I have just finished watching a video of a preacher for a large church, the name of which I will not mention at this point. A member in the audience asked him his viewpoint on gays and his answers shocked me to the core. I am not...

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...

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,...

Lena Kovadlo @artner What site is that? I joined some time ago a site called Post Loop. You had to do test posts to get approved and then you got rated. After that you had to join forums or sites and comment on them, maybe even do your own posts but not sure on that...

These social media sites should be paying us to post comments. With their places crawling with angry and isolated characters, it is not safe to express yourself here. Try posting innocent comments and someone will find excuse to...

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @artner Thanks. Honestly as a man with a day job it is impossible for me to construct a platform. Writing a story is time consuming enough, and coming up with a web design will surely ruin my social life.

In the isolated places in Cordillera Philippines, the local tribes have distinct way of killing their animals. You might be surprised how they kill the wild pigs. The barbaric way is to hit the head of the pig until it dies and...

Anna @artner I can understand that some countries are very different from the country where I live. All the animals we kill here for food, must be killed without causing them suffering.
