Squeeze Page Optin

I received through email, an ebook titled harry potter and deathly hallows containing roughly 290 pages the first chapter reads as "The Escape". The book is incomplete. The last paragraph concludes with this:- "As they stepped back into the common room, Pansy rushed up to Draco and whispered urgently and Draco swore loudly. A second later his eyes squeezed tightly shut and his right hand gripped his left forearm as he dropped to his knees with a gutteral moan."
Please give me the link to this book. Whether this is written by JKR or not, it is very very interesting to read. Pl. help me!

Of course it’s not real! JKR isnt letting anything slip.

I built my web site in part with Flash MX 2004 and Sorensen Squeeze Video, if I download the new Flash 8 would that interfere with my web pages?

make sure you get the correct patches for it and it should work fine.

I sat watching the pigeons strut around my feet, their heads bobbing, pecking at the ground for invisible crumbs, stopping every so often to assess their place in life and then continuing with their arduous task. I began to wonder into the abyss of my thoughts, anywhere would be better than this dreary tube station. As I begin to sink deeper in I began to think how I’m not that different from those pigeons, grasping at the crumbs on the floor that fall from the top table, desperately trying to get their hands on the whole loaf of bread yet never quite reaching their goal. Although I’m at least a level higher than the pigeons, because to them I’m at the top table, I’m in control, me, Ian Shultz.
My trail of thought was interrupted by the horrid sound of grinding teeth belonging to the man to the left of me, this man being Charlie Dougs. A freak of the highest standard and yet for some reason a good friend of mine, something that I had never fully understood. Grinding his teeth was a trait of Charlie’s, a usual side effect of his addiction to speed, along with his usual shaking, normally most apparent in his hands. His twitching was not an effect of him taking the drug immediately but was a long term effect due to his long term use of the drug leaving him with paranoia and a severe case of anxiety. His non stop shakes left him less of a man and more of a constant blur of movement.
To my left was the complete opposite, hardly any movement at all, if it wasn’t for sight you wouldn’t even know Babié was there. Babié being short for Babiénco Del Fuegos, he was Puerto Rican and didn’t speak much, maybe because he didn’t understand much. It always took him a while to put two and two together and when he tried doing so it normally made seven. He was tall, with jet black hair, darkish complexion and I swear I never saw the man without a lighted cigarette in his hand. If a bullet didn’t get him first then I was sure lung cancer would, though to most a bullet is far from anywhere in there daily lives, for us three a bullet was as common as muck. Though not many people’s job tools include a gun, and their job description doesn’t normally involve killing for a certain price. Hitmen being the correct term to be affiliated with our sorts, though you’d think with such a well paying job we would have better scenery than a dingy tube station, complete with homeless men and the occasional smell of piss.
I glanced at the clock, 5:02 am, the train was late by 2 minutes, nothing major yet Charlie’s shaking and teeth grinding increased due to the fear of some terrible thing preventing the train from arriving on time. For the first time I noticed the carton of milk he had in his hand that he was swigging mechanically, trying to comfort himself with it somehow. As his imagination began to run wild and he began to loose what little control he had left, the train pulled into the station. I caught a reflection of myself as it screeched to a halt, me sitting in my creaseless black suit complete with white shirt and black tie, fitting attire for a man in my line of business, made me look rather stylish. My hair brownish verging on black slicked back though the stubble on my face let the side down a bit, withdrawing the effect of a sharply dressed man. Though compared to Charlie’s lightly bearded face, scruffy blonde shoots of hair I looked like the best dressed man alive.
As the people clambered off the train we rose stepping from the platform onto the tightly cramped coffin. Charlie going first, squeezing into a spot only a man of his weight could have squeezed into, him being the weight of a ragdoll on a diet, meanwhile me and Babié found it harder to manoeuvre in such a tight space, us being of average height and build.
When we eventually got through the group of people who seemed no longer separate entities but rather tightly packed together and could not be any closer, yet mentally couldn’t have been anymore distant from each other. I found Charlie sitting on a seat he had somehow found and leapt onto, though was finding it hard to stay on. The people next to him gave up their seats and moved as far away as possible from him, which was the recurring effect Charlie had on people.

