Slumdog Millionaire may be film directed by a British but the whole cast crew and technicians are from India. A R Rahman has got many awards but this might not be his best outcome. India been shown of its bad side, so we should not encourage the movie or it is reality? Tell your comments guys.

Writing Opportunity'

birdiesquill — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 12:32:58 -0500

It's been quiet in here and I'm not sure what people want for resources but thought I'd mention that one steady source of income for me as a freelancer is LoveToKnow. They have all kinds of categories and usually assign articles based on interest. If you might be interested in this kind of writing let me know and I'll tell you more. I've written for them for almost 2 years now and it's a great site.

A Place to Ask Your Promotional Questions'

"Ask Nikki Leigh" - Answering Your Promotional Questions

I've thought it would be fun to be an advice columnist for years. But, I would have to do that under an unknown identity :) Today, it hit me that it might be fun to add a promotional advice column to my Muze's Musings blog. So, I want to extend an invitation to people to send me their questions about writing, publishing and especially promoting. Once I start getting regular questions, I'll feature one or two on my radio show - Book Promo 101 - Write, Publish and Promote. Seems like that could all work together.

So, I invite you to send me your writing, publishing and promoting questions. But, I need to give you give you two warnings -

1 - I reserve the right to chose which ones to answer - and when to answer them
2 - I reserve the right to give you an honest answer - I should mention that I can sometimes be blunt, but I will make every effort to be kind and I will make an effort to make all the answers helpful.

I will leave the comment option on my blog and I invite others to share their thoughts. If the Ask Nikki idea really takes off, I'll move it to another blog. For now, the questions and answers will be posted at www.muzesmusings.blogspot.com and please submit your questions to AskNikkiLeigh@gmail.com That is the address for your questions. I look forward to hearing what people want to learn more about.

Nikki Leigh --- Send questions to ---- AskNikkiLeigh@gmail.com

Hi all,

I'm currently writing an article on accidents that involve a fall in people 65 and older. I've got a couple of stories already, but if anyone has a story they'd like to share let me know! Especially if the people involved are taking prescription meds.
