#and before I get the well In ThE NovEL I’ve read the novel….a 25 yr old in a T-shirt isn’t weird at all….you all just want to complain

Adaptations

I keep seeing people complain about visual adaptations not being “just like the book,” and while I do understand the frustration — how could any of them be a perfect match for the source material.

Certain aspects HAVE to change when transforming a novel into a live action adaptation (or even an animated one in most cases). Why?

For one, novels typically focus on a single character (or several) closely. It offers insight into their personality, thought process, motivations, etc. without (keyword) showing or saying anything. Characters in books don’t have to say or do anything for readers to get this information because books fill in those gaps.

In contrast, a visual representation HAS to show/tell in some fashion. And as a result, some things are just never going to make it to the screen.

Second, not everything in the source material is necessary to tell the story. I know this is often the hardest thing to accept, but it’s true. Readers tend to have more patience because they are living with characters much more closely (ie. back to point one).

This can work in both ways mind you — for example, most people I know prefer Katniss in the films than in the books. Why? Because you know more about her inner workings in the books.

Thirdly the actors. While they are (obviously) playing a character, those characters inevitably take on attributes of the actor themselves. Why? Because actors make choices and those choices might be based on what they think a character might do, or how they might react, but at the end of the day those decisions are still coming from the actor (and okayed by the director in most cases)

Win punches Team in the novel after he saves him — Boun said he wouldn’t. Why? Because 1) he wasn’t going to pretend to hit Prem and 2) because the Win he’s created would never punch Team.

And none of the above includes the original writer (who often spurs on changes to their live adaptation, making fixes they wished they’d done), the screen writer and editors (who have to make something that’s 300-800 pages into 10-13 episode - or worse… a 3hr movie), nor the director (who has to wrangle everything through both their and the creator’s vision)

Why do I bring all this up?

Because a lot of people continue to complain that “Book Babe would never do that!” “Book Charlie was so much better!!” “Book Thup would never be caught DEAD wearing a graphic T!”

And look, you can not like changes (see my multiple rants about Between Us for reference) but you can’t expect these shows to be word for word reenactments of the novels. That’s impossible, unrealistic, and (frankly) boring as shit.

(If I come back and look at this later and there’s a massive typo again because of auto correct I’m taking an extra long lunch…)

Games variety from "unfastened to down load with top class content," to a flat $1.ninety nine-$4.ninety nine price. On google play, their games have 1-10k downloads, with greater on their other platforms. We use a private backend and a relaxation api to fetch the records for a given profile. To begin, keep in mind the subsequent diagram, which indicates how all of the modules must engage with one another after designing the app: notice that each aspect depends best on the element one stage under it. For example, sports and fragments depend best on a view model.

Mygad what a waste of rapid pass.. they simply expired already, i did not even use them. The_cheese i greater decide on coin.. hmm fast skip is simply too little.. before update, i got from log in -9 coin(can double it with seing ads) this coin can release 3 or 9 bankruptcy.. featured and beneficial critiques are the first to be observed by using customers and in case of no reaction can affect download fee.

11 times J.K. Rowling tweeted awesome advice to budding writers

New Post has been published on https://writingguideto.com/must-see/11-times-j-k-rowling-tweeted-awesome-advice-to-budding-writers-2/

11 times J.K. Rowling tweeted awesome advice to budding writers

J.K. Rowling has got your back.

Image: Samir Hussein/WireImage

Without wanting to sound like too much of a pathetic millennial, writing can be hard work.

It can be, OK?

Particularly if you’re working on something long, like a novel, it’s good to have some support and encouragement every now and again.

SEE ALSO: I tried to write a novel in a month and now I have a publishing offer

J.K. Rowling knows this better than most people. If you head over to the Harry Potter author’s Twitter feed, nestled among all those sweet shutdowns you’ll find plenty of helpful writing tips, as well as stories from Rowling about what it was like for her before she became a household name.

From editing advice to firsthand experiences, here are some of the tips she’s tweeted over the years.

