. . . would you list along with it as great movies of the century? Do you think of these primarily as entertainment or as art? If you were classifying them for a reference book would you be more likely to discuss them under the heading Theater and Film or Television and Movies?

I'm speculating that Pontius Pilate, who according to the Christian Gospel was hesitant to execute Jesus, instead sends Him to Rome, even though He wasn’t a citizen of the Empire. I’m guessing that this would be a compromise that the Pharisees would tolerate, while Pontius Pilate would be able to keep his conscience clean. What to you think would be the consequences of this? Feel free to go into details.

Please do not reply with an answer that deals with this as a history speculation. I’m simply posing a purely hypothetical situation and do not intend any offence. Thank you in advance.

I have written a couple of novels, and would like to try my hand at a crime suspense novel set in the 1920s/30's LA, but would but to not want to just write in the suspense genre. I would like to put some romance, as well as some elements of historical fiction and mystery. Have you read many good suspense novels that are like this, or are they all pretty true to thier genre? I just think it would be interesting to add somethings, just to think outside the genre and make the work more literary.

Who thinks the perfomance of Russel Crowe in A Beautiful Mind was better than Denzel Washington's in Training Day? Who do you think wants 10 points, I mean is the better actor? :-)

Do we exist or are we a figment of our own imagination? Are we, or should I say, am I perhaps the only being here and just making things up as I go along?

My job requires me to research and write articles, mostly historical and some dealing with contemporary issues arising from historical events. For my last assignment I was given 32 to write, and I still have 10 left. I've been coming in to work, writing for seven hours a day, and starting the same thing next day. I'm exhausted mentally. I love the feeling of finishing big assignments like this but it sure is taxing getting there. Any suggestions?

I'm worried because my deadline is this week and the articles are taking me forever, much longer than I expected. Part of the reason is, for each one I have to start my research from scratch, and they are mostly contested issues such as Aboriginal land claims and Aboriginal relations with the government.

I'm stressed out beyond belief! I keep dreaming about work, and I've started procrastinating because every time I start writing again my brain goes into overload!

Any suggestions from you writers out there? Especially journalists?

Action, horror and comedy. Those are three genres I'm working on but, my brain is dead and ran out of ideas...

I Do Not Love You...
I do not love you as if you were salt rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hands
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

-Pablo Neruda

Its so simple and sweet.

I know the rules for standard diolgue punctuation, but if a character is thinking speech in an inner monologue, how is that punctuated? Should it go within quotations, or does it merely get written in italics?

Serious answers only, please. All others will be reported for point farming. Thanks.

Suppose your memory was completely wiped out. You could not remember from one moment to the next what had happened. In place of memory, you are given the gift of seeing the future. Now describe this experience; specifically how it affects your perception of the passage of time.
