Arts & Humanities - 20 August 2007

hey everyone. Since I was a young kid my dream has been to become an actor. Due to my family's influence on me I've grown to be a hopeless guy focusing on other things like going to the army or becoming a police officer. However, my wish to become an actor/movie star has never left the back of my mind. Please tell me what I should do to begin. I know its not easy at all but I will never give up after I take the first step... I just don't know which step should be the first one.

I'm writing a story about this guy - and the timeframe begins from birth to death. How can I skip a few years without really going into details and still keep it convincing for the reader. I mean, the characters have to mature and all that. I kind of need a transitional short piece. The story is after all a type of epic. Thanks
In case you wish to read a piece it is:
(note: read the prologue first)

If Plato had to write a letter to Aristotle about his philisophical viewpoints concerning his philosophies, what do you think he would write about? I need some help with one of my papers. Need ideas, opinions anything. I am having a writers block.

KayJay
Written by Semper Fi 83 8/20/07

I looked out in my garden,
And there on the fountain beyond my french doors,
Was a lovely and rare bird.
Whose call sounded like somewhat of a word.
KAYJAY! KAYJAY!

As I paused to reflect,
This new song charged my intellect,
And I found that I was now in a trance.
A hypnosis induced dance of sorts,
For my head had become an auditorium.
Right next to the Chrysanthemums!
All there was was the call of this bird,
KAYJAY! KAYJAY!

As I looked at the light,
The doctor was holding,
I thought back to that lovely bird.
That's when I yelled KAYJAY! KAYJAY!

Then the needle........sleepy.........

It was reported that Harry Potter author JK Rowling is working on a detective novel. What do you think ? Will you read it?
I probably won't because its not my cup of tea.

strange chunks of ice that fell from the sky and just in general all kinds of oddities. I had it in paperback form and it was originally published in the late 50's early 60's and I am not quite sure of the title, I think it may have been called "Truth, stranger than fiction" or something like that. Does any one have or remember the correct title? I would like to try and find another copy of it. it was great reading! Thanks!!!

What's it about? Why is it your favorite? Please include the author.

Also, would you consider Jules Verne a science fiction author? Is Arthur Clarke a good science fiction writer? What science fiction book would you recommend for me to read?

Here's the whole question:

Why do we choose our favorites? Is it possible that we respect one area over another due to a personal bias? If so, how can we identify these biases?

This is a theoretical question I came across. I thought it was interesting. Let me know what you think.

My new novel is a mystery/thriller. It is published by a small publishing house in NY. The reviews and reader feedback have been great, but my publisher's promotional budget is small, so I am looking for ways to use the web to really get the word out. I am a novice in this area, so I would appreciate the help.

The mansion overlooked a rough sketch of coastline and hard blue water which remained cold as December and crashed as white foam over jagged rocks that waited with stern paitence to punish any would- be swimmers.


Of course you don't have the whole plot, much less a paragraph to read [this is all I can really give without spioling my book] but I for one love my sentence. lol!

I have finally found an idea, but I need your oppinion? How does this sound. A teenage girl is blamed for her brothers death and her best friend trusts her and tries to find out the mystery of what really happened. Please tell the truth.
