Whenever I rewrite my manuscript, I feel like I'm just rearranging the words a little, and there's no real improvment. And whenever I read it over agian, it seems to just jump from one action sequence to another.

Any hints, tips, or websites with info?

Thanks very much.

If there's life elsewhere in the universe they've got to think we're nuts for taking such poor care of the world we live in.

“Go to school Johnny so you can get a good job.” “Mom, I want to own my own business.” “What are you, a retard!? Henry! Come talk to your son, he is trying to deprogram himself!” Why do we figuratively and literally beat the entrepreneur out of our children and each other?

I have read somewhere that in 1901 Leo Tolstoy was nominated to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but he didn't. I don't know why.

A bit ago I asked the question:

Is it possible to validate good acts and the will to do good through syllogistic reasoning?

Now I postulate that EITHER it is possible OR Charles Manson was neither better nor worse than Mother Teresa.

So which is it or if you think it is neither, WHY?

I go out at night, and I lie on the ground.
I breath the fresh air, and I hear all the sound.
I look at the trees, as they reach to the sky,
Getting their last glimps of heaven, before they wither and die.
But the wind shakes a bronch, and a seed drops near,
And I know that new life is about to begin here.
I look at the moon, as it brightens the hour,
And I know this must be God showing his power.
I look at the stars, as the glisten above.
I know this must be God, showing his love.
And I look at the world, always changing, always new.
And I think God Almighty, an act way overdue.

“Be grateful for what you have!” This is often said in response to a person who expresses a desire to achieve more. Why are people who desire more seen as ungrateful for what they have? Why are people who have done well for themselves often spoken ill of, as if they have sinned by EARNING more?

I have asked this question before but I would like some other people's imput. I am thinking of doing a broadway themed bedroom because my life for the past 5 years has been theater and especially musical theater. I am thinking of painting one of my walls as a new york city skyline the other walls I will probably paint musical notes in bold colors. I also have thought of possibly putting red velvet stage curtains behind my bed and on my windows. I would then have show posters and playbills framed and put up on my walls. I was thinking of having a mirror above my desk with lights around it as they do in most dressing rooms. I also am going to see if hanging theatrical lights in the corners of my room would be possible. That is about all I have come up with so far so if you have any more ideas (no matter how radical they are lol!) I would be thankful. I am a teenage girl.

Right now I am in high school and I'm very interested in acting and is the thing i want to be my career in the future. I also currently live in IL and hopefully over the next couple of summers I can prepare myself to go to a college that has an acting program by taking acting/improv classes. Right now my strengths are in comedic acting, but hopefully I can improve on my dramatic. Also does anyone know any affordable agents and that are not a scam?
