Factors Affecting the Rate of Reaction Between Sodium Thiosulfate and E

Factors Affecting the Rate of Reaction Between Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric acid. Plan I will be conducting an experiment to find out if concentrating Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid will effect the rate of reaction. I predict that the higher the concentration of the Thiosulfate, the quicker it will react with the Hydrochloric Acid. I will test: 20 Acid 20 Thio 0 Water 20 Acid 15 Thio 5 Water 20 Acid 10 Thio 10 Water 15 Acid 20 Thio 5 Water 10 Acid 20 Thio 10 Water The total volume of all the liquids will be kept the same.

Reinvestigation of Editorial Genre on the Basis of Generic Structure

Reinvestigation of Editorial Genre: On the Basis of Generic Structure Potential Abstract Editorial research has been developed since about 2005 by some professionals in the field such Scholar Ansary or Babaii because there are many following journals of editorials citing their previous development such as Fartousi and Dumanig (2012), Ansary and Babaii(2009) and so on.Out of the gap in the confirmatory developed by Ansary and Babaii (2005), the research attempts to apply their framework in the online editorials of China Post and the consequence manifests that their editorial GSP matches the consequence of the study, further confirming their research result; however, there are some limitations in the study: there are many other English editorials in non-English-speaking countries not researched yet, so if the future study can confirm the previous research results, then the reliability in the editorial GSP can be more stabilized to the extent of a principle-like theorem.Then, an editori al GSP slightly differs from the work of Ansary and Babaii (2005), id est, that of Fartousi and Dumanig (2012), but the most order or acronyms in Ansar and Babaii’s (2005) editorial GSP is nearly the same; consequently, if the future study can make comparisons among editorial GSPs, the editorial GSP will be developed more completely and perfectly.For the pedagogical implication, the editorial GSP can be designed into a curriculum as an extra-curricular course or even an in-class one for students in the secondary or tertiary education in order to raise learning interest and the medium of communicating competence through absorbing and internalizing the editorial content as a subject or the discipline of in-class oral communication. IntroductionIn light of Ansary and Babaii (2005), during the past years, there has been much research in genre in and across many linguistic use domains; then, the concept, genre, has been a framework for the analysis of the form and rhetorical funct ion such as research articles, dissertations, editorials†¦, serving as a tool for developing educational practices in rhetoric, linguistics, composition studies, ESP, EAP, and so onThe interest in the research lies in the need to confirm a genre model that can be applied into non-English-as-L1 pedagogical environment, the one in Taiwan in order to discipline students’ capability of understanding editorial genre to bolster their reading comprehension for the better effective communication competence. Therefore, based on such stance, it is expected that the editorial genre model may also be applied to the editorial genre in the online version of Taiwan editorial genres which will be discussed in the methodology.For the research relative to the study theme, there is considerable. For instance, Anaray and Babii(2005) have formulated the editorial GSP on the online Washington editorials, which is the main base of the study. Next, Flowerdew and Dudley-Evans(2002) refer to thei r findings that they may contribute to the comprehension of the function and nature of letter editorials regardless of none generalization about it.Then, Katajamaki and Koskela(2006) studies rhetorical structure of editorials in English, Swedish, and Finnish business newspapers whose conclusion finds that when there is variation, it concerns two stages of the rhetorical structure, i. e. solution and moral, and that editorials in business newspapers seldom present any direct solutions for the critical issues discussed.Besides the aforementioned studies, Ansary and Babii(2009) report that an ‘unmarked’ English newspaper editorial, published either in Iran or Pakistan or the USA, typically consists of four obligatory and two optional generic rhetorical elements. Furthermore, Fartousi and Dumanig (2012) identify the rhetorical pattern of an English editorial titled ‘the Hoodies of NWO’ published on October 8, 2011 in the Tehran Times –the most read Engli sh daily newspaper- in Iran: RH ^ AI ^ (BI) ^ (IA) ^ A ^ (CR) ^ (AS): RH: Run-on Headline, CR: Concluding Remark, AS: Articulating a Solution.In accordance with Ansary and Babaii (2005), they investigate the 30 editorials from online Washington Times in a perspective of SFL—Systemic Functional Linguistics—founded by Michael Halliday and creates a genre model for editorials; however, she expresses in the final textual page before the references that There is a dearth of confirmatory research attempting to examine whether the identified generic patterns apply to other corpuses. To serve this line of investigation, then, it seems advisable to consolidate the findings of previous exploratory genre analyses, including the one reported here, through further research.Therefore, the purpose of the paper is to reinvestigate the gap in the aforementioned journal by Ansary and Babaii (2005), The Generic Integrity of Newspaper Editorials: A Systemic Functional Perspective, on the basis of the work of them and the British linguist, M. A. K. Halliday. If the research successfully proves the fact the genre model with respect of editorials can be applied to the online Chinese Mandarin versions of editorial model, then, it will benefit the pedagogical domain and contribute the academic value concerning the development of the editorial genre format more completely and even fully to academic boundary.Literature Review This research is to reinvestigate if the editorial GSP developed by Ansary and Babaii (2005) and based on Halladian Systemic Functional Linguistics model of texts analysis, can be applied into that of online China Post in Taiwan and to be more specific and detailed, this study is check whether their GSP ( Generic Structural Potential) of English newspaper editorials can be applied into it.What relates to the concepts of the study theme are SFL, Systemic Functional Linguistics, GSP, Generic Structural Potential, and certain acronyms of a certain genre, say, editorial, exemplified later as follows. Accordingly, the study explores relevant research: First, there will be some relevant editorial works from different scholars; then GSP, is stated in detail and one real GSP of editorials listed below for illustration. For SFL, it’s a textual analytical tool or model or framework (Ansary and Babaii, 2005 & Hughes, 2009) set up by M.A. K. Hallidy and by Morley (1985), it states that SFL interprets language as a systematic network of meaning potential and that systems compose language. For the GSP Hassan and Halliday develop it in 1989, and according to Ansary and Babaii(2005), a GSP of a genre is a condensed statement of a text (or a genre) in its CC (Contextual Configuration), and by Hassan(1984), he describes the GSP of a certain genre as â€Å"a statement of the structural resources available in a given genre.Furthermore, in accordance with Halliday and Hasan (1989), a GSP is an abstract theoretical concept that †¦ expres s[es] the total range of optional, [iterative], and obligatory elements and their order in such a way that we exhaust the possibilities of text structure for every text that can be appropriate to [the Contextual Configuration of that text]. In order to further specify the definition of GSP, the following is given and from the research result on editorial GSP done by Hassan: [pic]For each symbol acronyms, the following is its explanations: the caret, ^, is sequence; H stands for Heading; BI, Background Information; AI, Addressing an Issue; IA, Initiation of Argumentation; A; Argumentation; CA; Closure of Argumentation; AP, Articulating a Position; round brackets, ( ), represent optionality; the square brackets, [ ], the limit concerning sequence(the none changeability of sequence); the dot, . means the changeability of order; the braces with an arrow— {[pic]}— stand for the degree of repetition. At last, n and m represent several sets of iteration. To sum up, under SFL theories, it is practicable to use its model later developed, i. e. , GSP, to analyze a structure of a certain genre and the analytical consequence can be formulated by symbols and acronyms in a line. MethodologyThe Framework for the Analysis of Online China Post Editorials Based on the work of Ansary and Babaii (2005) with regard to editorial GSP: [pic], the experiment will be conduced by the same analytical framework for the identification of texts used by Ansary and Babaii (2005). Analytical Procedure: The Sample Analysis of a Full Text As to the in-depth textual analysis, a sample from China Post Online will be given in order to show the how; for the analysis presentation, it just centers on higher-level rhetorical structure of texts, the mode constituting the larger parts of textsThe sample below is an editorial from The China Post electronically published on the column titled Editorial, on the website: http://chinapost. com. tw on Wednesday, December 26, 2012.

