Is Your Child Drinking?
Growing teens do get moody as hormones kick in and they face new challenges at school. But if your teen has been acting strangely - or if you've noticed a few behaviors at once - it could mean your child is getting into trouble with alcohol.
Here's what to watch for:
- Alcohol is missing from bottles or cans in your home
- Breath mints or mouthwash-these may be an attempt to mask the odor of alcohol
- More sluggish and passive than usual; doesn't care as much about former interests or appearance
- Is unusually aggressive or rebellious
- Hangs around with different friends and is more secretive than usual
- Skipping school
- Grades are dropping
- Borrowing money more
- Alcohol hidden in your teen's backpack, car, or room
- Drunk and intoxicated behavior: your teen stumbles or moves awkwardly, has slurred speech and a dull, unfocused look or bloodshot eyes

Sports is queen!
- About four years ago I started a webzine called The Thunder Child, devoted to science fiction and fantasy in all media. Growth was verrrrrrrrrrrrry slow at first, but has gradually picked up so that now I'm making a respectable income from my amazon.com and google adsense. (Well, from adsense, anyway. Amazon is a drop in the bucket compared to what adsense brings in.)
Last year I put together a website showcasing the Tennessee Lady Vols (who won the NCAA championships last year), and just two weeks ago I put together a small website for Jacoby Ellsbury, a rookie outfielder for the Boston Red Sox - called a "phenom" and already very popular.
The Lady Vols site has about 20 pages...the Ellsbury site has 5. Compared with The Thunder Child that, started out with about 20, and is now at about 1,000 and growing.
Well, the hits on those two sports sites are more than three times what the hits on my Thunder Child site was during the first year of its existence. Since I've been a sports fan all my life, I reaaaaally wish that I'd started a sports webzine four years ago instead of this sci fi one, because I think my income now would be treble what it is.
No doubt about it, sports rules!
hosting more than one site on a domain?
- I use ipower, because I like their file manager interface. (Although it is not as good as geocities - but they annoyed me and I'll never use them again.)
Ipower does seem to outsource it's Help features to non-native-English speaking people, which can be annoying if you have problems, but although my site was down for a couple of days last year, for the most part I haven't had any problems where I need to deal with them.
My question is... what about hosting more than one site on a single domain?
My main domain is The Thunder Child, but I've purchased domain names for my two other web magazines, which I host under the Thunder Child umbrella.
This way I'm only paying $100 a year for one site, plus $18 for my domain names, instead of paying $300 a year for individual sites.
This makes sense to me, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any insights. Should websites have their own individual sites, expensive as that may be, or is "umbrella hosting" okay?
Re: How Many Friends Is Too Many?
- I worked with MySpace for a time, trying to develop contacts to send to my Thunder Child webzine. Got plenty of friends... but never got any benefit out of it...
Help me with my Publishing Empire
- I'm currently compiling an ebook from the various articles I've written for my webzine, The Thunder Child.
I'm not sure how many pages it's going to be....
But I've got a question.
In doing research, I found a website that says if I want to sell my book online, I need to have an ISBN number, and it costs $225 (at the present moment) for 10 numbers. That's no problem...
But, do I really need an ISBN number at all? I plan to take money via Paypal, and sell the book from my website and perhaps offer it for sale on Ebay.
If it's less than a certain number of pages.... is an ISBN necessary?
Or should I just get an ISBN regardless? I do intend to publish several more ebooks in the coming years....
Re: Kevin's Case Study #7 - How do you promote your new book?
- [quote="OmnivoreInk":2d2tfto6]When I started my The Thunder Child science fiction webzine, I waited a couple of months til I had some decent content, then I started emailing publishers and various authors asking for review copies of their books...and they sent 'em along with no trouble. Well... I'd say my success rate was about 85%.[/quote:2d2tfto6]
Hi Barbara,
In the past, I've tried requesting books from authors or their PR staff to review or use as Forum prizes with marginal success. Only 1 out of 3 or 4 authors actually wrote back via email.
Do you have any tips you can share?
Thanks