1. The time she gave these awesome words of encouragement to a demotivated writer.

I want to write like @jk_rowling or @StephenKing but it’s too hard for me. I’m demotivated. I’ll never finish my book. pic.twitter.com/5drO1Ki2Kd

— Roi-Sorcier d’Angmar (@_Uruk_Hai_) November 12, 2017

Don’t write me. Write like you. Nobody else can do that. Finish that book x https://t.co/btCK4hSizh

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) November 12, 2017

2. The time she made it clear you don’t necessarily need the best equipment.

What if the passionate writer is broke and can’t afford a MacBook Air? :/

— _Ash_ish_ (@AmAshKnth) August 23, 2016

I wrote first 2 Potters by hand and typed them on a 10 yr old typewriter. All a writer needs is talent & ink. https://t.co/oK30qfcVZK

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 23, 2016

3. This heartfelt message of encouragement.

@jk_rowling You inspired me to write. However, in Egypt, girls can’t do anything freely as boys. They laugh at me when I say I am a writer.

— Hagar El-Saeed (@he_elsaeed) August 15, 2015

Don’t you dare let their laughter extinguish your ambition. Turn it into fuel! Big hugs from one writer to another x https://t.co/w3lYXAosJj

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 15, 2015

4. This advice to a budding writer who lacked parental support.

@jk_rowling My dream is to be a writer, but my parents always say that this is not a worthy profession, what I do to change this?

— t (@newtscamandwr) August 15, 2015

Do what I did: pretend you want to do something else and write on the sly until you’re free to do whatever you want! https://t.co/rgWiQq3H7H

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 15, 2015

5. This crucial rereading tip.

When rereading last week’s work, the trick is to stop for a biscuit just before your blood sugar levels drop to ‘every single word of this is worthless.’

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 22, 2018

6. The time she proved that rejection is just another rung on the ladder.

Not getting down… because this WILL happen. This is just the beginning. @jk_rowling got rejected, I will too! #ItsAllGood #AmWriting

— Dianne J. Brubaker (@diannebee) March 25, 2016

I pinned my 1st rejection letter to my kitchen wall because it gave me something in common with all my fave writers! https://t.co/ZmGNWDdF7x

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 25, 2016

7. And then shared two of her own rejection letters as inspiration.

By popular request, 2 of @RGalbrath‘s rejection letters! (For inspiration, not revenge, so I’ve removed signatures.) pic.twitter.com/vVoc0x6r8W

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 25, 2016

8. The time she made it clear just how far she was prepared to go to get her book published.

I wasn’t going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen. https://t.co/bMKu4zJ3nm

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 25, 2016

9. And then explained what was driving her.

I had nothing to lose and sometimes that makes you brave enough to try. https://t.co/ETEk8lcih1

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 25, 2016

10. The time she replied to this tweet about the importance of completing a writing project.

HEY! YOU! You’re working on something and you’re thinking “Nobody’s gonna watch, read, listen.” Finish it anyway.

— Melanie Dione (@beauty_jackson) April 2, 2017

There were so many times in the early 90s when I needed somebody to say this to me. It’s great advice for many reasons. https://t.co/tiGpAOb4Fh

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) April 3, 2017

Even if it isn’t the piece of work that finds an audience, it will teach you things you could have learned no other way.

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) April 3, 2017

(And by the way, just because it didn’t find an audience, that doesn’t mean it’s bad work.)

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) April 3, 2017

The discipline involved in finishing a piece of creative work is something on which you can truly pride yourself.

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) April 3, 2017

You’ll have turned yourself from somebody who’s ‘thinking of’, who ‘might’, who’s ‘trying’, to someone who DID. And once you’ve done it…

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) April 3, 2017

… you’ll know you can do it again. That is an extraordinarily empowering piece of knowledge. So do not ever quit out of fear of rejection.

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) April 3, 2017

11. And then rounded off a fairly epic series of tweets with this message of hope.

Maybe your third, fourth, fiftieth song/novel/painting will be the one that ‘makes it’, that wins the plaudits…

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) April 3, 2017

… but you’d never have got there without finishing the others (all of which will now be of more interest to your audience.)

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) April 3, 2017

Here endeth today’s sermon and thanks to @beauty_jackson for her original words of wisdom.

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) April 3, 2017

Now go and finish that novel.

