Writing a balanced, beautiful novel, where plot and character and setting and pacing and narrative structure and imagery and, above all, story work in harmony and true proportion, is fucking *hard*." --Nicola Griffith, www.strangehorizons.com/2003/20030929...

والبعض يشعر بالهلع إذا ما وجد الأمور تسير على ما يرام، فيسرع للبحث عن شئ يفسد به يومه، شئ يشغله عن الشعور بالسعادة، والاستمتاع باللحظة كما هي، حينها فقط يشعر أن كل شئ يسير على ما يرام حقاً، الآن يمتلك أمراً مأساوياً ليحدث عنه الجميع في السنوات القليلة القادمة https://www.facebook.com/marwah.write...

The best advice I can give on this is, once it's done, to put it away until you can read it with new eyes. When you're ready, pick it up and read it, as if you've never read it before. If there are things you aren't satisfied with as a reader, go in and fix them as a writer: that's revision." [FAQ - Advice to Authors on Gaiman's website, http://www.neilgaiman.com]

De-abia plecaseşi. Te-am rugat să pleci. Te urmăream de-a lungul molatecii poteci, Pân-ai pierit, la capăt, prin trifoi. Nu te-ai uitat o dată înapoi! Ţi-as fi făcut un semn, după plecare, Dar ce-i un semn din umbră-n depărtare? Voiam să pleci, voiam şi să rămâi. Ai ascultat de gândul ce-l dintâi. Nu te oprise gândul fără glas. De ce-ai plecat? De ce-ai mai fi rămas? www youtube com/watch?v=Mv8lW_NY5ek

I feel very strongly that every artist has one central story to tell. The struggle is to tell and retell that story over and over again, visual form, and try to challenge that story. But at the core that story remains the same. It's like the defining story of who you are. -Gregory Crewdson, "Brief Encounters" http://www.gregorycrewdsonmovie.com/

I created the Katie Fforde Bursary because I was a "nearly there" writer for a long time. I found it a bit of a struggle to pay my annual subscription to the Romantic Novelists' Association so when I finally became published, I wanted to give something back. That's the bursary, a year's subscription and a place at the conference. It does seem to give people a valuable boost to their confidence.

Once you embrace that continuous change is a natural process for your growth and evolution, you will be reminded that who, what, and where you are now is a temporary condition. Understanding this fact is foundational for hope, positive change and resilient transformation.

...as long as we have the choice to read what we want, I suspect Twain and Homer and the rest will always be with us. The stoutest old writers ebb and flow in popularity; tastes and political correctness and educational trends also ebb and flow, and we have a tendency to embrace the short view because it makes better news stories. So the joy of literature may not be at a high water mark right now, and yet you can walk into the Target store of your choice and pick up Catcher in the Rye. Beauty floats, I guess, along with sorrow and hope. (http://www.wab.org/events/allofroches...)

Not darkness, for that implies an understanding of light. Not silence, for that suggests a familiarity with sound. Not loneliness, for that requires knowledge of others. But still, faintly, so tenuous that if it were any less it wouldn’t exist at all: awareness. Nothing more than that. Just awareness—a vague, ethereal sense of being. Being . . . but not becoming. No marking of time, no past or future—only an endless, featureless now, and, just barely there in that boundless moment, inchoate and raw, the dawning of perception . . .

When you care deeply about someone or something, repairs are worth your investment of time, energy, effort, heart, and resources. Whether it is to repair a broken trust or a damaged relationship, take the initiative to make it right and make it better.

When people around you do not support your personal growth and reinvention, it doesn’t mean you are on the wrong path or that you have to listen to them. Just because someone continues to judge you from where you were doesn’t mean you have to stay there.

When you redefine something, you stretch your perception and open your mind to new ideas. You discover new meanings and get to see your previous style, behaviors, or beliefs from an expanded vantage point. Consider new options which would make your life more meaningful, bring more fulfilment, and encourage you to shine.

He had a collection of science-fiction films on DVD and Blu-ray discs, and although he said he’d seen most of them before, Caitlin was surprised to discover how many of the cases were still shrink-wrapped. “Why’d you buy them if you weren’t going to watch them?” she asked. He looked at the tall, thin cabinets that contained the movies and seemed to ponder the question. “My childhood was on sale,” he said at last, “so I bought it.