This is really good, something I’d really want to read. I enjoy stories about rough and tumble people on drugs and I’m curious to know more about these characters. Anyway, this is pretty wordy without a lot of action, so my first thought is to edit down as much as you can. Also, try not to start with the word ‘I’ at the beginning. Something like, ‘The pigeons strutted around my feet,’ just sounds tighter IMO and I think 2 sentences would prevent that from running on so much.

By editing down, here’s an example of what I would do with one of your sentences:

‘As I sank deeper into my thoughts, I realized I’m not that different from those pigeons, desperately trying to get the whole loaf yet never quite reaching their goal.’

Pigeons don’t have hands It gets the point across without so many words. Just a few suggestions, but I really like these characters and it’s a terrific start.

Good luck!

I have 37 columns. But when running the report, MS Access keeps trying to squeeze them on 2 pages such that you can’t read the individual fields!

I tried following all the ‘Help’ instructions given in MS Access on increasing width size but it won’t work!!!!

I even put the report in Design view and tried to resize each individual field and title box but that didn’t work either because MS Access only gave me a limited (and insufficient) space in which to resize the boxes!

Help!

You only have a limited amount of space to work with on a report. Including all 37 fields on a single report just doesn’t seem possible.

Perhaps limiting the number of fields that you need to display by creating sub-reports would be a more efficient way of viewing and sorting data…

He walked out of the room quickly giving me a little peck on the cheek. I fell back onto the chair, I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world; I was certainly treated like it.
Then I walked out of the door into the garden in my, well his, baggy top over my swimming costume. I took it off and hung it up on the arm of the chair and dived into the pool. I was gliding under water. I heard a splash then I saw a body catching up with me. I went up for air.
“Ahh!” I sighed, lifting up my goggles onto the edge of my longish fringe that was sticking to my forehead. I got out of the pool and went to lay down on one of the sun loungers that were draped with a towel.
“Boo!” He screamed, squeezing my waist, I’m very ticklish there I must say,
“Ahh” I squealed turning around, putting my arm around his neck, kissing him. “Mmmm” I murmured under my breath. His kisses are always breath-taking. Maybe I should tell you about me, I’m Alice and at the moment I am on holiday in Mallorca with my boyfriend, Jack and his parents of course. Tonight we are going to dinner at the restaurant Can Curassa, we have already been there in the last two days, but we loved it there so much we had to go back. It was amazing food and no little kids to bother other people, just peace and quiet well apart from the sounds of the cooking on the stove in the kitchen, scraping of the knife and fork against the plate and the talking, thats most of the noise.
Then he stopped, he must have been hot or something because he did a bomb into the pool. He came up for air then shook his hair about, trying to show of in front of me.
“Come in please” Jack called from the deep end. He was bobbing up and down.
I was cold so maybe I should go for a swim, and then I bomb in next to him, making a big splash soaking Jack’s parents. “SORRY!” I called
“Don't worry” Mrs Cray said laughing “I was a little hot any ways” and then she lay back down again.
I swam some lengths, being watched by him, I was just warming up when something, actually some one, grabbed my legs. I was pulled towards the side, quite fast actually.
When I managed to get free from Jacks grip I swam up to him and floated in his arms, well actually he had his arms under water I was floating above them. Then he kissed me again, even more breath-taking than before.
Then we swam underwater into the little cave under the rocks, where the water was smoothly tumbling off, making the water in the little cave bubbly, we sat on the rocks that were in a shape of a bench and then decided to go back into the sun. Then Jack picked me up and plonked me on the double lilo then he jumped on him self, causing the lilo to tip over and me to go under. I floated to the top and was again plonked on the lilo, this time Jack was already on. His mighty muscles flexed, again showing off, just a thing he does, he knows it always impresses me, well I give him the thumbs up, I think that’s why he does it.
So after the little relaxation period on the lilo I was pushed of as a joke by Jack. Then I went to the sun loungers again and lay there reading my book, P.s I love you, I’ve read it like 3 times already but its an amazing book. Jack came and lay down next to me and started reading over my shoulder.
“Please don’t read over my shoulder” I said putting my book down.
“Sorry” He said, kissed my nose then went to lay down on the lounger next me. He had his tongue out like a dog would when they are out of breath. I looked over at him and started laughing at him. “Oh sorry” He said and pushed his tongue back in, laughing him self.
I got back to reading my book, lay there for about 40 minutes.
“LUNCH TIME!” Mr Cray shouted from the BBQ. I stood up. Then reached for Jacks baggy top and slid my head through the head hole, slid my flip-flops on and walked over to the plastic table, where I sat down next to Mrs Cray. I took a sip of my water then started eating my salad and chicken, I asked to start of course, that would be rude if I didn’t.
After lunch I went to text my mummy, just to tell her I am ok and that I am having fun. When I got to my phone I found I had one missed call. I looked to see who had called me at the time. I checked my messages. I called voice mail.
“You have one new message from Mummy at 2:00 on the 3rd June. “Hey Alice just to say, I hope you have fun and we are all looking forward to see you in 2 weeks, bye love you, oh and say hi to Miranda for me, thanks, bye love you” To delete the message press 3 to repeat press 4” I pressed 3 and slammed my phone shut. Then walked out side.
Jack suddenly caught me and pulled me closer to him and hugged me. It was on of those type of hugs that make you warm and comfy. “Mwa mwa” He said, his fingers trailing up and down my neck.
“Ahh” I squealed again, “That tickles” I squealed again. He laughed and walked off.
I am only 12 so please dont be really really really mean… thanks x

