Protest the Internet Kill Switch Bill

LindaJM — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 19:05:43 GMT

Emergency! The USA congress is considering a bill to allow our president to shut down the internet for months at a time. If you care about your internet content writing income please protest this legislation!

Crop Failure from the BP Gulf oil spill

LindaJM — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 23:47:50 GMT

Today I added a video: It's Raining Oil in Louisiana. Who wants oil all over their crops? This spells certain misery for farmers, and for whoever else may depend on their crops.

The problem was first reported by an organic farmer. Looks like it is getting worse, but it is hard to say how bad it could get. This is the big unknown.

This oil spill may have very far-reaching effects, and I'm not talking just about the Gulf of Mexico or the Southern states!

I love to find lenses that are created in ways I haven't seen (or noti

LindaJM — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:18:57 GMT

Today I came across another lens I felt was so good (and creative) that I had to add it to my Creative Lensmaking lens. This one is by lensmaster Vallain, who wrote about humane ways to get rid of chipmunks. I loved her humane suggestions, but the graphics she used really caught my eye so I featured her lens on mine.

So far the following lensmasters have been featured on Creative Lensmaking: jacklee, riff999, GrowWear, Nochipra, NotePromote, Vacation-In-My-Head, 4U2C, and Vallain. Come see the un...

I'm still looking for Bigfoot

LindaJM — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 22:16:25 GMT

You may think it bizarre to look for Bigfoot, but I live in the middle of the Klamath National Forest where there have been reported Bigfoot sightings within a mile of my home in Happy Camp, California.

About five years ago a Bigfoot researcher from Central California came north to look for Bigfoot evidence about seventy miles west of here in Hoopa, California. David Paulides, a former law enforcement officer, used his reporting skills to create a fascinating casebook he titled The Hoopa Project....

My first article at Fortitude was published

LindaJM — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 23:41:55 GMT

Today my first article at Fortitude was published so I updated my lens on the site as I'm keeping track of my earnings there. I also posted an analysis of which site has better income potential: Squidoo or Fortitude.

Alex Jones or Glenn Beck - which do you prefer?

LindaJM — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 01:04:58 GMT

I've been listening to Alex Jones on occasion via internet since 2004; I heard about Glenn Beck just last year, by reading about him on Squidoo. I don't own a television set, so I didn't know he existed.

This lens has a duel module - and I'm getting good responses there - mostly from outside Squidoo. I thought I'd put the word out today so if you have a preference you can contribute your thoughts to the debate.

Will the BP Gulf Oil Spill Cause Mass Starvation?

LindaJM — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 15:33:17 GMT

A report by Russian scientists reveals that dispersal agents being used in the Gulf oil spill may result in the greatest ecological disaster in human history. Crops may fail throughout the eastern USA. Already signs of crop damage have been noted in Mississippi.

A Summer Sunshine lens about welfare...

LindaJM — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 06:02:36 GMT

Last year our California governor said he wanted to eliminate all welfare in our state. This lens looks at the ramifications ... what would our civilization be like if welfare was eliminated?

I've asked a lot of questions, and looked at the situation from every angle I could think of. Would charities be able to make up the difference for the most destitute among us?

Please read this lens, contribute your heart-felt comments to the debate, and if you feel the lens is worthy, please nominate it for...

Have you heard about Fortitude, the new content writing site?

LindaJM — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 00:53:10 GMT

I'm excited... there's a new content writing site - it opened just a week ago. This is a chance to get in on the ground floor of this money making opportunity. The site is a lot like Qondio, but with a twist - only serious content writers will participate. I joined today and am very much looking forward to writing articles there! (They take fiction and poetry too... for the most part, you can publish almost anything you want to write about!)

Focusing on US issues for a moment here...

LindaJM — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 16:41:37 GMT

One of the best things about being American is the opportunity to work to promote causes we care about. This lensography compiles my lenses that focus on social issues and debates of interest to US citizens.

Are you a blogger?

LindaJM — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 16:03:28 GMT

If you blog, the pressure is on - to make your blog better - to make it good enough to compete with the professionals who earn thousands with their blogs. How do they do it?

Well, there are a few who make their money by revealing their secrets to profitable blogging. I've gathered leads to their information and tossed in some of my own on this lens about expert blogging advice.

This lens won a purple star a few weeks ago! (Big surprise for me!) I hope that means the information it contains is va...

More about me... in case you're curious.

LindaJM — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 20:09:03 GMT

I completely rethought this lens today and added a lot of new material, while taking out the parts that no longer felt right. Now it focuses on five main areas of my life:

1. Writing
2. California Travel
3. Family Rights Activism
4. Bigfoot Research
5. Senior Squids

Have you ever wanted to write a novel for children?

LindaJM — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:08:27 GMT

Writing a children's novel isn't hard, but it takes dedication and perseverance. If you can keep going chances are that within a few months you'll have a viable first draft.

To learn more about how these novels are written, see my tips for writing middle grade novels.