Like the butterfly, you will also go through stages of change, rebirth, and new beginnings for transformation and renewal. Use these changes to create a clarity of purpose for a personal renaissance. Break out of your comfort zone, shed old layers, and stretch in your potential to become your best self. Be free of outdated limitations, experience rebirth and take flight.

We are all part of a loving gestation process. We are here to empower each other to face the journey through unconditional love. This voyage involves stopping over in conditioned configurations, such as our physical reality. Yet, these are all provisional abodes, and every step through this voyage entails becoming more whole, retrieving further pieces of the soul. All human sufferance derives from lack of awareness of this process. Read on at: //www.facebook.com/notes/astroshamanism...

And Wolfram knows about cellular automata?” “Oh, my goodness, yes,” said Anna. “He wrote a book you could kill a man with—twelve hundred pages—called A New Kind of Science. It’s all about them.” “We should totally ask him what he thinks!” Caitlin said.

When change happens, you have a choice for how you are going to respond. You can either lose your composure and react impetuously or use the event or situation as a learning opportunity to shift your mindset and respond appropriately. Begin to notice your responses when changes occur and do your best to choose a breakthrough over a breakdown.

Passion is that strong feeling of emotion, ecstasy, or excitement which you feel for something or someone. This sizzling desire can light up your soul and fuel your commitment to be persistent in spite of obstacles and unfavorable circumstances. This depth of motivation can transform your life unlike anything else and reignite your purpose and your passion.

No matter the experiences you face in life, the most valuable lesson is your ability to keep love in your heart and to strengthen your faith.

Once opening the door was a promise of happiness, now my surroundings seem to have appointed me the keeper of sadness.

"Savile was not only abusing all children with or without disabilities in group settings or in hospital settings, he was also invoking belief systems, doing rituals, making children believe that he had extra powers and that if they didn't obey him they would be published in an after life." "There are special things in, especially, for example, Alistair Crowley that can be used to frighten children even more, but the use of cloaks, of making spells, of making threats, of threatening what will happen after death too is something that the 5 different people that spoke to me about Jimmy Savile said that he'd been part of." - Dr Valerie Sinason, Clinic for Dissociative Studies, London

~The spirit of a woman~ Is softer than the morning breeze, Tough as nails and strong as steel, But flexible as the willow tree. The heart of a woman Is the foundation of humanity, Grander than the mountains high, But deep as the ocean blue. The wisdom of a woman, Spans across all lands, Withstands all test of time, And is never ending. ~by nancybbrewer ~ www.nancybbrewer.com

You are the author of your own life story. You have the leading role and get to determine how you interact with your supporting cast and other characters. Without realizing it, you may have allowed the events in your life to write your story for you rather than taking deliberate action to write it in your own voice. What will it take to love your life story to create the happy endings you desire?

It was a beautiful Indian summer morning and perfect for savoring a few extra minutes in bed. There was a breeze blowing through my bedroom window; the air was as crisp as a bite of a fresh red apple.

Are you comfortable and willing to be of service to others, but find it difficult to receive the same in return? Why are people so quick to resist receiving, even when they need the help? Your ability to receive not only opens the space for great things to enter your life, but it returns a gift of grace to the giver.

Reconnect with who you truly are and what you really want rather than letting the outside world determine it for you. Reconnect with your purpose and your passion to know if your actions are helping you to achieve it.

The Jews have a saying worth remembering: "Whoever doesn't teach his son some trade or business, teaches him to be a thief." As soon as ever I can, I will make my children apprehensive of the main end for which they are to live; that so they may as soon as may be, begin to live; and their youth not be nothing but vanity. I will show them, that their main end must be, to, acknowledge the great God, and His glorious Christ; and bring others to acknowledge Him: and that they are never wise nor well, but when they are doing so. I will make them able to answer the grand question of why they live; and what is the end of the actions that fill their lives? I will teach them that their Creator and Redeemer is to be obeyed in everything, and everything is to be done in obedience to Him. I will teach them how even their diversions, and their ornaments, and the tasks of their education, must all be to fit them for the further service of Him to whom I have devoted them; and how in these also, His commandments must be the rule of all they do. I will sometimes therefore surprise them with an inquiry, "Child, what is this for? Give me a good account of why you do it?" How comfortably shall I see them walking in the light, if I may bring them wisely to answer this inquiry. -A Father's Resolutions, www.spurgeon.org/~phil/mather/resolvd...

