Coca Cola Has Been Very Successful  at Transmitting The Same Message Over And Over Again To Create A

Coca Cola has been very successful  at transmitting the same message over and over again to create a brand of its own. A brand that tells a story: There is always happiness, there are dreams, there is love, there is hope, peace, kindness, laughter, generosity, magic scenes. Coca Cola uses also  a Christmas time to promote those stories. No need to tell Santa Claus is part of those stories.

Las Mil y Una Noches con Ms Beautiful

Las casas, tienen los aromas y los aires, de los dos que la construyen

En un pasaje del rio, un hombre corre fuertemente, y zigzagueando mira constantemente hacia atrás para checar si era perseguido. Chocaba a veces con barandales de rendijas que protegían de caídas al rio, o bien, con arbustos que delineaban las acercas del Río. “Disculpe! discúlpe” decía a quienes propulsaba con su movimiento y no queriendo que cayeran,  les tomaba los hombros para sostenerlos de caer al suelo por la inercia de su rápido caminar.

Se nota agitado, todavía perlas de sudor exudan por su cuerpo, y mira constantemente hacia atrás para cerciorarse de no ser visto , mienntras sostiene frenéticamente un libro entre sus manos.

Mas adelante, un poco más allá, una nińa observa un bote turístico que pasa por el río, y repentinamente siente que algo la impulsa con violencia por la rapidez del momento, el hombre cae al suelo, haciendo pasar el acto como natural, y un cuaderno vuela por los aires y cae al piso. El hombre y la nińa están en el piso, y tras expresar una disculpa, alcanza a proferir una palabras a la menor.  El hombre se levanta repentinamente y sigue corriendo tras la laderas peraltadas del Río, mientras la mamá observó lo sucedido desde lejos, y corre en auxilio de su hija.

Estás bien?, pregunta la mamá cuando llega a su auxilio, tratando de limpiarle el pasto pegado a sus ropas, y profiriendo improperios contra el hombre que había arrojado a su hija al suelo. 

Si mami, gracias, contesta la menor consternada, tratando de entender qué había pasado, mientras contempla el libro tirado en el suelo, y tras extender su mano lo agarra y dice “mira mami, se le olvidó recoger este cuaderno con la prisa”.

La mamá lo toma, y era una cuaderno de crucigramas. Hojea cada una de las páginas, y observa que todos los crucigramas estaban hechos en cada una de las hojas, pero había uno que resalta porque existen unas líneas que faltaban por cubrir.

La mamá mira las líneas en curiosidad,  y una de ellas dice “Cuarta letra del alfabeto”

La segunda dice “segunda letra del alfabeto”

La tercera dice “mineral más preciado en la Tierra, que brilla, y es apreciado por las mujeres en los anillos. Primera letra solamente”.

La cuarta dice “repita la línea primera”

La quinta dice “primera letra del alfabeto”

La sexta dice “letras dada a los plurales”

La séptima dice “cómo se expresa el numero 15 en número romano”

La octava dice “Octavio cumplió 15 _________. Llenar el espacio en blanco, sin la diéresis.

La novena dice “signo lingüístico que sirve para terminar una oración?

La décima dice “tres palabras que se ponen al final de todo negocio en línea, y que empieza con una c”

La úndecima dice “todas estas palabras están en minúsculas y seguido sin espacios”

La duodécima “Cuál es el apellido de la persona a quien adora el emisario y envía una carta?

La decimotercera: “Bienvenida esta es tu casa, creada para tí”.

La decimo cuarta dice: Esto es sólo válido por este día hasta la medianoche”

Décimoquinta: Las casas, tienen los aromas y los aires, de los dos que la construyen

You Inspire Me: To a Partner Who Always Makes Time to Write

You Inspire Me: To A Partner Who Always Makes Time To Write

Writing isn’t as solitary a pursuit as many think. Inspiration comes in many forms, but most often, it comes in the shape of people. All month long, we’re asking writers to write a Not-So-Secret-Admirer’s Note to the people who’ve inspired them to take up the pen. Today, participant Amanda N. Butler writes our final note to her NaNoWriMo supporter and fiancé:

Dear Matt,

A major factor of my exuberant “Yes!” to your proposal is our mutual support of each other. Since Day One, you have supported me through homework, internships, new jobs—and NaNoWriMo! 

One of my favorite memories will always be sitting next to you, frantically scribbling the day’s word count goal (because I like to torture myself with manuscripts in long-hand) as you wrote your play next to me in silent support, stopping only for quick, intermittent kisses. With you and writing being my two passions, I am grateful for this synthesis.

I watch you come home from work every day and still make time to write. In this, you have inspired me to continue writing, no matter what. You support every story pitch and give me a giant hug after every project submitted. Because of you, I am inspired to do something for my writing every day, even if it’s jotting down a note for my works-in-progress.

And for all this, I am eternally grateful. I can’t wait for the rest of our lives.

