Book Description
.This book is a collection of stories told by so many of you, anonymously, with most having prose written by me in response to the stories. Some will have open space for you to lay your story, or to simply vent. Blank pages to express yourself. An positive affirmations, heartache, lots of old pain, and current healing. We all are at different parts of our lives, so many might touch different stories than others, or all might be out your range, but you will still love this collection. This book is full of life. It's full of every emotion. It's full of secrets from people who can't confront themselves or others with such confidence because we don't want to hurt or have hurt inflicted upon us. It's a book for all of us. It's a journey. Hearing different stories from many different souls is very inspiring to keep moving forward and creating what you've always prayed to behold. I love this collection so much. I can't wait to share it with all of you. I count down the days until you all get to be a part of this. Thank you for all the ones who chose to be apart of this, I thank you for your stories and your bravery to share your deepest secrets. I thank you for trusting me with something that's so close to your heart. I pray you're all somewhere beautiful now, or in the process to being. And to all the ones who didn't get to share, or couldn't bring yourself to it, I'm praying for you too, and hope you find the strength when you read this, and share a piece of you in there too. Thank you for being apart of something so meaningful to me.

Astronomers Anonymous
Author: Steve Ringwood
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441958177
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
During more than four decades of involvement in amateur astronomy, I have enjoyed the privilege of rubbing shoulders with numberless amateur and professional astr- omers. In so doing I have encountered at first, second, and third hand many of the joys and pitfalls that sky watchers can experience in pursuit of the universe’s wonders. I have often howled at tall tales that would not disgrace a pirate’s tavern. Many of these astounding stories have become the kernels of my Dear Steve column items. Learning how to operate the technology for observing and imaging the universe is work enough for any aspiring astronomer; however, many have problems of their own making. Not only do they share these troubles with other astronomers, they are on the receiving end of colleagues and friends doing the same. With all these agonized communications flying about, it is hard to understand how anyone gets any real work done! For the amusement of my peers I have long fondly parodied these imagined literary exchanges. These fantasy ‘‘Agony Aunt’’ questions began appearing in the pages of the Loughton Astronomical Society’s monthly (and Christmas Special) journals about 30 years ago, in the guise of The astronomer’s problem page. This was by the kind indulgence of the then editor, namely myself. Happily, even when the magazine of the LAS evolved into something much better, under the tender and loving care of those who came after me, these problem letters were still in demand and even now occasionally appear.

The Subversive Copy Editor
Author: Carol Fisher Saller
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226734102
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Each year writers and editors submit over three thousand grammar and style questions to the Q&A page at The Chicago Manual of Style Online. Some are arcane, some simply hilarious—and one editor, Carol Fisher Saller, reads every single one of them. All too often she notes a classic author-editor standoff, wherein both parties refuse to compromise on the "rights" and "wrongs" of prose styling: "This author is giving me a fit." "I wish that I could just DEMAND the use of the serial comma at all times." "My author wants his preface to come at the end of the book. This just seems ridiculous to me. I mean, it’s not a post-face." In The Subversive Copy Editor, Saller casts aside this adversarial view and suggests new strategies for keeping the peace. Emphasizing habits of carefulness, transparency, and flexibility, she shows copy editors how to build an environment of trust and cooperation. One chapter takes on the difficult author; another speaks to writers themselves. Throughout, the focus is on serving the reader, even if it means breaking "rules" along the way. Saller’s own foibles and misadventures provide ample material: "I mess up all the time," she confesses. "It’s how I know things." Writers, Saller acknowledges, are only half the challenge, as copy editors can also make trouble for themselves. (Does any other book have an index entry that says "terrorists. See copy editors"?) The book includes helpful sections on e-mail etiquette, work-flow management, prioritizing, and organizing computer files. One chapter even addresses the special concerns of freelance editors. Saller’s emphasis on negotiation and flexibility will surprise many copy editors who have absorbed, along with the dos and don’ts of their stylebooks, an attitude that their way is the right way. In encouraging copy editors to banish their ignorance and disorganization, insecurities and compulsions, the Chicago Q&A presents itself as a kind of alter ego to the comparatively staid Manual of Style. In The Subversive Copy Editor, Saller continues her mission with audacity and good humor.
