call). sort of a

spindles (from spinning) have many forms and uses. stephen lubar describes their typical use thus:'
spindle
is the word that most confuses people today. spindling is an old filing system; a clerk would have a spindle, an upright spike on his or her desk, and would impale each piece of paper on it as he or she finished with it. when the spindle was full, you' d run a piece of string through the holes, tie up the bundle, and ship it off to the archives. (the custom still survives in some restaurants; the cashier spindles the bills as customers pay .)'

stop glaring at me. it’s true: funny anecdotes do not always funny prose make. nor do hilarious real - life incidents. also, verbal anecdotes are seldom redolent with character development, if you catch my drift. caricature works beautifully there, but on the page, motivation becomes far more important. not to mention backdrop and context .

just so you know, writers of the real: that’s not what’s being asked here. the inquisition is not breaking out the thumbscrews, demanding a confession. not at a cocktail party, not at a writers’ conference, and certainly not when anyone that might conceivably be able to help you get your memoir published brings it up .
this is not, as the appellees' brief seems to contend, a case about the wisdom, utility or rationality of the itar as a whole, or about the regulation of cryptographic products under the itar. this is a specific case about a specific regulatory decision. it is that decision, not some general policy, that must be viewed critically and evaluated against the applicable legal standard. the appellees' argument is as if the facts in o' brien had been that the selective service system permitted draft registrants to
fold, spindle and mutilate
their draft cards in protest against the vietnam war, but had drawn the line at using a match instead of scissors to express their anti - war sentiments. we submit that on these undisputed facts of this case, the asserted governmental interest does not justify the regulation. if the executive officials genuinely contend that this diskette poses such a different threat from that created by the dissemination of the book itself, let them prove that contention in a forum where it can be tested, not through judicial reliance on untested assertions of their counsel .

while amusing real - life incidents often translate well directly to the visually - oriented worlds of film and tv, they do not always work equally well on the pages of a book .
it also tends to reward writers who take the time to learn the ropes. by selecting the contests that meet your current needs, rather than entering blindly or with an all - or - nothing attitude, you can greatly increase the probability that entering will do you good .
but all you need do to observe this revival in action is look at the bookshelves in your local shop or channel surf. witches, hauntings, and all things paranormal are back in fashion .
it’s also true, though, that any contest credential (or, to a lesser extent, publication credit) for a short piece or poem tends not to impress millicent the agency screener as much as than winning or publishing a longer piece. in general, the adulation is substantially greater for winners of categories rewarding entire books .

in most cases, we used ‘meta: giveoverview’ to code theoretical or historical introductions to dh itself, though any explicit mention of theory was coded (or also coded) as ‘theorizing’. we found that all dh programs, whether in program descriptions or required courses, included some mention of theory or historical / systematic overview (see figure 8) .

imaging refers to the capture of texts, images, artefacts or spatial formations using optical means of capture. imaging can be made in 2d or 3d, using various means (light, laser, infrared, ultrasound). imaging usually does not lead to the identification of discrete semantic or structural units in the data, such as words or musical notes, which is something datarecognition accomplishes. imaging also includes scanning and digital photography .

kass (on behalf of misterio press): let’s start with a somewhat open - ended, “tell us about yourself” question. what two or three things do you feel people need to know in order to understand who you are ?
in our opening brief, we argued that the district judge erred in concluding that any of the questions raised were
political questions
which should not be decided because they touch on issues of national security. (appellant' s brief at 6 - 13) the appellees do not argue that any of the issues raised here are non - justiciable. we also argued that judge richey erred in raising, sua sponte, an issue of standing in declining to rule on mr. karn' s facial challenge under the first amendment to the itar regulations. (appellant' s br. at 36 - 37) again the executive officials do not take issue with our position and do not attempt to defend that aspect of judge richey' s ruling .
you said you enjoy doing research. what’s the oddest or most interesting thing you’ve ever researched ?
on a few words about the virtues of continuity, or, so long, mr. b
or 15, or 50, or whatever length the requesting agent / contest rules / submission guidelines indicated. which, from a professional reader’s perspective, is a pretty insulting assumption: honestly, someone who handles manuscripts for a living or has judged more than a single contest entry would have to be awfully unobservant to think that. no one who asks for 10 pages expects a ten - page scene; they want to see if you can write. if an agent or contest wants to read an entire chapter or manuscript, it will ask for it point - blank .
trust me, that’s not something you want to find out after you’ve already printed out your submission — or when you are right on top of a deadline. if you’re in doubt about the internal size of a flattened - out box (as they tend to be at the post office), fold it into box shape and try placing a standard sheet of paper flat on the bottom. if it doesn’t lie completely flat, choose a larger box .
:: :: :: i am interested in this use of the word' spindle'. if i understand you correctly, this device is what i would know as a' spike'. this side of the atlantic the spike was used not for items pending, but for those which were rejected; specifically in the world of journalism: editors would impale substandard or otherwise unused copy on the spike - hence a story being' spiked' .
do bear in mind, though, that for either a query or submission packet, you want to have your pages arrive looking fresh and unbent. double - check that your manuscript will fit comfortably in its container in such a way that the pages are unlikely to wrinkle, crease, or — perish the thought! — tear .

