Originality
I am no longer frightened of being unoriginal. See, in writing, originality gets exalted to a godlike position that it never should have occupied. Editors have rejected stories of mine, saying that my plot and characters and writing style were all wonderful, but that "I've heard something like this before." Critics blast writers for writing something similar to something that was once written elsewhere. (I'm not talking plagiarism, here, just similarity of topic.) The thing is, in fiction, originality of idea really isn't all that important. They say it is, but it's not. What's important is how you present that idea.

Rape Awareness
A woman is more likely to get raped in the military than get killed by the enemy. The Pentagon's own numbers say that a woman has more to fear by being raped in the military than being killed in action. As of July 24th of last year, 100 women had died in Iraq. In 2007 alone, there were 2,212 report of military sexual assault. Only 8 percent were referred to court martial. In the civilian world, 40 percent of those arrested for sexual assault are prosecuted.

Things All Men Like and Dislike
I see a lot of women who unfortunately don't know what a guy likes and they don't like. To provide some clarity on this apparently fuzzy subject, I have provided a list of things that men like and do not like, to help the ladies know how to please us, but when also to recognize the things that we don't approve of.
