The Window Tears
The Words is a movie completely filled with mind boggling twist and turns. It is a story only appealing to certain people.
Wanna be writer Rory finds an old manuscript tucked away somewhere. Deciding to pass it off as his own work and titling it as “The Window Tears,” Rory receives great praise for it. That is until the real writer shows up and his whole world is flipped upside down. Cut to Clay Hammond, a famous writer whose story “The Words,” resembles Rory’s quote closely. This causes speculations that “The Words,” is actually a loose autobiography on Clay’s life.

    Anne Lamott’s “Shitty First Drafts” is an argument and an admission from an industry veteran. A Herculean effort may be necessary for writing because life requires the same strain.

For Lamott, it is okay to have shitty first drafts because those are just a step in the difficult process of writing.…

    Natalie Goldberg is a firm believer in the writing exercise, which is an excellent way to keep in good form. The author, a practicing Zen Buddhist, manages to address most of the problems that sabotage the process itself.

She opens with a chapter labeled, “First Thoughts,” which advocates letting go of all of one’s ego and inhibition. “We must trust in our own process and voice,” she insists.…

They share what they know, they paint pictures with their words that allow their readers to get a glimpse of their lives and in some cases they use what is going on around them to share what they are feeling, or what they are not feeling.

But what about: “You are a very naughty girl. How could you tear your new dress!” crying her mother angrily. These word combinations cause an effect of blazing splashes of champagne and a child begins crying and apologizing but deep inside an angry thing takes offence at the whole world.…

    The theory of the “Broken window fallacy” says that destruction and the costs incurred along with it do not reap any kind of benefits to the economy. If any kind of destruction occurs, there are many parties that are going to be affected, if it’s a natural disaster it would affect the business of the economy and the economy is hit badly. If everything was working on normal pace, the business could have flourished and would have new avenues, but on the event of the destruction all those extra opportunities are lost by the business. Instead, the economy has to invest money into getting the destruction rectifies or repaired. And this destruction not only affects the economy and the country it affects the other intermediaries as well. The theory says that in a way this kind of destruction may help a few but on the whole, it destroys more than it could benefit. And the cost of repairing or rebuilding will be more of a maintenance cost which would be high.…