realistically, publishing houses do not acquire books simply because someone went to the trouble to write them. nor, contrary to pervasive speculation amongst aspiring writers, will readers pick up a book simply because somebody happened to write it .
actually, in this instance, you should send only the first 50 pages even if they do not end in a period. even if the designated last page ends mid - sentence, stop there. when an agent or editor asks for a specific number of pages, send that number of pages — no more, no less .

naturally, marketability is not the primary orientation of every writing contest that accepts book - length work (or portions thereof), but it weighs heavily in the scoring more often than not. there’s a pretty good reason for that, too: it’s not unusual for the final judges of a contest to be the exact same agents and editors who appear at the attached conference .
oh, you wanted a long answer, too? here goes: the norm of swift judgments means that it’s not reasonable to expect your work to be evaluated as a whole, at least not at first. if the opening of the manuscript or book proposal does not grab millicent, it’s safe to assume that she will not read on. so if you have limited revision time at your disposal, it’s smart strategy to concentrate on the first 50 pages of your manuscript — the usual initial request from an agent — or, in a pinch, the first 5 .
because books are not toasters. we don’t just buy one every few years. they are more like clothes. (or for some of us, food !) we need a sustainable supply .
and half of you are once again rolling your eyes. “talk about the improbable made possible! ” you hoot. “this could not possibly be common in contest entries or submissions to agencies! ”
yes, even in otherwise well - written entries. and that’s over and above the problems any given entry might encounter by not being written in the contest’s preferred style, voice, or genre .
that, too, has serious implications for revision. it’s not at all difficult to picture a new york - based editor furiously scribbling in uncle charles’ margins. “which was it — the best of times or the worst of times? it could hardly have been both; it’s the author’s job to show us, not the reader’s job to guess. commit to one or the other! ”

of course, we all expected her to do both: that’s what career writers do. but she seemed to feel that she had paid her dues, and now was entitled to coast. which would have made more sense, i’ve got to say, had her first book sold particularly well, or if the proposal for the next were anywhere near as strong as the first. i wish i could say that i believed she had put a quarter of the energy into it that she’s evidently focused upon serving me with ultimatums about how i need to do more for her .
and if you doubt that — and i sense that some of you do — please, for my sake, consider two more things. first, do you recall that irate author i talked about at the beginning of the post, the one that glanced at my feedback, raced to his computer, and shot off an e - mail in the first throes of injured ego? he thought i was telling him to do the precise opposite of what i actually advised .
well, if the book honestly does contain elements that would render it less marketable, and those elements are not so critical to the story arc or nf argument that they did not trigger rejection all by themselves, this writer is probably right: it would be a good agent’s job to advise him how to maximize the book’s marketability. writers do, after all, seek out agents because of the latter’s expertise in selling books to publishing houses, right ?

i see this as a minor convenience for the gm, not something that adventures desperately need .
well - meaning folks sometimes say, “well, look at what others are dealing with? they have it much worse. ” sure one can usually find those whose life challenges are far worse than one’s own. but comparing one’s own pain to others is not mentally healthy, believe it or not .
like, say, diane. i think that grace was doing her a favor, actually: most memoir readers would be more critical than she of a memoir that got bogged down in mundanties. when is it better for a writer to hear a hard truth like that, do you think — early enough in the publication process that she can do something about it, or after the book comes out, in the online reviews ?

which is why it’s vital that you know up front: it’s not all that uncommon for publishers to expect their authors to pay for that copy aunt marge expects you to hand her, signed. yes, you can usually buy them at a substantial discount, but do be aware that any copies you buy that way will not count toward the book’s sales totals .
misaligned expectations, i’m afraid: dewey just didn’t understand what his role in their relationship would be, other than writing. because that was what he was prepared to do, he got antsy every time he didn’t have an assignment on his plate; he didn’t have a constructive outlet for all of that nervous energy. so he focused it on prodding paulette into a job that she already knew perfectly well how to do — which, in turn, took up enough of her time and energy that she felt, not unreasonably, that his demands were making it harder for her to do that job .

“i’m at the point in my research where i have enough information to satisfy the requirements for this project. i now have to figure out which information is relevant and which is not, what information should go into the presentation? do we pick information that just covers the surface of all of our research or do we choose to be more specific and go into depth on one topic? i find all the information important and interesting, so how do i pick? i’m going to look at the most reoccurring themes and terms. organize the content by those subjects and use that in the presentation. my reasoning behind this, is if this the more popular content among different sources than this must be what is more important. ”