8 SLP Approved TV Shows for Kids

Those of you who follow my blog know that I am a big advocate of taking a break before you have a breakdown. Sometimes you have to give your kids an activity so that you can have time to yourself, and sometimes that activity comes in the form of a television show. Parents, you will not beat yourself up for putting your kid in front of the TV (or iPad) for a little while. That stops today. Below is a list of 8 speech therapist approved children’s shows that are currently on air, on DVD or on the internet. My seal of approval means that the show teaches functional speech and/or language skills, uses highly researched curriculum as the basis for each episode, and is engaging.  Many of these shows may not be new to you, but my list will help you understand how these programs teach your child, and you’ll feel better about letting them watch an extra episode :) I’ve provided a reference for each show listed so you can read a bit more about how the program was created.

Take a look at the list, DVR the ones you think your kid would like then take some much deserved, guilt-free you time. Enjoy!

1. Barney Barney is a classic children’s television show, and although it looks like a typical children’s entertainment program, it provides so much more. Barney addresses the four key areas of childhood development; cognitive, social, emotional, and physical. Barney used a team of early childhood specialists to make sure that each episode was presented in a way that allows your child to learn at their optimal level. According to researchers at Yale, “the show particularly influences language development, one of the early indicators of future success in school…” Unfortunately, Barney is no longer on air, however you can let your little one watch him on Youtube or purchase the DVD online. Reference: http://pbskids.org/barney//pareduc/parents/philosophy.html Episode run time: approx. 25 min (however there are lots of specials that run for 45 minutes to 1 hr) Where to find: Youtube,  Amazon.com, Netflix Recommended Age: 1-8 yrs

2. Sesame Street Another classic children’s television show, Sesame Street develops a child’s early language and literacy skills through their “whole-child curriculum” which is researched by in-house child psychologists, educators and educational advisors. Sesame Street provides the repetition of language that helps children remember and use new vocabulary. It’s also incredibly engaging, so kids don’t even realize that they’re learning. If you’re already a fan of this program, then this is just one more reason to trust that you are doing something good for your child while they are watching an episode. Reference: http://www.pbs.org/parents/sesame/about/learning-goals/  (there is so much research available on the sesame street curriculum, I chose this one for the blog because it’s the most concise.) Episode run time: 60 minutes Where to find: PBS  weekdays @ 5:00am; 10:00am; 6:30pm Recommended Ages: Preschool

3. Super Why Super Why is a newer program with a focus on literacy so there are tons of new words for kids to learn along with fun spelling songs, all while also targeting story comprehension. Each episode begins with a problem that must be solved by reading a children’s book. While the characters go through the story, kids are encouraged to interact by shouting out names of letters and words. The show uses guidelines established by the National Reading Panel to structure episodes and be sure that tiny viewers are learning at all times. Although I wish they were more specific about who they consult for their educational research (they only state that they use a “panel of experts”), I have watched the show and feel that it lives up to its goal of helping children learn pre-literacy skills. Reference: http://www.pbs.org/parents/superwhy/program/philosophy.html Episode run time: approx. 25 minutes Where to find: PBS  (usually channel 13) weekdays @ 3:00 and 3:30 Recommended Ages: 3-6 years

4. Dora the Explorer Dora the Explorer has been around since 2000.  It’s a show that is both entertaining and saturated with ways to learn new vocabulary (repetition, audience participation, explanations…). Each episode is thoroughly researched and based on a preschool curriculum created by the Dora research and development team. The Dora curriculum was created using the Howard Gardener multiple intelligences theory. Also, you can find Dora the explorer in almost any language on the internet (Arabic, German, Macedonian…honestly any language). So if your kid gets bored with watching Dora in English, challenge them to watch in a different language and see if they can pick up a few phrases. This would be a good challenge for older kids as well. Reference: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17482790902772315?journalCode=rchm20#.VPOhmlPF83A

and

http://cas.illinoisstate.edu/sites/geo/2013/03/25/exploring-with-dora/

Episode run time: approx. 23 minutes Where to find: Nick jr. @ 7:30pm weekdays Recommended Ages: 2-5 yrs

5. Word Girl Word Girl is an animated series, created by Scholastic Inc, about a 5th grade hero named Becky Botsford who fights villains using her words. Each episode introduces 4 new vocabulary words while keeping things interesting with a good vs. bad plot running throughout. The series curriculum is shaped in large part by the work of Isabel Beck, Margaret McKeown, and Linda Kucan authors of the book, Bringing Words to Life: Robust vocabulary Instruction. I’ve seen the show and find it pretty entertaining. Fun fact: many of the voices behind the show are from the improv comedy world (they even have a Saturday Night Live cast member as the narrator).  I give this show my stamp of approval. Reference: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/02/arts/television/02jens.html?_r=1& Episode run time: Approx 30 min Where to find: youtube, PBS kids.com, HULU Recommended Ages: 4-9 yrs

6. Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is a new and different version of MIster Roger’s Neighborhood. The show’s main character is the son of the striped tiger from Mister Roger’s Neighborhood. Daniel Tiger teaches emotional literacy using the Fred Rogers social-emotional curriculum. This means that your child will learn to express himself or herself and deal with disappointing times and happy times. The show does not exclusively teach novel language concepts, but I feel that showing a child how to use the words they already know to help people understand how they feel, is just as powerful as learning new vocabulary. This show may be especially good for children on the spectrum who may struggle with handling their own emotions or the emotions of others. Reference: http://www.pbs.org/parents/daniel/about/ And http://www.fredrogerscenter.org/about/advisory-council/ Episode run time: approx. 30 min Where to find: PBS weekdays @ 2:00pm, 2:30pm, 8:00pm, 8:30pm Recommended Ages: 2-4

7. The Magic School Bus The Magic School Bus is another series created by Scholastic Inc. I loved this series when I was a kid!  In each episode, Ms. Frizzle, a science teacher, takes her class on a field trip, during which the subject they’re learning about comes to life. The show is based on the book series which is heavily researched. The show is science based, and is great to help teach school aged children new scientific vocab and clarify concepts for children who have trouble processing information in class.  Read an interview with the creators below. Reference: http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/article/joanna-cole-and-bruce-degen-interview-transcript Episode run time: 30 minutes Where to find: youtube.com, Netflix Recommended Ages: 3-10 yrs

8. Between the Lions Between the Lions is a show featuring lions (go figure) that aims to build literacy skills. It was developed by some members of the Sesame Street team. The show revolves around a family of lions that lives in the library and reads books that relate to what they’re doing that day. The show helps teach letter-sound association, rhyming, fluency, sight words and other early literacy skills. The show’s producers consulted literacy experts (whom they list on their PBS website page) to create a curriculum based on research conducted by the National Research Committee. I feel that this show is a good way to introduce or reinforce early literacy skills in children, so I’m giving it my stamp of approval.

Reference: http://www.pbs.org/parents/lions/program/curriculum.html Episode run time: approx. 30 min Where to find: youtube.com pbskids.org Recommended Ages: 4-7 yrs

Unofficial Recommendation

Reading Rainbow Reading Rainbow is a show that focuses on establishing a love of reading in young children. The show’s host, LeVar Burton, narrates children’s books (on an ipad) while pictures from the book are shown on the screen. This show teaches kids sequencing and storytelling grammar through the books that are presented. I love this show, mostly because it’s a throwback to my childhood and although I can’t officially recommend it (I had trouble finding evidence that the show is based on specific curriculum or early childhood research) I definitely informally recommend it for young kids ages 4-8.  

There are tons of great shows for kids out there, this list only represents a few of them. Feel free to add to it in the comments section!

What I’m into….

Sleep- I LOVE being in bed. I don’t even have to sleep, I can read, research things online (or just take personality quizzes, whatever), file my nails…However when it’s time to go to sleep, it’s a struggle. I know what all the experts say about making your bed a place of sleep and not activity, but I can’t help it, if I just get in bed and go to sleep I won’t get to enjoy actually being in bed. Does that make sense? If it does, you might be my sleep soulmate…anywho, a friend of mine recommended guided meditation at night to help me sleep, so I began using this app called iSleep Easy. It’s nice, I can listen to a calming voice tell me to breath deeply and relax, or I can listen to sounds of the ocean, or a stream (my personal favorite). I would recommend giving it a try if you have trouble falling asleep.

Food- Talde is amazing. I know the wait time for a table is 347,9743,934 hours, so just make a reservation through open table and save yourself the stress. The food is amazing, and lives up to the standards of its Brooklyn location. I went there with my boyfriend, we ordered a ton of dishes (we’re taking vitamins now so that’s basically like working out, right?). Everything was pretty good, we’ll be regulars. We sat at a communal table, which was great for my boyfriend who’s like a social falcon. Go grab a bite, and meet some new people.