Additionally, Yin (1984) suggests the steps in add- ing construct validity and the how is reviewing and cross-examining the analytical result y the frequent discussions with a postgraduate researcher (Dr. E. Babaii), yet, out of the lack of such suitable one, it is temporarily put off. Besides, for vindicating the analytical reliability, the approach mentioned by Ansary and Babaii (2005) is in the following: First, they randomly selected 10 texts from the corpus and requested two judges with a beforehand training background to independently code the texts. Second.They used Kappa coefficient (K) as a felicitous non-parametric measure to index the degree of agreement between coders and their codings, and the inter-coder and intra-coder reliability indices were calculated: kappa coefficient must exceed . 60 to be dependable and valid index of an acceptable degree of agree ment between judges. Under Prof Chen’s requirement, there are 5 extra GSP analyses from the same editorial website in the following: New Taiwan dollar closes flat after sharp surge (January  8,  2013)GSP:H^[AI]^{IA^A1^A2}{AP}{IA^A1}^{AP} KMT leaves year-end bonus loophole: DPPJanuary  8,  2013, GSP:H^[AI]^{IA^A1^A2^A3^A4}^{AP1^AP2^AP3^AP4} Opposition, ruling parties must agree: time is not on our side December 19, 2012 GSP:H^[AI]^{IA^A1^A2^A3A4}^{AP1^AP2^AP3^AP4} Benefits for the aged are more than just a handout December 11, 2012 GSP:H^[AI]^{IA^A1^A2^A3^A4}^{AP1^AP2^AP3^AP4^AP5} In Diaoyutais dispute, time has come for pragmatic diplomacy November 8, 2012 GSP:H^[AI]^{IA^A1^A2}^{AP1^AP2^AP3^AP4} Discussion The GSP for the editorials based on online China Post can be listed as: [pic] [pic]H^[AI]^{IA^A1^ A2^ A3^ A4^ A5}^{AP1^AP2} In the above GSP, the caret sign indexes sequences order; the square brackets delimit sequence; the braces with an arrow indicate the degree o f iteration. In sum, the aforementioned GSP is a condensed statement signifying an editorial from online China Post may appear in this way: an editorial typically begins with a headline and then addresses an issue and later argumentations and finally end with the articulation of the position. In ddition, such arguments and positions can be repetitive until the conclusion is mentioned. Conclusion Based on the result and discussion, it is obvious that the GSP of the editorials in the online China post matches the one raised by Ansary and Babaii(2005), but the limitation is that if there are more different data sources in the respect of editorials, the editorial GSP may be further confirmed and the degree of reliability may also be increased. For the comparisons between the literature findings as well as mine, it is elaborated below.First, in light of Katajamaki and Koskela(2006), they further indicate the variation in business editorial GSP bout their possible changes, whose result pa ttern is quite similar to Ansary and Babaii’s (2005) and more detailed; therefore, it is a point the future study may refer to. Then for Fartousi and Dumanig (2012) in the comparison between their and mine findings, they’re fairly similar as well: they their editorials GSP contains AR(Articulating a Resolution).Later, for Flowerdew and Dudley-Evans(2002), their finding is that they couldn’t form a formula but can describe of the nature and function about the editorials they analyze. Additionally, in terms of Ansary and Babaii(2009), they express that the non-native English language newspapers often carry a translated version of the same editorial printed in the native language edition of the newspapers, so it is a good research direction in the multiple comparisons in different editorial GSP with regard to whether L2 editorials may transfer their L1 into the editorials.Finally, the pedagogical implication lies in that the model can be applied into teaching mater ials as part of the development for student’s interest in learning English instead of being restricted to the dull textbooks merely, especially for the textbooks in tertiary education and their comprehension in this field.

