How to Create a Cartoon Portfolio

So, you have everything you need. Now, how to put it together?

If you're going with presentation portfolios then you can just slip your copies into the plastic protectors that come with the binder.

Alternatively, if you noticed what Bill did in the video above, you could try affixing your drawings to black backgrounds of posterboard or something similar. You can go through these individually by 'shuffling' and discussing them in turn.

How to Publish a Novel: Allegory

While intending to make a symbolic story is one approach to having an allegorical novel, some authors create works of allegory without intending it. After your novel is published you may find that your book is interpreted in several different ways, many of which you did not intend. These are levels of allegory that are specific to the reader.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJCvEhL7FuA

How to Become a Proofreader

Standard proofreader notation prevents miscommunication between the proofreader and the typesetter. Keep a chart handy while you work. Most marks are made in the margin, with the affected word or phrase circled.

How to Write a Science Fiction Novel

Consider what kind of a writer you are and how you get your best results. Look at previous writing projects eg. school essays, homework assignments, writing for work, any creative writing etc. Are you the kind of person that does better planning every step and sticking tightly to a detailed outline prepared in advance? or do you make some plans and gather background information but do better letting the creative process unfold and go with it? Be flexible.

Some writers start with the characters and get to know them so well as individuals that the story almost writes itself because it all flows from what would this character do, and is it realistic to do that?

Some writers do best planning every detail of the story outline and then place the characters within that structure and make them fit in it.

Some writers have an overall theme, issue, problem, historical event, or happening and everything else needs to fit into that. Those are a few examples of many.

Whatever is your best approach to start with of those above, some combination or something completely different, a good writer will be aware of all the background work that was done and make sure every part of the novel is consistent, reasonable for the situation and relevant to the story being told.

How to Publish a Novel: Metaphor

As language has evolved, everyday metaphors - used in normal conversation, speech, etc - have emerged. These are "dead metaphors."

Using your own metaphors with unexpected pairings can augment the impact of your writing.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBnDBea9xkA
