How To Write a Protagonist
Ah the protagonist, the main character of your epic adventure. Whether they’re good or bad, human or otherwise, they’ve got a goal and that’s why this story even exists.

How to Write for Readers
First, I want to draw your attention to my upcoming release, How to Become a Successful Writer. I've been cataloging my experiences from the publishing world, and I've also compiled some of my interactions with other writers, editors, marketers, publishers, and readers, and thusly I have acquired more than enough material to create a comprehensive, easy to understand, and somewhat entertaining manual for writers of virtually any skill level.

There is millions of artwork available on the internet; sadly there is a plethora of artwork that's been stolen or insufficient credit or permission has been used. Stolen fan work being sold at conventions is still something that I sadly see a lot of the time. There are lots of talented artists out there trying to make a living out of something they are passionate about, and they should be allowed to do that. Commissions are a big source of income for a lot of artists.

Switching a job is not easy. There are numerous things that need to be taken care of. Even if you land in a new job, it doesn't mean you do not have any responsibility towards your previous employer. It is necessary that you fulfill all your duties and abide by the terms of the contract that you have signed with your previous employer.
5 Ways to Engage Yourself in the Job When You Lose Interest
Following the same routine every day can make an individual's life dull and boring. When a person has been working with a firm for many years and does almost the same kind of tasks with no new challenges, he/she might start losing interest in the job. It might happen that when waking up in the morning, you realize that you are done with the job and want to give up. You may have some spectacular accomplishments under your belt, an exceptional team that delivers efficient projects on time, and a handsome package. But you are not able to get over the feeling of quitting. When the brain pulls a plug on something you love to do, staying completely engaged in it can become difficult. This happens because you lose your concentration as your mind wanders off to other things and might end up messing the work. While experiencing a slump in interest is completely normal, it is time to look for some motivation. Motivated and happy employees often tend to be more productive at work and also show better performance. Here are ways that will help you rediscover your lost passion and get you back on track.

One day as a nurse will forever change a person. We cry, we laugh, we make very inappropriate jokes in order to cope. From cleaning up fecal matter to reviving someone back to life, we never know what assignment we'll be managing. The angles that must be considered when going into nursing are infinite; there will always be something new to learn.

Welcome to another article here on Vocal. I’m Jared Rimer, and I’ve done quite a bit of writing on this site. Today, I want to talk about the job market, especially when it comes to people with visual impairments.
Jared RimerPublished 7 years ago in JournalNotes from a Site Engineer 4
Some site roles are, as mine was, primarily observational in nature. This means that you will spend very little time doing actual physical work of any kind, and an awful lot of time standing around watching other people work. Yes, I was that kind of site engineer. I supervised other people doing the 'hard graft.' I know that, in general, that does not make me the most popular person on site. I came to terms with that a long time ago. I made up for this lack of popularity with my sparkling wit and personality (definitely a joke, I made up for it mostly by being the clumsy goofball).
