“There’s no such thing as Flickr Pro today because [with so many people taking photographs] there’s really no such thing as professional photographers anymore.”
Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo! [SOURCE]
However, she does admit that there are photographers with “different skill levels”. Okay, I was trying to give Flickr some credit and the beneift of the doubt with this new redesign. But this comment by the Yahoo CEO just shatters any confidence I had. It’s sad, I guess there’s no more professional CEO’s anymore, just different skill levels. Unbelievable ignorance.

One of the dumbest things ever uttered by a CEO who obviously thinks there are no artists because anyone can do it. It’s so easy.

10 Top Tips For Moving A Plot Forward
1. Complete a detailed biography of your protagonist and antagonist.
2. List the changes you’re going to inflict on these two characters.
3. Start your book when something meaningful happens. This is called the inciting moment. It should be shocking, exciting, and interesting.
4. Never start with back story.
5. Create conflict from page one. Your characters need problems and reasons to solve them.
6. Show motivation. Great characters want to achieve their goals more than anything and will pursue them at any cost. What are your characters most afraid of losing? Make them fight for it. Desperately. Irrationally.
7. Tell a story in scenes. Scenes hold a story together. The number of scenes depends on your chosen genre, and your novel’s length.
8. You should have one plot, and one subplot.
9. Fiction needs a Dark Night of the Soul. Move your story to the moment when things look impossibly bleak for your protagonist. This is usually a few pages before the end of your book.
10. Create an outline. It doesn’t have to be detailed but everything in life works better when you have a plan.