Okay..well let me start off by saying a couple of things. Pros and Cons.

Pros:
- interesting
- pretty good grammar (need some commas and periods here and there)
- pretty good plot for 12 yrs old.

Cons:
- When I was 12…I think I wrote better than that…I am not trying to be mean at all. It took me a long time (I am now 15) to get my stories the way they are. You need to work on your sentence structure.
- Some spelling errors
- Sentences don't flow that well. You went from one thing to the next….they didn't flow…here is an example of what it should be like:
I walked out of my bedroom with a pair of new jeans. I saw my mom and walked towards her. <<bad.
I walked out of my large bedroom into the hallway. I saw my mom standing outside her bedroom tapping her foot. Oh jeez. Quickly thinking, I started to walk towards her. <<Good.
See how the sentences flow better? I am not trying to mean, this took me a long time to get good at….and I am still working at it.

Overral….pretty good for 12. Make some revisions and move on.

WHAT ARE YOUR OPINIONS ON THIS STORY? WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT IT WHAT DON'T YOU LIKE ABOUT IT. IF YOU WANT TO READ THE WHOLE THING PLEASE POST YOUR EMAIL.

PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN IMPROVE ON MY STORY.

You have a very interesting beginning for the story and the potential for it to go quite well. I like the description of what the main character sees, etc.

Areas to work on:
Try to avoid using repeated pronouns as the subject so often. This is difficult when you write a story in first person like you have, but still, it gets annoying to the reader to repeat words. Try rewording the sentence to avoid beginning it with "I" or "she" always.

Your sentences get choppy at times. By that I mean short followed by another 2 or 3 shorts. Use more sentence variety. Maybe one would be a longer sentence where you would use connecting words like "therefore", "however", "as well as" etc. and then the following sentence would be shorter for making a quick point and emphasis.

Make sure your first sentence hooks the reader to want to read the 2nd and so forth throughout the first few paragraphs. Once they're hooked, it's a lot easier usually. When I write [which I do constantly] I usually spend more than half the time of the first chapter solely on the first paragraph.

Last item, your speech is not quite natural. Spell out the conversations as you would say them, and then write them down with a little less perfect grammar if necessary or whatever reflection you wish to use of the speaker's accent or dialect.

Overall, I applaud you for beginning an overall excellent job. I enjoyed reading the story and look forward to continuing to watch its progress. With only a little editting here and there, I see wonderful potential for it. GREAT JOB!