Audio of interview - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=... "No I haven't been in a ceremony but I've seen the marks on them, I've seen the terror they're in and I've seen how they were before such events happened and how they are when they speak about it, how consistent they are in other things they say, so that there has been no reason from a psychological point of view to doubt their capacity to give good evidence, but its the police who need to find the proper corroboration." - Dr Valerie Sinason, Clinic for Dissociative Studies, London - talks about Private Eye magazine's suggestion that she "invented" the story published in the Express and that no abuse existed

Reconciling is about cleaning out your psychic closet. Do you have unresolved issues which are draining your reserves, causing hurt feelings, filling you with regret, or taxing your tenacity? Reconciling can allow you to move forward with acceptance and surrender, rather than berating yourself for what cannot be changed. Are you ready to enjoy peace?

Many people associate resolutions with failure because they’ve broken promises to themselves so many times before. They don’t want to fail again, and as a result, they avoid setting goals. For the wise people who do set resolutions, research has shown you are ten times more likely to improve your life when you do. What are you willing to do to make your dreams come true?

www youtube com/watch?v=wRHxEj1HGHM I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look, at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, the wind of banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land. But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness, if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine.

When you focus on connecting with your truest essence, that spiritual center of love and acceptance, you will reawaken, arrive, and thrive. Every morning you get to reawaken to a new day. And every night as you sleep, you will hopefully experience rest, renewal, and rejuvenation.

All right,” he said. “Since you asked, Webmind is an emergent quantum-computational system based on a stable null-sigma condensate that resists decoherence thanks to constructive feedback loops.” He turned to the blackboard, scooped up a piece of chalk, and began writing rapidly. “See,” he said, “using Dirac notation, if we let Webmind’s default conscious state be represented by a bra of phi and a ket of psi, then this would be the einselected basis.” His chalk flew across the board again. “Now, we can get the vector basis of the total combined Webmind alpha-state consciousness...

Mr. Lockery—my biology teacher—says if dinosaurs were magically brought forward in time today, we’d have nothing to worry about. Dogs, wolves, and bears would make short work of tyrannosaurs.” She nodded at Schrödinger, who was now padding across the floor in the opposite direction. “Big cats, too. They’re faster, tougher, and brighter than anything that existed seventy million years ago. Everything is always ramping up, always escalating.

A life lived well, or poorly, uses our resources to such an extent that it can weaken many areas which were once strong. Simply from wear and tear, we may tire and need to be re-fortified. Seek ways to re-strengthen so that you may perform at higher levels and increase your endurance to enjoy a life you love.

Affirmative words and actions confirm you are on the right path and help you attract what you desire. Whether you are reaffirming a dream, a goal, a previous commitment, or a person, reaffirmations will strengthen your area of focus. Begin reaffirming yourself and others through encouragement, paying attention, listening, and being grateful.

A unified team is a force to be reckoned with. When teams pull together to serve a higher purpose, the synergy builds momentum and helps everyone head in the right direction. When people reunite, pull together, have each other’s backs, and strive to achieve a clearly defined purpose, the culture is empowered to produce extraordinary outcomes.

Have you ever experienced a shattering in your own personal life? Where death, divorce, financial loss, failure, or disaster changed your world to such an extent that you weren’t sure how to rebuild again? Clearing the debris from the aftermath is a great first step. It enables you to start with a clean slate so you can rebuild exactly what you desire. Where can you begin?

Great leaders understand the importance of assigning the right people to the right positions. If you put the wrong person in the wrong place, no matter how talented or earnest they are, they will never reach the peak of their potential. Their strengths will be underutilized and they may never measure up to your expectations. Reassign to get the best out of others and the situation.

Somewhere between handling challenges, taking care of business, and juggling responsibilities, you may have lost pieces of yourself which you long to recover. Perhaps they were buried and forgotten long ago. Rediscovering is more than just being reminded of these golden treasures. It is being able to excavate your riches by pulling them out, polishing them off, and allowing them to shine again.