What kind of correlation do you expect to find between annual income and amount spent on car? Will it be positive or negative? Will it be a strong relationship? Base your answer on your personal guess as well as by looking through the data. The annual income and amount of money spent on a car correlates that generally the greater the sum of income the larger portion of money spent on a car. The middle/low to middle income in datas spent the most with percentages ranging from the low 21% to 40%. The middle/high income percentages took a much smaller percentage rate at 12% and 35%. While the low income percentages represented only 10% of their incomes spent toward a new car purchase. The trend makes the graph ascend on both sides of the linear regression line. Don’t waste time! Our writers will create an original "Linear Regression and Statistics" essay for you Create order When the incomes of the consumer increase the sales for cars also rises presenting a positive result. Therefore, as long as the incomes continue to grow the relationship to car sales will also trend to the right in an upward, positive motion. B. What is the direction of causality in this relationship i. e. does having a more expensive car make you earn more money, or does earning more money make you spend more on your car? In other words, define one of these variables as your dependent variable (Y) and one as your independent variable (X). Depending on the each individuals perspective the variable can switch between dependent and independent based on the person’s viewpoint. For this purpose, the independent variable which is represented by (X) is the annual income. The dependent variable is represented by (Y) and is the cost of the car. The reason I chose to have the annual income as the independent variable is because a person will continue to look for a job with security, growth potential, and a higher income. The car is seen as a vehicle of transportation only and needed to get to work and home. It is a necessity, but not a luxury item with elaborate expenses. We can have the basic model without all the bells and whistles to accomplish the task to get to and from a location. C. What method do you think would be best for testing the relationship between your dependent and independent variable, ANOVA or regression? Explain your reasoning thoroughly with a discussion of both methods. Both linear regression which utilizes hypothesis testing and ANOVA can be sources for testing. Each testing has its own drawbacks. In this paper I have utilized the regression calculator. What is hypothesis testing? It is statistical procedures that utilize sample data gathered and then formulates a hypothesis based on the validation of the hypothesis. A hypothesis is an unapproved scientific conclusion drawn from known facts and in statistics an idea, an assumption or theory about certain data with one or more variables that exists in one or more populations. There must be two statements; which represents the population being studied and the alternate. It is assumed the first statement is true. There are a variety of factors that can contribute to falsifying the conditions. The data gathered can be endless, so setting boundaries is important. An ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is a tool used for analyzing data, which is a result of a one-way design, and certain assumptions. This technique is used to analyze the variation in the data to determine if more than two population means are equal. A one-way ANOVA has several different levels of one factor being studied and the objects or people being observed and/or measured are randomly assigned to one of the c levels of the factor. The three major assumptions of an ANOVA are as follows; the errors are random and independent of each other, all of the populations have the same variance, and each population has a normal distribution. D. Top of Form Accuracy The algorithm is written to round all output to no more than11 significant digits. Further, all numbers of magnitude less that 10-12 are presented as zero.