Your fiancée and not-so-secret admirer,

Amanda

Mi Amiga

Yo tengo una amiga, y suelo disfrutar de su presencia. Mi amiga es especial, como toda buena amiga. Ante sus ojos, sere a veces un amor, otras veces un gato, otras un encanto, otras un safado, otras algo sensacional, otras un operado de la cabeza; u otras mas, la perla de la virgen. Al influjo del enojo y cuando sale fuera de control, esa perspectiva cambia por otra mas locuaz, y soy un imbecil, un estupido, un don nadie, un loco, un sarrapastroso, un gato, y para insultar mas mi intelectualidad "sois mi gato" en un afan de tener un sentido de posesion con el cual jugar, y sentir control. La miro, la observo, dejo que queme todas las toxinas hasta que quede sin mas grasa que quemar, y se apacienta y hecha a llorar. Entonces le pregunto: estas bien? Y prorrumpe en llanto. La abrazo, y le digo "todo estara bien" y se tranquiliza, pidiendo ella disculpas por el exabrupto. Y todo sigue igual! Y asi pasan los dias, y de nuevo vuelven esos dias odiosos, y de nuevo se repiten las historias. Que le vamos a hacer? Es mi amiga, Simplemente mi amiga Y yo soy su amigo Simplemente su amigo.

5 Ways to Make Your Writing Sessions More Productive

1. Set specific goals: Before each writing session, establish clear objectives for what you want to accomplish. This helps you stay focused and motivated throughout the session. Whether it's completing a certain number of pages, reaching a specific word count, or finishing a particular section, having a goal in mind keeps you on track.

2. Create a conducive writing environment: Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can minimize distractions. Eliminate clutter, turn off notifications on your electronic devices, and set up a writing area that inspires creativity. Some people find instrumental music or ambient sounds helpful for concentration, so experiment to find what works best for you.

3. Develop a routine: Establish a regular writing schedule and stick to it. Consistency builds momentum and makes writing sessions feel more like a habit. Whether you prefer to write early in the morning, late at night, or during specific time blocks throughout the day, find a routine that aligns with your energy levels and other commitments.

4. Use productivity techniques: Explore different productivity techniques to enhance your focus and efficiency. One popular method is the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working for a concentrated period (e.g., 25 minutes) followed by a short break (e.g., 5 minutes). Repeat this cycle several times, and then take a longer break (e.g., 15-30 minutes). Other techniques include time blocking, task prioritization, and setting deadlines.

5. Minimize self-editing during the drafting phase: When writing your first draft, try to resist the urge to constantly edit and revise. Instead, focus on getting your ideas down on paper without judgment. This allows for a more continuous flow of thoughts and prevents self-censorship. Save the editing for later drafts, as separating the drafting and editing stages can lead to increased productivity and creativity.

Writing Tips

Story Endings

Importance of the Ending

↣ readers invested their time into your publication ; make it worth it!

↣ the conclusion turns readers into fans

↣ endings should be memorable & satisfying ; this will make the readers want to indulge in more of your work

Choosing Your Ending

↣ know your genre ; different genres can get away with different endings

↣ a thriller novel ending unexpectedly or ambiguously would be more satisfying to readers than a romance novel ending that way ; and vise vera, a romance novel ending emotionally and with happily ever after would be more satisfying than a thriller ending that way

↣ make it unpredictable but fair ; readers should feel like they could have seen it coming

↣ find a happy medium between what your readers want and what is unexpected

↣ be careful with unresolved or ambiguous endings ; regardless of the ending, the readers need to feel satisfied or they won’t come back

↣ be careful with expanded endings ; most editors frown upon relying on epilogues to reach a satisfying resolution

↣ have your ending in mind from the beginning ; this isn’t always plausible, but it’s very helpful — you’ll end up having hints to the resolution you may not even realize, & readers want that

Types of Endings

⤷ ambiguous

→ an ending open to interpretation ; allows readers to come to their own conclusions

⤷ dialogue

→ ending with a quote from one of the characters

⤷ emotional

→ leaving the readers feeling some intense emotion ; negative, positive, or bittersweet

⤷ expanded

→ expands past the events of the narrative to resolve aspects that may not be explained in the main chapters ; usually takes form of an epilogue with a time skip

⤷ happily ever after

→ type of resolved ending where everything works out in the end

⤷ humorous

→ ends with a joke or in an ironic way

⤷ lesson learned

→ ends with clear, profound character development

⤷ reflection

→ ends with characters looking back on their choices, achievements, and experiences

⤷ resolved

→ leaves reader with no questions or loose ends ; all aspects have been clearly & satisfyingly resolved

⤷ tied

→ brings the story full-circle so it ends where it began

⤷ unexpected

→ a twist the readers did not see coming but also makes sense

⤷ unresolved

→ leaves readers with unanswered questions ; usually to lead into the next book

Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.

Cómo presentaríamos este canto en un programa musical?...

La naturaleza humana está siempre envuelta en el amor. Su existencia o su carencia, su llenura o su vacío, su normalidad o complejidad, su egoísmo o apertura, su querer ser o no ser dependiendo del sentimiento que os llene, y cómo el ser humano expresará este sentimiento en líricas que revelan contenidos de amor o ilusiones... Ana Gabriel... Simplemente Amigos.