Have you forgotten me? by Nancy B. Brewer The bricks I laid or the stitches I sewed. I was the one that made the quilt; a drop of blood still shows from my needle prick. Your wedding day in lace and satin, in a dress once worn by me. I loaned your newborn baby my christening gown, a hint of lavender still preserved. Do you know our cause, the battles we won and the battles we lost? When our soldiers marched home did you shout hooray! Or shed a tear for the fallen sons. What of the fields we plowed, the cotton, the tobacco and the okra, too. There was always room at my table for one more, Fried chicken, apple pie, biscuits and sweet ice tea. A time or two you may have heard our stories politely told. Some of us are famous, recorded on the pages of history. Still, most of us left this world without glory or acknowledgment. We were the first to walk the streets you now call home, Perhaps you have visited my grave and flowers left, but did you hear me cry out to you? Listen, my child, to the voices of your ancestors. Take pride in our accomplishments; find your strength in our suffering. For WE are not just voices in the wind, WE are a living part of YOU!

My darling, My day’s sweetest moments are at dawn, for I awake with dreams of you still in my head. As the light touches my lips, I can almost feel yours upon mine. I imagine your footsteps coming up the walk, but today is the same as the day before. It is only fanciful thinking. As the first beams of morning sunlight dance across my weary shoulders I cry out, “How can you be so cheery and bright with so much sorrow across our land?” I know I must be strong and face another day, but tears fill my eyes. Suddenly, a white dove lands upon my window sill. Surely this be the omen that peace is near at hand. Just like the breath of the coming Spring, this little dove now brings me new hope. God has heard our prayers and our Southland will flower again.

Audio of interview - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=... "it's not surprising that in that first group I worked with over 20 years ago I had 2 accounts of Jimmy Savile being an abuser where I did support some people to go to the police but it was seen as something impossible to consider at the time." "We have improved a lot as a society in the last 20 years in accepting the reality of abuse, even though it's still so hard for us." "When we look at adults who were abused in childhood we find that nearly all of them had told somebody..." "The culture of the police has changed dramatically but 20 years ago when even counselors and social workers didn't think the abuse could be so widespread the police were obviously part of that culture too. I mean it's hard to realise that in the 1980s there was a point where it was thought that there were only 486 children on the abuse register. Now the government accepts that 1 in 4 adults will have been abused at some point in their lives. That is a huge change." "This is really different for any survivors listening now if a police officer doesn't listen sympathetically and offer a believing response then something has gone wrong because the police really do have this in their guidelines now." - Dr Valerie Sinason, Clinic for Dissociative Studies, London

بخشی از نقد کتاب یوز پلنگانی که با من دویده اند.برگرفته از سایت: www.atiban.com در ده داستان کوتاهی که در این مجموعه هست ، ساختار چیره بر داستان ها و ذهنیت " بیژن نجدی " ساختار " تقابل‌های دوگانه " ( Binary Oppositions ) است‌. نویسنده خود یک بار در تنها گفت‌و‌گویش با " فرنگیس حبیبی " از بخش فارسی رادیو فرانسه " یوزپلنگ " را استعاره‌ای از نسل ، نهاد ، آرمان و کسانی می‌داند که همانند " نوع " یوزپلنگ ، در آستانه‌‌ی انقراض و " مورد هجوم " هستند ؛ باورها ، هستی‌ها و کسانی که به گذشته‌های نزدیک یا دورتر ما تعلق دارند و شاید دیگربار در تاریخ تکرار نشوند . همین ذهنیت خاص و شرح تأسفبار تباهی ارزش‌ها و به تعبیر نویسنده "‌جاه‌طلبی‌های زیبا "‌ی یوزپلنگان است که همه‌ی داستان‌های کوتاه این مجموعه را به هم پیوند می‌دهد و میان دیروز و امروز ، طبیعت و انسان ، جهان برین و فرودین ، روستا و شهر ، آرمانخواهی و آرمان گریزی فاصله می‌افکند‌. "‌ یوزپلنگانی که با من دویده‌اند " به این تعبیر ، ادعانامه‌ای برضد عصری است که در روند هیاهوی پیشرفت صنعتی و اجتماعی کاذب ما ، اصالت هایش را از کف می‌دهد و از درون تهی و خوارمایه می‌شود‌. هشت بار چاپ یوزپلنگانی که با من دویده‌‌اند ( از سال 1373 تا 1386 ) از اقبال عمومی این مجموعه داستان خبر می‌دهد‌. تعلق جایزه‌ی ادبی مجله‌ی گردون عباس معروفی در 1374 به این اثر ، مایه‌ی توجه به آن و کسب آوازه‌ی نویسنده شد. داوری‌ها در مورد این داستان‌ها یا داستان گونه‌ها متفاوت بوده است . گویا " رضا قاسمی‌" دارنده‌ی سایت " دوات " گفته است :« همان یک داستان کوتاه سپرده به زمین نجدی به تمام داستان‌های کوتاه صادق هدایت می‌ارزد‌.» (2) داوری در کار ادبیات داستانی ، مانند همه‌ی دیگر عرصه‌ها ، در این مُلک همیشه افراطی یا تفریطی است و به جای آن که منتقدان ادبی نظر دهند ، نویسندگان در کارِ هم داوری می‌کنند ؛ چنان که خانم دکتر سیمین دانشور هم به گفته‌ی " زراعتی " پس از ارزیابی شتاب زده‌ی رضا قاسمی در مورد داستان‌های کوتاه هدایت ، برای تعیین تکلیف بهترین اثر هدایت ، یکی از آثار رضا قاسمی ( چاه بابل یا همنوایی شبانه‌ی ارکستر چوبها ؟ ) را از بوف کور هدایت " برتر " دانسته‌اند‌. با این همه به پندار ما آنچه بیش‌تر باعث اقبال خوانندگان به مجموعه‌ی مورد نقد گردیده ، شاعرانگی و برجستگی زبان داستان‌هاست ؛ وگرنه بعضی داستان‌ها به اعتبار ساختار نوع ادبی داستان کوتاه و برخی به اعتبار ذهنیت اجتماعی واپسگرایانه ارزشی ندارند‌. در جمع بندی نهایی می‌توان گفت در همه‌ی داستان‌های این مجموعه ، وجه شاعرانگی بر نوع ادبی داستان