Career Exploration Paper - 3362 Words

Autobiography: John Krumboltz once said, â€Å"You have control over your own actions and how you think about the events that impact your life. None us can control the outcomes, but your actions can increase the probability that desired outcomes will occur. There are no guarantees in life. The only guarantee is that doing nothing will get you nowhere.† (Krumboltz, 46). In this short exert from his book titled Luck is no Accident, 10 Ways to get More out of Work and Life, Krumbolz discusses the importance of making the most out of opportunities that may seem little or pointless, and that happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions, but instead, it is governed by our mental attitude. Throughout my life, I have only had a few jobs†¦show more content†¦According to John Holland’s Theory of Career Choice, he explains the significance of involving work related behavior. Holland makes a connection between personality type and working environment, and ho w these two aspects guide one to career success and satisfaction. After taking the personality test, I found out that I am an extrovert. Being a very social person, I need to have a job that is not boring, keeps me on my toes, and I am constantly being challenged in. After working at the Property Management Company I learned that just when you think your day can’t get any more hectic, it does. So you always have to be alert and ready to handle whatever comes your way. This is exactly the kind of job I want, and although some people may get freaked out and scared by this, things like that are what make me happy and feel accomplished. Career Decisions: The use of personality, interest, and values assessments are very crucial in overall career decisions. One should never choose a career unless they know it fits their personality, needs, and level of happiness. As Confucius once said, â€Å"Choose a job that you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life†. If we don’t choose a job that we like and enjoy doing, we may last a few weeks, months, or even years, but after a while we will feel like we are at a dead end job, doing the same thing every day, which may lead to not only stress on yourself, but also your family.Show MoreRelatedCareer Exploration Paper1320 Words   |  6 PagesCareer Exploration Paper Tori Turner Liberty University Career Exploration Paper Career Field Occupation Choice Within society, there are many occupations to explore and chose.

The Stonewall Riots Of 1969 - 2157 Words

The 1960’s was a decade of great change in America, from civil rights for African Americans to equal rights for women, the American people were rising up and discovering that their voice in the political discourse was just as important as those they elected to office. One other such group that awakened and challenged the existing status quo that kept them silent and scared were the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities across the country. From the first large-scale associations of LGBT individuals that formed in San Francisco in the 1950’s to the political and social groups that came to be following the Stonewall Riots of 1969, they would speak out and not allow themselves to be kept down anymore.

