Beaver Cartoon Design: Working Smarter Not Harder



This is another design I did for the Zazzle gallery based on the saying “Work Smarter Not Harder” I have done some other designs based on this popular saying and will most likely continue to do more as I think of them because I like the saying so much. I have included links to a few articles on the subject of “working smarter and not harder” which someone whishing to incorporate this type of behavior into their life might find useful. I have also added links to the products I put this design on. Enjoy and have a great day.

You Tell Me...About POVs

How do you feel about changes in POV during a book? For instance, in a wonderful book I just finished, the majority of the book was in the MC's POV, with a few scenes in the villain's POV. Then toward the end of the book, we got one scene in the love interest's POV and at the end of that scene, there was a paragraph or two in another character's POV.

Now it was done very well and clearly and didn't bother me at all. Yet, I know switching like that does bother some people.

So I'm curious how you all feel about it. Because my current WIP sort of follows a similar pattern to the book I mentioned above. The book switches back and forth between my MC and her love interest until close to the end. Then there are two or three chapters that are in two other characters' POVs. But in these scenes, my MC and her love interest are out of commission. But stuff needs to happen, so....another character or two take the wheel for a second.

I've been debating somehow changing these scenes so they can stay in my MC's and her love interest's POVs - but really, those scenes just work better with the other characters.


So tell me....how do you feel about switching POVs?

Blog Chain - Literary Love

My turn on the old Bloggin' Chain :D The ever awesome Shaun picked this topic. Since the chain started on Valentine's Day, Shaun wanted to know:

Who is your favorite literary couple?

This one was actually tougher for me to answer than I thought it would be. For me, it's a tie. Between:

Alex and Rane from


















and Jamie and Claire from




















I don't know if it's because both of the series are really long so you get to spend a lot of time with the characters or what, but both of these couples are just the epitome of devotion, passion, and undying love to me. Alex and Claire are both feisty, strong women and Rane and Jamie (a smuggler among other things and a Scottish Highland lord and outlaw and smuggler respectively (hmmm maybe I just have a thing for smugglers?)) are swoon-worthy. Just amazing couples, amazing stories, love love love them!!

Stop by Eric's blog to check out his answer from yesterday and head on over to Margie's on the 26th to see who she loves! :)

Cut the Bitter and Give Me the Sweet

So I just finished a completely awesome book, but the ending was bittersweet...with a heavy emphasis on the bitter. And I'm just not sure how I feel about that :)

One the one hand, the book was WONDERFUL. I read it in a day and a half, couldn't put it down, LOVED it. I'm still thinking about it, have been all day, which really tells you how good it was.

But...

It didn't have that Happily Ever After ending that I love so much. Now, the ending fit the book. It worked. And there is an opening for a sequel where all could be made right (though I don't think there is one). However...argh. I just want a happy ending!

For the same reason I pretty much stick to romantic comedies with the occasional action flick that ends nicely. When I take time out of my day to read or watch a movie, I want to come away HAPPY. I don't want to be sad about the characters I've grown to love. I'm all for torturing them throughout the book, but when I turn that last page, I want there to be smiles all around.

What can I say? I'm a total sap :D Now, I'm good with stories like The Hunger Game series. I mean, it really needed to end the way it did, and in the end *spoiler alert if you haven't read it* Katniss does end up with a good man who loves her and she does find some peace. So, I'm not saying that it has to be all sunshine and rainbows.

But man...give me a little bit LOL

What kind of endings do you prefer? Are you okay with less than happily ever after endings? How much less?

Manuscript: something submitted in haste and returned at leisure.

A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor.

The only imaginative fiction being written today is income tax returns.

Karen Gillan at the ELLE Style Awards 2011

Doctor Who actress, Karen Gillan is a strong contender for one of the most stylish British actresses of the moment. Although overshadowed by some bigger names at the moment, with more appearances like her one at the ELLE Style Awards night, she’ll quickly move her way up the list.

She appeared at the ELLE Style Awards and instead of wearing a designer dress, the 23 year old actress kept it casual in a pair of navy shorts and a Peach blouse complete with beige woven belt and black patent heels. We think she looks super stylish and pulls of the casual look extremely well. We have put together a few suggestions so you can easily recreate her look.

Justin Bieber Wins International Breakthrough Act Award at the Brit Awards 2011

Justin Bieber accepts International Breakthrough Act Award from Avril Lavigne

Justin Bieber wora a slick black and white ensemble,  meandered down the red carpet and kept a rather straight face while his picture was being snapped up at the Brit Awards in London (February15 , 2011). After being snubbed by the Grammys, Justin Bieber made no secret of the fact he was ‘disappointed’. But Canadian pop sensation won International Breakthrough Act against the Glee cast, Bruno Mars, The National and The Temper Trap. Justin accepted her award from Avril Lavigne. And after missing out on best new artist and best pop vocal album at the Grammys just a few days ago, there was no disguising his delight.

