A Quote by Jane Yolen
Don't ever write just for a trend or fad, because it's a moving target, and by the time you get your work out there, the trend or fad is gone. Dig deep; don't be afraid to write fiercely. Expose your heart.

The market being in a trend is the main thing that eventually gets us in a trade. That is a pretty simple idea.

Whatever method you use to enter trades, the most critical thing is that if there is a major trend, your approach should assure that you get in that trend.

Don't google your name. Ever.
Don't “search” for yourself
on anything that glows in the dark.
Don't let your beauty
be something anyone can turn off.
Don't edit your ugly out of your bio.
Let your light come from the fire.
Let your pain be the spark,
but not the timber.
Remember, you didn't come here
to write your heart out.
You came to write it in.
As a songwriter, you're allowed to write anything, and as a person, I am all colors in the rainbow. I've been through everything, you know, so I can write a positive song like 'Better Get to Livin'' because that's my attitude. But that doesn't mean I'm happy all the time. You can't be a deep and serious songwriter without feelings. You kinda have to live with your feelings out on your sleeve and get hurt more than most people. The fear I might get hurt means I might not be able to write another song.

That's a science fictional tool.
