I just want a simple one-three sentence plot line.
I'm trying to look for ideas.
Something like Kate DeCamillo's Tale of Desperaux
Fantasy maybe.

I am writing a book and i was goin to create a blog to share my idea with people and get peoples opinion on my writing and also give people an account of my progress and what is going on. I just want to make sure that if i post sample pages and chapters that i will be able to use the blog posts along with my own personal copies to show that the material belongs to me. I just don't want someone to take the material(unlikely) and claim it as there own and me unable to attempt to have my book published.

gift

The dusts of Palestine
Swirl inside my mind.
Warping my judgment it seems,
Deep and dark, part of my dreams.

Never thought I would attack,
Push on me, and I'm gonna push back.
My limits are reached, I'm at my end,
You just a joke, I know I've sinned.

I'm just a man, whose found his true love,
One holy gift, from those up above.
Some of us lucky, others not so,
Gather your things, it's time to go.

I do try to cope, It's my only hope,
If you understand, you know it's no joke.
I'll guard with my life, all that is mine,
Mess with my wife, just a matter of time.

Big book agents have been telling me that they cannot always sell books they are passionate about, as they have in the past. I am wondering if this has something to do with the Corporate takover of independent presses. I think big corporate presidents who are not passionate about literature would favor authors with media connections. And would also favor so called "formula genre" books over originality and great literature. Has corporate takover helped publishing or has it damaged what was a good thing? What do you think? Have you noticed a declline in quality over the past few years?

I need help paraphrasing it, line by line would be great.


"The Road Not Taken"
by Robert Frost

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

It's a brilliant novel by Eve Forward, in which many cherished fantasy cliches are nicely skewered.

here's this person that i'm not in love with but when he shows up i find his presence unbearable and i feel such immense attraction that i want to disappear. so the question is, since i don't like his character and think i wouldn't be compatible with him at all, how can i feel the attraction. please don't tell me it's the hormones, i believe everything has a deeper reason. thanx a lot.

I want to start selling my artwork. Right now I just draw dragons. Does anyone know a good website where I can start doing this? I've tried ebay and they charge a seller's fee. I wasn't too impressed with deviantart either. I don't want to pay any fee up front. Anyone know any good websites? Better yet, does anyone know how to create a personal website?

ok, i just turned 14 and have decided to write a novel that will be well over 100 pages. Now, here's the first couple paragraphs (i apologize that the chapters are rather short). What vibe do you get from it so far? (and no, it's not going to be a cheezy horror book, seriously, i hate those.)

sorry for spelling mistakes.

Nicole Brown Simpson’s sister is upset and calling for a boycott of the book. Awhile back, because of public outcry, publishers Harper Collins canceled publication of the book. Mr. Goldman’s father called the book “disgusting and despicable”.

Now, a smaller NYC publisher is going to publish the book with all rights being turned over to the Goldman family to go towards a $38 million dollar wrongful death suit. All of a sudden, Mr. Goldman doesn’t mind the book being published. Probably figures they won’t get any money otherwise. OJ has been broke forever.

Personally, I won’t read the book. I think it’s tacky of him to write it, but that goes without saying, being the low life that is him.

how do you get that effect in pictures that makes the whole picture look bright and pro and different from average pictures?
is it a program like photoshop, or is it the camera that you have to work with to get that look?

for example, this would be an ordinary, any other day picture:

but these look pro....:

My dream career is to be an art therapist, and a lot of schools which I'm applying to require portfolios. I recently had my school schedule changed to include an art class - I got "Painting I". I consider myself artistic, but painting is my weak point, especially watercolor. Does anyone have any suggestions for improving or for preparing for this class? I've already done basics with acrylic and watercolor in a multi-media art class, but nothing impressive.
