I am doing the printed program for a one-act festival and looking for the proper formatting for the actor's bios. I have 20+ bios that have been submitted to me; Each one has a completely different format. Some have designated past productions with underline/ALL CAPS/quotation marks and I'm trying to figure out which is the traditional or formalized way to format all of them so they are the same. Any thoughts, suggestions or samples I could take a peak at?

Do you get irritated when people say aKs instead of ask!? In a court room for instance.

Bare

As the hate spreads across the counter,
The fire burns shards of broken glass,
Blood winter freezes the smashed flask.

White smoke went off as a hazard.
A terrifying warning walked in.
He strips away each layer of me;
I wanted honest reciprocity.
Beneath neon lights of a midnight city,

Razorblades slash the body's beauty.
As if she flirts with a nightly car crash,
Dirt clings deeply to exposed bleeding flesh,
Unravelling slowly inside her mesh.
Lit lanterns dance against these stark skies.

Tumbling Down

In her longing, she abuses him,
She holds him down, against his will.
He escapes himself when nobody's around.

In the still evening, his mind meanders;
The mirage of boats lingers'
In his mind, he walks by the marina.

He once told her to take over his life,
"I can't handle this internal strife,
So won't you guide me?"

He tells me to take over,
The last moment he's got today.
All my dark thoughts locked up.

At the dock of the bay, as I stare;
I hope he makes me beautiful again.
Rough side of my wounded pride demands.

Feelings cause me to crave the contraband;
Actions that lust for denial;
Chemicals burn and crush the vial.

My story is set in England during the year 1799 -- in a small village. The thing is, I don't know what name I should give this village. It's a spooky and dismal place......gray skies, eerie fog, naked trees with gnarled branches...... I was thinking about eiher calling this place either "Grynmott" or "GrayThorne" What do you guys think?? Any better suggestions??

"Libertarian free will means that our choices are free from the determination or constraints of human nature and free from any predetermination by God. All "free will theists" hold that libertarian freedom is essential for moral responsibility, for if our choice is determined or caused by anything, including our own desires, they reason, it cannot properly be called a free choice. Libertarian freedom is, therefore, the freedom to act contrary to one's nature, predisposition and greatest desires. Responsibility, in this view, always means that one could have done otherwise.

please no dictionary definitions. if i wanted dictionary definitions I could look them up for myself, thank you very much.
what I am looking for is a clear, concise explanation of how these two concepts are DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER, because they often seem to be used interchangeably, and yet sometimes they are referenced in the same sentence as two separate concepts.

Every day I wake up at about
12:00 pm and write untill about 2:00 am, with a couple of breaks in bettween, to do whatever.
If I send a letter to a publisher or to an agent, that says I have written, such and such a number of books, will that better my chances of getting published?
I only have a highschool level education, but I have learned much more than the average person will learn in there lifetime.
Since of course all I do all day is find factual information that will help me write diverse non-fiction books.
I am starting to give up hope.
I am really wondering what I have to do to be one of best America writers.
Do you think the number of books I write will play a role in this particular situation?
I need words of adivce, I just can't do this anymore.
It's not like I am an odd ball or anything. When I'am not writting I am running, which I love to do, it immensely clears my thoughts and keeps me in shape.
This life of mine has just sort forced itself on me.