From an interview with Susie Bright: SB: You were recently reviewed by the New York Times. How do you think the mainstream media regards sex museums, schools and cultural centers these days? What's their spin versus your own observations? [Note: Here's the article Susie mentions: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/05/nat... ] CQ: Lots of people have seen the little NY Times article, which was about an event we did, the Belle Bizarre Bazaar -- a holiday shopping fair where most of the vendors were sex workers selling sexy stuff. Proceeds went to our Exotic Dancers' Education Project, providing dancers with skills that will help them maximize their potential and choices. This event got into the Times despite the worries of its author, a journalist who'd been posted over by her editor. She thought the Times was way too conservative for the likes of us, which may be true, except they now have so many column inches to fill with distracting stuff that isn't about Judith Miller! The one thing the Times article does not do is present the spectrum of the Center for Sex & Culture's work, especially the academic and serious side of what we do. This, I think, points to the real answer to your question: mainstream media culture remains quite nervous and touchy about sex-related issues, especially those that take sex really seriously. A frivolous take (or a good, juicy, shocking angle) on a sex story works for the mainstream press: a sex-positive and serious take, not so much. When the San Francisco Chronicle did its article about us a year ago, the writer focused just on our porn collection. Now, we very much value that, but we also collect academic journals and sex education materials, and not a word about those! I think this is one really essential linchpin of sex-negative or erotophobic culture, that sex is only allowed to be either light or heavy, and when it's heavy, it's about really heavy issues like abuse. Recently I gave some quotes about something-or-other for a Cosmo story and the editors didn't want to use the term "sexologist" to describe me, saying that it wasn't a real word! You know, stuff like that from the Times would not be all that surprising, but Cosmo is now policing the language? Please!

