2 years ago I started writing an erotica story. I have put it down and picked it up several times and I just want to be finished with it now. I got stuck recently and decided to write an outline (gasp, I know) because the events just weren't linking up in a cohesive and chronological way. I felt like my scenes were scattered.

But I have realized that this story is way too close to the truth. It has twists and turns that are fictional but i am so mad because its just not as creative as I would like it to be. I got very discouraged because of it and put it back down the last few days..

Has this happened to any other writers out there?
Any suggestions.

Please be nice, Thank You.

He sucks at the job. I used to be a supporter of Bush but I'm tired of his leadership and Cheney is always recluse you never hear anything from him anymore (but that is good).
Did Cheney basically prompt Bush to get involved in Iraq?

I heard someone on the radio complain that gas companies were "colluding?" Is it correct that gas is a commodity, and collusion would be impossible since commodities are undifferentiated goods whose prices are set by the market?

It's a ripe coconut, not young and not in the husk.

I tapped the equator with a heavy knife, I hit the equator on the edge of a brick wall, none of this worked. I finally gave up on getting two some what symmetrical sides, wrapped it in a towel and hit it with a hammer.

I know how to break it into PIECES but everything I looked up doesn't work and I'm afraid of saws.

I am 32 years old and have been having chest pains forever, atleast 9 months or longer but they seem to be getting worse and is accompanied by severe nausea, shortness of breath, pain on the left side, and around to the back. I have told my doc about this so many times and he just keeps telling me its anxiety but it is really starting, well has been, to scare me! Do you think this sounds like a heart attack? It's worse after I eat and I have noticed if I drink caffeine it makes it worse so that is cut out! Please let me know what you think. By the way I don't smoke or drink.

I recently installed an online game, played it, it thouroughly screwed up my computer, so I uninstalled it, but still have many strange problems. For instance, when I start my computer, the background picture comes up and for about 3 minutes that's all that comes up... not the icons, not toolbar, nothing. I can still summon task manager with ctrl+alt+delete, but still cannot access any programs or icons. Along with that, the computer is just generally acting weird. So I heard System Restore was a good idea. I tried that, but no matter what date I choose it always says "could not complete system restore" or something along those lines. Could anyone please tell how to force system restore or something or perhaps another way to fix the problems I've been having? Thanks for reading all of that.

i believe religion to be an easy answer to our existence that some one or few ppl came up with and naive ppl believed

btw jesus was not born in a manger or a carpenter, despite popular belief, he was from royal anescetoray how was rich and his job was could be classified as a politian. that is not to say he was bad person. he had good ethics and trully wanted to help ppl in general but espicially thoughs how were being "hurt" by the romans. that is why he was crusified.
many ppl wanted his legacy and teachings to live on so they vastly exageratted his story, so much so that his teachings and life story were almost completely changed.

btw jesus is not the son of god. he never stated this and NO one belived he was. if u dont believe me just look at contemporary bibles/ very old testaments.

how can some one believe in god wen there is not even the smallest amount of proof of his existence. theres about a million times more of a chance of santa clause being real.

Find and then simplify the Difference Quotient for the following functions:

1. f(x) = 4x - 2
2. f(x) = 5/( x + 2)
3. f(x) = sqrt(2x - 3)

If at all possible, please work out the steps too. It wont do me much good to just have the answers. Its been a while since Ive had to do this.

I just recently discovered a grey spot on the white of my daughter's eye. She has an annual exam because she requires glasses. Is this grey spot the Astigmatism the docor is talking about or is it something else? I am going to call in the morning, but I would like to know if this is something to worry about & know what it possibly could be before I call or I won't be able to sleep tonight. It anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have a very strange problem. I have a girlfriend of 3years, we have a good relationship together, its just there is this one girl who I see who comes into my work ( i work part time at myer) and when i see her, Its love at first sight, everything about her I like looks, the way she walks. Im just so attracted to her that its scary. I feel like approaching her and giving her my number or at least try to make conversation with her. The problem is, I have a girlfriend.. what the hell am I thinking! Ive been thinking about her for days now, and I dont know whats wrong with me, i haven't even spoken to her yet and I feel like this, Why am i so attracted to her?, the other guys think shes nothing special, but I somehow have a connection to her and Its scary because im not usually like that.

I dont know if i should try talk to her and become friends, because i dont want to feel anything more for this person as i dont want to hurt my girlfriend.
Has anyone else been through this?

Good? Not so good? If you think I should change something, what should I change it to (links, please!)? (And with any recomendations for changes, please remember that I'm a plus-sized girl, so stores like Forever 21 are not going to work. And that I really dislike Hollister/Abercrombie/etc. Thanks.)
