What is it about Strong women that makes us feel uncomfortable?
BY Reece Pocock
Perhaps we are not as removed from the times when women were thought to be submissive, stayed home had children and looked after their family as we think we are. Maybe Helen Reddy should dust off her vocal cords and bring out a new song. I am a bloody strong woman, instead of just ‘I am woman’.

Getting Ahead in the Freelancing World
BY Margaret Gelbwasser
Whenever I meet young writers, it always amazes me how much they know. And while I’m mostly impressed, part of me is jealous because I only learned in my late 20s what they already know as sophomores in college. I am sure there are others like me (of all ages) who do not know what college courses might help them in their writing careers or what they can do before they graduate to get ahead of the pack. Of course, there are many directions one can take to get a jump start on freelancing, but these are a few I recently discovered.

Realizing What's Important

Coping with the Revise
BY Margaret Gelbwasser
Up until a few years ago, a revised piece meant that I had read it over twice and double-checked grammar and context. Blame it on my high school English teachers. Then, I began working on a novel and realized - wonder of wonders - that so much more is needed to make a creative work flow. Those of you who have long mastered the art of revision may be smirking, but better to learn late than never, right? And on the chance that there are writers still out there that are stuck on how to revise—or those who have revision down to a science but are looking for new ways to approach this subject—I thought I would share some pearls (or cubic zirconia) of wisdom.

Insurgent psychology – why they aren’t trying to win, but why they will!

For Arabs and Muslims their honour or the shaming of themselves and their brethren is something which cannot go unavenged. One must be prepared to die for it.

Psycho-culturally, the U.S. has entered an unwinable and endless war.
