I read a lot, and am a prolific writer. I need a site that:

-Is free for signing up and submitting.
-Can take both one-part(or chapter) stories and multi-chapter stories
-Has all different kinds of erotic stories
-Is fairly easy to use

Help please? You can read my stuff when I've put it up there (;

dear friends,you must read this?
How 2 live your life

A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him.When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your God. If your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full."

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car."

"The sand is everything else - the small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls."

"The same goes for life."

"If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you."

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter."

"Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked."

"It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a cup of coffee with a friend."

I'm 14 years old and I don't expect to be a child star. However, I would like to start working towards a later career, ie how to find auditions, where to get head shots, how/whether to get an agent, ect.

At the end of the book, Jonas hears laughter, and thinks it could be the wind, or something like that, it's been a while since i read the book. Can somebody tell me what Lowry means by this? My friend told me Jonas is dying, but I'm not that sure. What do you think about the ending?

so, as for my first point, i want you to know that christians think islam is a false religion, because jesus said that no prophet will come after him; and muslims think the same about us because they refuse the idea that jesus is the son of god, jews don't even belive that the Masaya came yet... and everybody is certain that they are right, of course i'm not talking about a few hundred people, im talking about billions and billions over the generations, here are some figures:
Christianity 2.1 billion
Islam 1.3 billion
Secular/Irreligious/Agnostic/Atheist 1.1 billion
Hinduism 900 million
Buddhism 708 million (see also Buddhism by country)
Chinese folk religion 394 million
Primal indigenous ("Pagan") 300 million