Emo Hairstyle- Professional Cut or Home Cut?

Although the emo hairstyle is agreeable to receiving a cut at home, it is difficult to see the back of our heads or hair clearly.


 Therefore, a professional cut is often the way to go. However, once you have a professional cut, you can always have a friend or family member trim your hair for you to maintain its look.

How to Create Emo Hairstyle Spikes or Shag

Use hair styling products to mold your emo haircut to look the way that you want it to. In particular, a sculpting gel that offers a long lasting hold is going to provide the best performance. Gels that stiffen your hair allow you to spike it as well as allowing the spike to remain. Hair sprays can also be used to help maintain your styling efforts.



Follow these steps to create the spikes or shaggy look that you prefer for your hair.
•Style your hair immediately after shampooing while it is still wet. If you aren‘t planning to shampoo your hair at the time, simply wet your hair.
•Place a generous amount of gel on your hair and work it through with your fingers.
•Shape your hair into the spikes or shags that you would like to have.
•Blow dry your hair until it is completely or almost completely dry.
•Add more gel as needed to maintain your spikes.
•Avoid using a brush once you have styled your emo haircut.
•If you want to ensure that your hair stays set, use a strong–hold hairspray to spray it generously.

Emo Hairstyle Basics

If you have been wearing your emo for a while and it‘s time for a change, consider the possibility of adding highlights, streaks, or coloring the bangs to achieve it. In fact, coloring the bangs in a spectrum of shades that range from light to dark or vice versa is a real eye catcher.


Popular colors for highlights currently tend to be red or purple. Highlighting the layers on long emo haircuts is also another popular styling technique. The shaggy and uneven nature of an emo haircut necessitates that you use a color that will show through your base coat, if you decide to highlight your hair. Usually, a brighter color than the base coat is all that you need to show off your style.
One of the most common emo hairstyles is to dye the hair jet black and styling it with long bangs. Other popular colors include blue, red, and purple. In fact, the more unnatural the color is, the better some people like it. Everyone who decides to go with an emo hairstyle does not decide to dye his or her hair. Many people are now keeping their natural colors and simply adding highlights to it.
No special hair styling equipment is necessary fro an emo haircut. However, if you need to straighten your hair for the right effect, then you might need to obtain a hair straightener or iron if you don‘t already have one. Plus, if you decide that you want to shear one side of your head, then you will need to purchase electric shears.

Emo Bangs

For those with straight hair, achieving the fringe of bangs is easy. However, individuals with curly, wavy, or frizzy hair often need to go to great lengths to maintain the trademark look of the bangs that simply must be attached to an emo haircut. In fact, today‘s manufacturers are partially responsible for making the emo accessible to so many individuals.
An entire plethora of hair styling products exist for taming the wild look of curls and wavy lengths of hair. From smoothing lotions to hair wax to anti–frizz products to hairsprays to hair gels, the number of hair products that help to place errant hair under control is large enough to ensure that everyone can find something that works for them. Additionally, hair straighteners, hair irons, and blow dryers can all be utilized to help create that wall of long bangs that simply must lie correctly in order to achieve the true emo look.
Depending upon the type of hair that you have and the reaction that it presents with the various methods for straightening it, you might need to go through a trial and error process to discover the hair product that works best for you. The bangs are an essential aspect of the emo haircut, so they must be perfected.

Long Emo Hairstyle

The long emo haircut involves a long and shaggy cut. With this style, the bangs are worn in a long fringe and brushed to one side of the face in the same manner as with the short emo haircut. The long bangs are parted to one side of the face with the right side being the more popular one to flip the bangs to fall upon.
The long emo hairstyle often appears in dark colors and it frames the face while sweeping to one side. Females tend to prefer the longer emo with long bangs in the front and the hair is usually layered. However, males also wear this longer version of the emo haircut.

Perfect Emo Hairstyle For 2011

One of the trendiest hairstyles to date, the emo hairstyle is on the fast track to popularity among the younger crowd. While some parents simply abhor the emo fad, others are intrigued by the unique style that a properly arranged emo haircut can present. A tangent from the gothic or punk sub–culture, the emo hairstyle transcends the realm of styling your hair simply to look good and becomes an expressive form. The emo haircut allows the expression of individuality and creativeness. The basic emo hairstyle can be found as a short look or as a long look with similarities between the two.


 The short emo haircut involves a short and spiky cut with very long bangs. With this style, the bangs are worn in a long fringe that lies over the face, but brushed to one side. The bangs essentially cover one eye, completely or almost completely. This fringe of bangs presents a canvas that can be used to express individuality with highlights and streaks.
Males tend to prefer the shorter emo haircut that is short and spiky in the back and includes a long fringe of bangs in the front. However, females also wear this shorter version of the emo haircut.
