bad credit payday loans9

Bad credit payday loans, also known as payday advance loans, are basically a type of short-term debt which is accessible to individuals with bad credit scores. Typically, people borrow small amounts of money (often under $ 1000) from payday loan establishments to be paid back on receipt of their following paycheck. Since these loans carry extreme financial risk for the lender, they are generally quite expensive in nature, particularly considering the very high interest rates associated with them. Nonetheless, if you find yourself in dire need of cash in such situations, payday loans offer an out of the way, quick and simple solution.

The best way to find out whether bad credit payday loans can help you is to talk to your local bank. Often, they can offer you direct access to their various programs or can refer you to reputable lenders who specialize in this field. Though the interest rates offered by banks may not be as favorable as those you will find online, at least they will be able to give you a sound lending paydayloansnow.co.uk decision based on your credit scores and other factors. If you don’t have a bank account, you will find it fairly easy to apply for and receive a loan through the internet, though you will have to use a secure server when applying to ensure that your information is completely secure. Either way, you should be able to find the best way to access your cash advance loans online in no time.

Payday loans are great ways to provide immediate cash when you’re facing an emergency situation between paydays. They can often provide the much-needed money you need to avoid late fees on bills and other expenses, or to get the things you need to make your life easier until your next paycheck arrives. Just be sure to make your repayment on time, as you could end up hurting your credit score even further if you don’t pay back on time. No matter how poor your short-term financing problems are, there are bad credit payday loans to help you out of them, so look around and consider all your options before choosing which one is right for you!

Consider Your Audience, But Write For Yourself

I had fun with Billy Wilder’s tips for writing in the last column, so I’m going back to that well one more time. Remember that Wilder, who died in 2002, won six Oscars.

1. The audience is fickle.
We’ve all heard the advice “Know your audience! Know who you’re writing for.” Well, Wilder seems to be saying you can’t always count on that audience. I would add that the only audience you can really count on is yourself, so write for an audience of one.

2. Grab ‘em by the throat and never let ‘em go.
This may be a natural extension of Tip #1. Wilder seems glibly to say writing
that grabs the reader’s mind and emotions (the throat) won’t be sabotaged
by a fickle audience. Intensity, drama, is important.

3. Know where you’re going.
I frequently advise writers who struggle with plot to write a draft of their
final chapter, then come back to where they felt lost and write toward that
chapter. It helps them know where they’re going.

4. Let the audience add up two plus two. They’ll love you forever.
The more a reader can bring to a work, the more they will invest in it, the
more they will remember it. Wilder is telling us not to explain away the
subtleties of our work. Good writers find the sweet spot between obscurity,
on the one hand, and explaining, on the other.

5. In doing voice-overs, be careful not to describe what the audience already sees. Add to what they are seeing.
As applied to screenwriting, this tip has a quite different meaning than it
does in fiction. I’d say “voice-over” in fiction refers to the author’s use of
narrative voice, and it’s an extension of Tip #4. The setting and the action, including dialogue and thought—i.e., “what the audience already sees”—should
carry most of what the reader needs to know. An insecure author may be
tempted to use the narrator to explain what the author fears the reader won’t
understand.

Billy Wilder was a highly successful writer. And though he tosses writing tips out like peanuts at the zoo, I’m pretty sure he’d agree experience—hard work in The Forge—is the only way to make them stick.

Happy writing.

Creating Complex Characters, Part IV

If you read much about how to create good characters in fiction, you will certainly come across Aristotle’s Poetics. In this work, Aristotle created the first real piece of Western Literary Criticism, defining the major genres and literary techniques of his time (4th century B.C.E.), using key literary works of the period for examples.

Today I’m going to borrow from Michael Tierno’s treatment of characters in his book Aristotle’s Poetics for Screenwriters. I’ll begin with a rather lengthy quote from Tierno’s book. He begins with Aristotle’s four basic elements of any good character:

First, make them good enough that we can root for them. Second, make them ‘appropriate,’ meaning give them characteristics that make sense for the type of person they are. Third, make them human — give them flaws or quirks that make us believe that they exist. Finally, whatever characteristics you do give them, make sure you keep them there throughout the length of the screenplay.” Aristotle adds that if they are inconsistent, make them consistently inconsistent.

Tierno goes on to say:

“Additionally, he [Aristotle] gives us five principles of life that we can use to create character in our stories:

  1. Nutritive Life
  2. Desiring Life
  3. Sensitive Life
  4. Locomotion
  5. Capacity for Rational Thought

“[which] can be used to create convincing three-dimensional characters.”

Some of these principles are more obvious than others. By Nutritive Life, Aristotle simply means your character’s eating habits. We’ve all heard the saying “We are what we eat.” Tierno recommends that screenwriters ask themselves questions such as, “How do they eat, what do they eat? Do they think about food a lot? What do your characters’ refrigerators look like?”

For Aristotle, Desiring Life simply means what your character wants that drives his/her actions. As I have emphasized other places in From the Forge, and Tierno asserts here, “At the heart of all action is the desire of the hero.”

The Sensitive Life, Aristotle’s third principle, is a bit misleading to modern ears. Aristotle simply means here the life of the senses. Presenting the fictional world through the five senses of the character makes both the fictional world and the character more real. Show, don’t tell?

Aristotle’s fourth principle, Locomotion, is self-explanatory. The character’s movements must be presented clearly and accurately. I’ve already emphasized in this series of posts that actions are an important way to develop characters. Another common saying, “We are what we do.”

Capacity for Rational Thought is Aristotle’s final principle. Again, in an earlier post I discussed the use of a character’s thoughts in creating complex characters, and for Aristotle the capacity to think rationally was the greatest of human characteristics.

In closing, I’d like to reiterate a point I made in my most recent post, that the creation of complex characters can be well served by thinking about how these principles, or techniques, might conflict with one another—for example desire in conflict with action, or rational thought in conflict with the senses.
