Aside from Uncle Tom's Cabin, The Wide Wide World, The Lamplighter and Little Lord Fauntleroy which I already found. It has to be sentimental, i.e. female domestic fiction, so no Huck Finn etc.
Thanks!!!!

I have two near-completed works I would like to get published. PUBLISH AMERICA looks/sounds great, but colleagues keep warning me about them. What do YOU say?

I'm in 8th Grade and need to have a short story written by Friday January 5, 2007. I have run out of ideas!!!!!!!!! Please help! Please don't tell me how I can get inspired or to write about things I know about or am interested in. The story just needs to persuade my teacher to believe in something (i.e. magic, or that flying is possible). Any kinds of ideas would be helpful!

I'd prefer it if you found a map that shows groups of people not countries like Roman and Greek not England and France or whatever.

I am trying to find sources that document the social climate of this time and if there is a record of Chirstopher Columbus's argument/defense/plea for support of his journey. If possible, could you cite your source.

Need help wording a dedication/card/message, whatever you want to call it, for my longtime boyfriend. I am making a photo album of all our 2006 adventures and events, of which there were many. On the first page I want to include a message that convey's how great the past year has been and what it means to have him in my life and that I look forward to future adventures. I am not a very deep or emotional person though so I am having difficulty saying that sweetly, sincerely and succinctly or creativly. What would you say? I know it seems silly to ask others this, but if you are a writer maybe you are better with words than me, maybe at least your words will help me get going, or get in touch with my more compassionate side. However, a reminder this will be read by others since it is in a book. I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions. Thanks for the help!

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I don't know how to speak/sing in my head register. This will allow me to go higher without using falsetto. Could someone tell me how?

Okay, so I've written a novel and I'd like to try to get the attention of agents and/or publishing companies. I've read about the importance of putting together a synopsis, so that's what I'm doing now. From what I've read, the synopsis should be chronological. That makes sense, but it's easier said than done since there are two storylines taking place in the book that come together towards the end. (Some events in the main character's personal life seem irrelevant to her work until the end.) In the manuscript itself it flows from section to section. However as I try to reduce it to a very abbreviated synopsis it seems like I'm bouncing back and forth between personal life and professional life.

So do I follow the same pattern as the manuscript - bouncing back and forth as gracefully as possible in the synopsis? Or do I do the professional storyline first, catch the reader up on the personal storyline, and then pick up where the two come together? What would a publisher want?

Thank!
