And I can't find any auditions being held near me.
And my dad says i should make like these short shows and put them on youtube and then get discovered that way.
And I will but in the mean time I want something else to get discovered by!Please any way just tell me please!!!!!

2 years ago I started writing an erotica story. I have put it down and picked it up several times and I just want to be finished with it now. I got stuck recently and decided to write an outline (gasp, I know) because the events just weren't linking up in a cohesive and chronological way. I felt like my scenes were scattered.

But I have realized that this story is way too close to the truth. It has twists and turns that are fictional but i am so mad because its just not as creative as I would like it to be. I got very discouraged because of it and put it back down the last few days..

Has this happened to any other writers out there?
Any suggestions.

Please be nice, Thank You.

This might sound strange, but I've always been an avid reader. And yet, I've always found that I DO judge books by their cover. What I mean is, there are a number of aesthetic factors that contribut to me purchasing a book. I like books with elegant, simple covers and smooth velvety pages. And I won't buy a book that's less than 250 pages because I like them to be long and thick. In other words, I guess I hate the look and feel of genre paperbacks (like John Grisham novels). Even if they're good books, I won't buy them. Or if there are two versions of a classic book, I always get the elegant more expensive one. I've always wondered if it's just me who does this or if other people feel this way too. ???

Even directing me to a detailed website with several examples would help. Do I outline story first? do I do characters first? does it matter if my grammar isn't great, wouldn't an editor fix it?

After doing some research on how to clean an SLR lens, I found that the most common suggestion is to use hot breath and a microfiber cloth to clean the lens in a circular motion. This appeared to work at first. However, after careful inspection, very slight streaks were visible when the lens was viewed underneath sunlight or a bright halogen lamp. In other conditions, these streaks are not visible. The picture quality does not seem to be affected, but I can't help thinking that there has to be at least some picture degradation due to these streaks. Am I being a obsessive? Is there any way to remove these streaks? I just purchased this camera a week ago (a Nikon D40 with lens) and I want to keep it in pristine condition for as long as possible.

I am thinking that the streaks are due to a dirty microfiber cloth. Would washing the cloth be a good idea? If so, what should I clean it with? What should I avoid cleaning it with?

I love the hollow desolate plot,
some forgotten, some are not.
Whilt the dead lay in sunken ground,
A silver stone marks swollen ground.
Filled with what is not wanted there,
all it can do is exspell musty air.
Below and above, and what's inbetween,
these hidden treasures lie unseen.
But who really knows what lays below,
if anything, it does not show.
We stand above the shallow grave,
lay around waiting for someone to save.
Do not come and visit me,
I don't know you're there, I cannot see.
Don't stop by for condolences pay,
for this is not where I lay.

"There are years that ask questions and years that answer. Janie had no chance to know things so she had to ask. Did marriage end the cosmic loneliness of the unmated? Did marriage compel love like the sun the day?"

The following is a quote. Hopefully you can explain it. Thanks.

Any information supporting the idea that religious skepticism was prevalent in the nineteenth century would be great. I have half of my paper done and have already referenced things like the rise of science and Darwinism. If you would like to read it you can email me. I would love any criticism or comments.

I need to show how changing social classes and the increase of women rights play into RS as well...
Thank you for reading my question!

I am trying to show that TotD reveals religious skepticism preluding in Victorian times. I have a lot of evidence, but I need a few more key points. Has anyone read the book and perhaps remember any instances that could be used to support RS? Or any evidence in Victorian society and Thomas hardy's life alone?

Thanks.