عام فى ميدان الثورة" كتاب جديد لـ"محمود عبد الرحيم" الثلاثاء، 31 يناير 2012 - 10:52 غلاف الكتاب كتب وائل فتحى صدر للكاتب الصحفى محمود عبد الرحيم كتاب "عام فى ميدان الثورة.. وجوه وصراعات وأقنعة"، يشارك به حاليا فى معرض القاهرة الدولى للكتاب، إلى جانب كتابه "السينما العشق والتأويل" الصادر مؤخرا. والكتاب الصادر قبل أيام عن "مكتبة جزيرة الورد" يسجل شهادة الكاتب والناشط السياسى محمود عبد الرحيم على عام من الثورة من واقع تجربته الذاتية، علاوة على توثيق أدوار من شاركوا بفعالية فى الثورة من أناس بسطاء تم تهميشهم لصالح تسليط الأضواء على سماسرة الثورة والانتهازيين الذين سعى الكاتب لينزع عنهم أقنعة البطولة الزائفة، إلى جانب إظهار حقيقة دور المجلس العسكرى وجماعة الإخوان لاحتواء الثورة، وتحويلها لحركة إصلاحية محدودة الأثر والتأثير بدعم أمريكى، دون تغيير ميراث مبارك ولا بنية النظام القديم. وفى الكتاب أيضا توثيق لتجربة تأسيس عبد الرحيم للجنة الشعبية للدستور المصرى وميلاد "دستور الثورة" وما واكبه من صراعات وتحديات، بالإضافة إلى مقالاته التى ترصد وتحلل مجمل الأحداث التى مرت بالثورة خلال عام. وينقسم الكتاب الذى يقع فى 240 صفحة من القطع المتوسط إلى جزئين الأول بعنوان "مشاهد من ذاكرة ثورية"، والثانى بعنوان "مقالات بروح ثورية"، واستهله الكاتب بإهداء وجهه "إلى أرواح شهداء الثورة، ومصابيها، وكل من ساندها، ولم يكفر بها، واعتبر إكمال مسيرتها واجبا وطنيا وأخلاقيا، من أجل قيم الحرية والعدالة والكرامة الإنسانية، وبناء "مصر الجديدة" المنتمية للشعوب، لا للحكام". وقال عبد الرحيم فى مقدمة الكتاب: ميلاد هذا الكتاب بدأ خلال جمعة "استرداد الكرامة"، حيث كنا نقترب من نهاية العام الأول للثورة، ولم نلمس شيئا من أهدافها، وإنما عودة إلى آليات القمع وفرض الأمر الواقع السلطوى بالقوة، بالترافق مع بروز الانتهازية السياسية المدمرة لكل الطموحات الثورية، والتحالف الرباعى (العسكرى- الدينى- الأمريكى- السعودى). وخشيت أن نفقد مع الوقت حتى ذاكرة الثورة، وسط حالة التشويه الممنهج لها، المترافق مع إدعاءات للبعض تسير باتجاه ما أسميته بـ"تزييف استباقى لتاريخ الثورة"، باصطناع أدوار وبطولات لم يكن لها وجود على الأرض، أو محاولة نفى حقيقة "شعبية" الثورة وعفويتها، وأن ثمة غياب لقيادة أو تنظيم يقف وراءها فى أى من مراحلها، ما أنجحها فى البداية لصعوبة السيطرة والاحتواء للملايين الرافضة، وما أصابها، كذلك، بالارتباك والنكسات فيما بعد، لافتقاد قوى منظمة تستلم السلطة، وتفرض إرادتها الثورية، وتهدم بنية النظام الفاسد المستبد السابق الذى ثرنا عليه، بغية بناء نظام أفضل ينحى نحو الديمقراطية والعدالة والاستقلالية ودولة المواطنة والقانون. وأضاف "ومن ثم عمدت إلى دعوة من شاركوا بفعالية فى الثورة، خاصة من الكتاب إلى الإسراع بتدوين تجاربهم، وقمت أنا بدورى فى تسجيل تجربتى مع الثورة، والأحداث التى كنت شريكا فيها أو شاهدا عليها خلال مسيرة عام كامل، مع التركيز على البعد الإنسانى للتجربة التى يتماهى فيها الخاص بالعام، وذلك عبر مشاهد مكثفة لها دلالاتها المتعددة، التى تكشف، بدرجة ما، معالم المرحلة من المنظور الذاتى، وتُسقط الأقنعة عن وجوه عديدة، وصراعات بدأت، ولم تنته بعد وتلقى فى ذات الوقت، الضوء على حالة المد والجزر الثورية، وعلى أبناء الشعب المجهولين الذين شاركوا فى صنع الثورة، ولم يجدوا أحدا يذكرههم، ولو بشكل عابر، رغم أنهم رموز حقيقية للثورة، وليس هؤلاء المتاجرين بها. وحرصت أيضا، هنا على توثيق تجربة تأسيسى لـ"اللجنة الشعبية للدستور"، وما صادفها من عثرات وتحديات حتى خروج "دستور الثورة" للنور، وما تلاه من معارك حامية الوطيس. وتابع الكاتب الصحفى "لم يكن بد، فى هذا السياق، من جمع المقالات الصحفية التى اشتبكت خلالها مع تفاعلات الثورة منذ أيامها الأولى، والتى تسجل رؤيتى وتحليلى للأحداث فى مراحل تطورها المختلفة، كجزء لا يتجزأ من شهادتى على هذا العام المتخم بالحوادث والمواقف والصدمات." http://www3.youm7.com/News.asp?NewsID...
