I keep hearing of writing sites shutting shop, leaving unpaid , disgruntled members - and I can't help wondering what went wrong. Is it that the market has become too competitive ? or the founders lack business sense?. Of course,...

I got conflicting answers on this one. I tried searching in google and I found out that not all writers use an Author's Platform. Stephen King and JK Rowling are good examples. But in this day and age there are publishers who...

Robert Turner @Mamerto32 not sure I understand the question then.. if you don't want to put in the effort to write or make the sacrifices why ask the question?

Robert Turner Be careful of what you write. I am in the Philippines at the moment @reaponsiveme for the next few months. The Vietnam header was a tip of the hat to the movie and then rice fields I see out my back door. Very reminiscent of Vietnam.

Robert Turner @Innobae it's a pretty complicated application process. If you need help let me know. I don't think they explain it very well.

Robert Turner Watch Vikings or Rosswell. That should fullfil both criteria. Fantasy and English. If you want a perfect comedy series watch Fawlty Towers, Blackadder or Fools and Horses, for more modern stuff try Catherine Tate.

Robert Turner Probably going to get flamed for this one but with all due respect the whole climate heating up thing and global warming is a load of rubbish. We don't have enough significant data going back far enough to extrapolate our current weather patterns and predict...

Robert Turner @LadyDuck If it were only so simple. Killing for the pure sake of hunting is not acceptable. Whislt people starve and live on the bread line they will always do whatever is necessary. Even dogs are slaughtered and eaten in the Philippines. Nothing however is...

Robert Turner For most of the LGBT community it is. As a Filipina I would love to hear your opinion on the Baklas and wether you think they are born or made that way by their families. For non Tagalog speakers a bakla is a lady boy, men who dress and act like women. May I...

Robert Turner @Mamerto32 if I can give you any advice it's to decide what path you want to follow with your writing. Not everyone is cut out to be Stephen King and not everyone can work a news story properly. Write a few pieces and let someone you trust evaluate your skills...

Robert Turner So my son, now 22 turns out to be gay. We had our suspicions from the age of about four, at least I did. I think men can pick these things up in other males. We are programmed that way. We never raised it and he went through the dating phase as a teenager,...

Robert Turner @responsiveme that's very interesting. Have heard others say the same and it is generally those who I would consider caring and attentive people. You don't want to risk hurting the feelings of anyone so rather avoid the medium completely.

Robert Turner Hi @josie_(3053) Salamat. Kumusta ka? I noticed the wealthy here tend to become obese. It may simply be a social condition where people associate weight with wealth. The west had this problem and it's now done a complete 360 to the point where wealthy people...