why especially? well, what is funny in real life is often not amusing on the page, at least not to someone who was not privy to the actual event. there’s a reason, after all, that “you had to be there, i guess, ” is so commonly uttered by anecdotalists the world over: real - life funny often arises from mishaps, actions out of character, or events whose comic juxtapositions would be entirely lost upon a bystander who is not already intimately familiar with the players and their respective situations .
oh, dear. here comes another bubble. there’s a reason one so seldom hears this platitude falling from the lips of agents and editors at conferences anymore: it’s no longer true. good writing most emphatically does not always find a home — not at an agency, and certainly not at a publishing house .
a method which aims to relate a number of elements or ideas into a coherent system based on some general principles and capable of explaining relevant phenomena or observations. theorizing relies on techniques such as reasoning, abstract thinking, conceptualizing and defining. a theory may be implemented in the form of a model, or a model may give rise to formulating a theory .
not just writing that’s pretty good, or prose that you think might catch an agent’s eye. or the first 20 pages of a novel that starts to sing by page 62. if the writing you’re planning to submit to a contest doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, cover you in goosebumps, and make you murmur fervent gratitude to the deity of your choice that you were privileged to write it, it does not belong in an entry .
an excellent question, jen: many, many aspiring writers worry that a simple manila envelope, or even the heavier - duty priority mail envelope favored by the us postal service, will not preserve their precious pages in pristine condition. especially, as is all too common, if those pages are crammed into an envelope or container too small to hold them comfortably, or that smashes the sase into them so hard that it leaves an indelible imprint in the paper .

we characterized students’ journal pacing quality as excellent, good, fair, or poor. excellent pacing described journals with posts spread evenly throughout the project. good pacing described journals with posts occurring every week of the project, but with some posts closely grouped on consecutive days or even on the same day. fair pacing denoted journals with some posts closely grouped on consecutive days or the same days and some multi - day or week - long stretches with no posts. poor pacing referred to journals with posts primarily grouped on just a few consecutive days or the same days and no posts for long stretches of time .
not ones who do not already know the author personally, at any rate. and while i hate to raise any doubt in your mind about your aunt marge’s support of your writing aspirations, but don’t count on her being willing to buy your book when it is published. kith and kin have an understandable but nasty habit of expecting the author they love to provide them with free copies .
secondly, i do have a lot of other interests, from knitting to designing my dream house to singing in my church choir. when i was younger and fitter, i led a renaissance dance troupe for a couple of years. so i’m a nerd but not a narrow nerd .
translation: “but it made my friend / significant other / bus driver laugh out loud! ” is not a reliable indicator of whether mehitabel the veteran contest judge or millicent the agency screener will find something funny on the manuscript page .
out comes the road map again: if there isn’t an arresting image, great twist, or lovely sentence on page 1, even in a book - length entry, it’s probably not going to end up in the finalist pile .
taken together, these two accounts form quite a sad little story, do they not? huey was lucky enough to find an agent (and a millicent) genuinely taken by his book concept — but he was not ready to take advantage of it. while montrose’s conclusion that huey just hadn’t done enough homework about how nonfiction is sold might not have been entirely correct, it’s hard to argue that the effect of the writer’s not having taken the necessary steps to learn how to write a book proposal amounted to the same thing, in practical terms. yet montrose did, by his lights, do all he could to help, and rather more than most would have done in this situation: being a good memoir agent, realized that proposal - writing is a professional skill, and thus not something even the most gifted memoirist is born knowing, so he provided his potential client with both encouragement and guidelines .
i hate to break it to you, but either way, an over - sender deliberately disregards a request for a specific number of pages. that’s not only difficult, from the recipient’s perspective; that’s rude. not only does including the extra pages imply an expectation that the agent, millicent, or contest judge will make time to read them, but also — you might want to sit down for this one — a belief that the person requesting that number of pages just didn’t understand that not every manuscript will feature a section or chapter break at the bottom of page 10 .
so if that protagonist is too passive to ask relevant questions the reader wants to know, or not sufficiently nuanced in his worldview to be able to observe in useful detail, or too unpleasant to be good company for a few hundred pages, the reader may feel slightly cheated. yes, even if the plot is very exciting: would you want to go on a tour of a haunted house with a guide that steered you away from the dark corners, did not seem to know much about the house’s history, or declared every fifteen seconds that anyone who believed in ghosts was an idiot ?
5. author bio, if one was requested. an author bio is a one - page (double - spaced) or half - page (single - spaced) plus photo account of the submitting writer’s professional credentials. typically, when an agent submits a manuscript or book proposal to editors, the author bio is tucked immediately at the end of the manuscript or sample chapter .

surprised not to see a post on formatting occupying this space, campers? you should be: for the past seven years, i have embraced the decline of the old year and the advent of the new as an opportunity to provide the members of the author! author! community with a solid explanation of something that new writers are simply expected to know how to do before they even consider approaching an agent. for some reason that defies human understanding, formatting a book manuscript or proposal as the pros do is implicitly regarded as piece of practical know - how the literature fairy bestows on talented writers at birth .
in your queries and pitches, stick to the information that millicent actually needs in order to decide whether to request pages. as submitting writers are all too prone to forget, publishing is a business, not an art form — agents and editors acquire books they believe are marketable, not just ones they believe are well - written. and as i have mentioned several hundred times before, they do not — contrary to the hope of most submitting writers — read the entire submission before making up their minds on either point.