PS Don't look at it as a bad thing for editing. I've written many works now and always I have to go back and edit/change/alter/re-word and sometimes even completely re-do an entire section before it becomes perfect. It's all part of the process. You really are doing a great job!

okay. people's I'm trying to publish a book it is all ready to 330 already and I think it will end at 500 pages but I'm hoping to squeeze it to 400 pages instead.

I been doing this since mid 5th grade and still am doing this right at this moment. I been not doing it so long until some people was urging me to get it publish *though I was thinking that before them but somehow I was like kind of put down sometimes because how long the story line is* and right know I'm trying to see if there is anybody out there that can tell me this question.

another one:

Does Publishing cost anything? *cause I seen some go to 399 or something like that*

Do you know some other place beside New York City to publish it? *Like anywhere from Texas up to Colorado to Wyoming to Michigan? Anywhere near there?*

What do you should NOT do when your trying to publishing a book in a hurry? *though i'm not in a hurry . . . I don't think I am…*

How long does a book get publish in how many days? does it takes months, days, or years? *If it takes years then I'm mad at my self* non of yall people *

thanks! help me! it will help me out great!

If your book reads like your question, a traditional publisher will not be interested, but a lot of scams will be. You NEED to edit your work for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Being young or English not being you first language is no excuse if you want to publish in the English reading market. If you can't do it yourself, hire someone to help you (and it will cost a lot for editing and may not improve the chances of selling a manuscript if the story itself is not good).

Location of agents and publishers is not what you should be concerned about.. What is important is their business reputation, sales record, and book quality. Do your research. There are a lot of scams aimed at new writers, and you have to know enough about the business of publishing to know what a scam looks like before it bites you.

Traditional publishing does not cost you anything. Real publishers pay the author and make their money selling the books. Vanity (self publishers) and scams make their money off the author and could care less if the books sell. Real publishers place books on shelves in real stores (not just online). Real publishers care about the quality of the writing (vanity and scams do not).

No one in the publishing industry cares about the number of pages in a manuscript. They care about word count. Quite likely, you also need to learn about proper manuscript formatting. There are many good websites and books that cover it. Find one.

Traditional publishing can take 9 to 24 months from the sale of the manuscript to the day the books are available at a store. There is a lot of preparation that goes into the book - editing, marketing, cover design, proofing gallies, advertising, printing, nationwide distribution - all of it takes time. Vanity and scams do not take as long because they have nothing to loose (since they do not care about sales, they do not bother with marketing plans, editing and proofing, or distribution).

I am currently writing a research paper and I need at LEAST 3 more pages, and I am starting to run out of ideas and subtopics.
I know I can't magically squeeze out three more pages without more work and a bit more research, but do you have any good tips or tricks to help lengthen a paper a bit?
I'm not saying I won't do more research, I am just under a time crunch, like I said I'm not expecting to gain 3 more pages, just a few lines here or there. And I am not going to reformat the font sizes becuase it has pretty strict formatting requirements.

Lengthen contractions into two words. You will only get two, three characters out of this, but if you have a lot of contractions it will add up. This will also help if your paper has a minimum word requirement.

I am 5 months pregnant and after reading this book I am very disheartened and depressed. She has made out having two children to be such a negative experience, the only good comments are squeezed into the last 2 pages!
Now I know having my second child will be hard and a big adjustment but I was actually looking forward to it and thought it would be fun and rewarding too.
Surely this book is being a little over the top? It can't possibly be that depressing to have 2 kids or noone would do it, let alone go on to have 3!

don't take it to heart too much. kids are a joy! you will see!

I have a windows vista home basic. I am not sure why, but my text on my pages seem to be squeezed together and sometimes will not fit into size of format on screen, therefore, some text I cannot see because it appears cut off. And some text seems to overlap other text. What could this problem be? Pages on screen also appear squeezed smaller than usual. My screen resolution is normal so what else could it be? Please help it is driving me crazy!

I may not be exactly sure but I think it's got something to do with your actual screen itself if there's buttons on it you can adjust the size of the window.
