What do you think?

as i walk to you
my heart breaks in two
what do you care
why are you there
why am i here
as i walk away i start to say
farewell
farewell to the evil
farewell to good
farewell to kind
farewell to the rude
farewell to the careless
farewell to it all
as i slowly fade away so no one is there
i start to think
was it worth it all?

and do only one thing, what would it be? Would you assassinate Adolf Hitler? Would you invest a in Microsoft in its initial public offering? Would you take the bullet for Lincoln or Kennedy? Would you introduce cures from modern medicine to prevent horrible epidemics? Would you prevent any instances of genocide? Would you go to an Elvis concert? Would you smoke a joint with Jesus right before He was crucified? Would you wait until after the Reserection?

Would you simply do whatever it takes to not lose you first true love so that you could always be in love?

Please understand whichever act you perpetrate will have far-reaching ramifications, so choose wisely.

I would LOVE to learn to play either the guitar or drums, because I'm such a big alternative music fan. <3 It's my life, basicly, considering I don't like sports, or any other extracurricular activities other than writing.

But I don't know which to learn! You see, there are bad sides and good sides to each.

Bad Sides:
Guitar: My older sister is learning guitar, and if she hears that I'm playing the guitar, she'll call me a copycat, but I love being my own person. It's what I'm recognized for in my class.

Drums: I'm not sure if I've got the rhythm. Is it something your born with? Or can I learn? And my friend wants to make a band with me, once i learn guitar or drums, but the person on the drums is rarely noticed. + Noise.

Good Sides:
Guitar: The guitar is amazingly popular, and it's a one person instrument that sounds great on it's own.

Drums: I'll be doing my own thing, and drums aren't so popular, so that makes me even more independent. Plus, they just look so COOL!

First off let me say I'm only posting this because I've decided to do nothing with the story idea. It's not my genre or even something I want to delve in to--too many land mines.

A friend approached me with an idea for a novel--hopefully I'm not the only one this happens to. The concept is you have two young married couples who are both parents of very young children (under 2). They hang out because Wife A and Wife B are cousins. Wife A and Husband B start sleeping together--sneaking around, even having sex downstairs while their spouses and children are sleeping upstairs. Wife B kicks out her husband without knowing who the "other woman" is. Wife A convinces her husband to take in her lover in the "just helping a friend guise". Not too long into that situation Husband A realizes what's going on. He finds letters between the two conspirators and confronts his wife. She denies they ever slept together, even though he has read in her own hand an admission of doing just that.

I'm a huge Salvatore fan, and I love his writing style. However, many other avid fantasy readers think that he has a problem with adding too much detail in his stories. One example I have heard many times is "why do I care to hear about which way Drizzt swings his scimitar? It's cool every now and then, but it gets old." What do you all think? Too much attention to detail?

I'm writing a novel and I am looking for names. I don't want them to be too complicated that the readers aren't going to be able to pronounce. I also want the names to mean, or relate to the characters that I have created. I want to know where I can find these kind of names. I also want to know is it ok for a writer to create their own name and meaning for the name that they created? I also would like to know what is the strategy for finding new names. Help will be aprreciated.Thank you!

A friend of mine who is (15 turned em 2weeks ago) is paranoid about death since then.

He says:

Life is passing by a blink
He doesn’t want to die or neither he wants to hurt while dieing he wishes he was never to be born and have this feeling in his mind tormenting him 24hours a day
Of never waking up again...of never seeing the light…my stuff anything I don’t want my life to end and it’s like I never existed and bring sorrow to ppl that now me
He doesn’t sleep neither now he is afraid of dieing while doing it
He thinks death is like when u sleep but without having a dream u just donnu that u r sleeping till u wake up
Death brings sorrow to the ones around u
In 5years time I will be 20……and there goes a quarter of my life…if I even get to 20….
he says if god loves us so much and god says "be grateful I gave u life"…he says this isn’t life this is torture u will die someday and that cant be helped this is not life....if god loves us so much why did he make us then make us die

What exactly do I need? What should I wear? Is it okay for a skilled friend to take the shots or should I go to a professional photographer? How many shots should I have and what should they look like? Do I need to include something other than just photos? Are comp cards required?

Autopilot -for Sid-

Traveling down this road alone,
my heart feels it's made of stone.
As I stare off into space,
tears are streaming down my face
It seems unfair, what you've done,
to you, to me, to everyone
It makes me wonder, why you're gone.
But remembering, I am not mad,
Can't blame you, I'm only sad
The only thing for us to do,
Is love, remember, and miss you.

I'm 16 and just enrolled in a guitar course in school. I'm very serious about purchasing one that i can use that is durable and has great sound. I can't decide on a brand tho. i'm looking at a Gibson/Epiphone on ebay for two hundred. Seller is 99.7% positive feedback. Would this be a good beginner? Or would it be a lot of upkeep? Can i take it wherever (e.g. to a friend's to play, to my school for class, etc.)? If you have any specific brands or models i would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Anyone know how much money an author would get if they sold an average selling fantasy/adventure book through a publisher in today's time? And instead of just selling the publisher your book for a certain price, can you take a certain percent of the sales? Thank you!