My Air Force Career Essay Example For Students

My Air Force Career Essay I have had many important life experiences in my short thirty-two years on this earth thus far. Some have been enjoyable while others dreadful. There is one experience that has both of these aspects and has spanned over twelve years of my life-my Air Force career. I would it is one of the most important experiences in my life. During this time, I have seen the good and bad in the world along with learning about life and its lessons. This experience allowed me to grow up, travel the world, and meet amazing people. Growing up is hard to do. I went to college after high school, but dropped out not knowing what I wanted to do in life or get out of it. I do not believe four years in college makes anyone grow up, nor actually prepares them for life. I can’t speak for all though, not finishing my last three years. I can only speculate what my life could have been had I finished at twenty-three years old and entering the world as a college graduate. In lieu of college and being a â€Å"bum† living at my parents’ house, I decided to enlist in the United States Air Force. Although I did not join until I was twenty years old, unlike many whom are still teenagers, I was still young and immature. Being an Eagle Scout, I had some paramilitary bearing and ideals, but had no idea yet what I was getting myself into. It was a frightful experience leaving home for the first time and not truly knowing or understanding what to expect. Little did I know, I was embarking on a whole new life adventure full of unknown experiences. I realized this once I stepped on that plane to Texas and arrived at Lackland Air Force Base for Basic Military Training (Boot Camp). Upon arriving and as soon as you step off that bus, it is open season on you for the training Instructors. I was definitely not at home anymore! After six grueling weeks of being broke down and built back up, you think it is over and you made it. Wrong. That was only one step of the many days, weeks, and years to come of lessons and experiences in my career. As a child I had only ever been to Oregon and Nevada for family vacations. Not coming from a military family, I was the first to endure this adventure. After Boot Camp I spent time in Northern Texas then eventually received my orders to my first duty station. I was so excited and scared, where was I going to be sent? Hopefully one of the places I picked: Germany, England, Asianope, Albuquerque, New Mexico. I thought â€Å"where the hell is that? † One important life lesson I learned right then and there, you can’t always get what you want or what you ask for. Meanwhile, I was still excited to be going someplace new and unknown. I spent six years there and actually enjoyed it and was glad to have been sent there. From there I was able to go on work trips and deployments. I went to the east coast of Florida to support the Air Force mission. We would convoy across the south from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Cocoa Beach, Florida. In what other other job would I have been able to tour the south like that and at the employer’s expense? I was able to spend time in Iraq (twice), United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, England, Ireland, and Germany. Out of all those places, only Iraq was the scariest and most stressful. Having to arm up with a rifle and sidearm and wear body armor daily just to go to work and even the bathroom, was definitely eye opening experience. Traveling to all the other places, even though for work, was like mini vacations. .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0 , .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0 .postImageUrl , .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0 , .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0:hover , .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0:visited , .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0:active { border:0!important; } .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0:active , .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0 .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .uc5a165bb73d10d2c9673fc393a5c41b0:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Pearl Harbor EssayI was fortunate to be able to travel the Rhine River, tour one-thousand-year-old castles, drive the Autobahn, learn about Middle Eastern culture, try amazing foods/drinks, swim in the Arabian Sea, and meet many amazing people. One amazing aspect of my overall military experience is the people, friends and connections I have made across the world. In all the places I have traveled I was able to connect to other Air Force and other military people. The majority of the individuals I have met are outstanding and we still keep in touch to this day. Like I mentioned before about seeing the good and bad, that is relevant to people I have met too. The vast majority of everyone relates somehow because we all have shared experiences or are in the same shitty location (i. e. Iraq). Granted we may not all be best friends, but we learn to get along and come together to accomplish the mission. There is always that one guy, or gal, that can ruin it for everyone though. I have to say I learn from them of what not to be, especially if they are in a supervisory position. Since two thousand three, I have had huge life altering experiences. From when I left home to Basic Training to my last travel adventure of touring Germany and on to my new experience of being an Air Force Reservist. There are so many experiences that each experience has its own other experience within itself. It is somewhat mind boggling at actually how many experiences I have had from just enlisting in the U. S. Air Force. Even from this moment on, I can continue to have and make new, good and bad, life experiences by continuing to grow, by traveling, and meeting people.

New Ways for Writers to Think About Creativity … and Why You Should Give Yourself a Break

NEW WAYS FOR WRITERS TO THINK ABOUT CREATIVITY †¦ AND WHY YOU SHOULD GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK It’s sometimes hard for clients and copywriters alike to remember the writing process: It’s one part hard work (sweat on the keyboard), one part art. And sometimes, the â€Å"art† part can be hard to pin down. You’re blocked, distracted. You’ve had a bad morning, you’re stressed out about something †¦ but you still need to make your deadlines. You’ll find that some days you may show up for work, and the creativity just isn’t there (this happens more than you think!). Now, listen to what Elizabeth Gilbert has to say. She’s the bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love (which I haven’t read). This speech is long (about 20 minutes), but very interesting – she talks about the history of writers and artists, the preponderance of mental illness and neurosis in creative types, and offers a new perspective on the creative process – and why we should all give ourselves a break from time to time. --> For this writer, I really appreciated Elizabeth Gilbert’s analysis. Creative genius is an elusive thing – it comes at certain times, and never when you expect it (at the gym, in the middle of a load of laundry, while you’re watching TV). You have to show up for work every day, but understand that your creative genius might not. It’s something that can be hard to understand: why your first draft taglines just really aren’t good (at all). Whether you’re a copywriter, fiction writer, screenwriter, technical writer, playwright, a beginner or a seasoned expert, this is the duplicitous nature of the writer within us all that we have to deal with. Again, writing is one part hard work and one part art – in reality, writers are workhorses. Can we expect writers to be genius all the time? Absolutely not – as Elizabeth Gilbert points out. But when the creativity isn’t there, when your genius doesn’t show up for work when you do, sometimes you have to make up for it with good hard work. Or, just give yourself a break. Your genius will show up eventually, just maybe not today.
