How do the New York Times best-selling authors get started? What kinds of things are involved besides writing that an aspiring author should know about in the publishing world? Is it more like a hobby or more like a business/political venture?

I'm using it for a (spray) painting. And if you know the best type of paper to spray paint on, that'd be great.

I have been a writer for about 15 years now, and I am 29 now. I really want to make writing (screenplays, novels, short stories, and sitcoms) my lifes work. How would I get on at like a newspaper as a freelance writer? Or how would I get my stuff looked at? I would really hate to think that it all about luck and the whole "being in the right place, at the right time...".

HELP!!!

Think of the highway-driving mentality-- it's personal combat.

Instead of going around a slow-moving car, people tailgate it. They establish their dominance, and force the slow car to cede the right-of-way.

Have we created a painted, multi-lane arena with an established dominance hierarchy?

...Why don't other users of this website do what I do? If you don't like it...don't read it, or respond to it...if you see a question you don't like...skip it. If you get an answer to one of your questions that you don't like...skip it.

Why am I the only one who seems to understand that this website is "user's choice" when it comes to material they view...?!? It's very simple, people...ignore it...if you don't like it...(duh!)...

Hey guys, I want to move to Canada to become an actor. I'm actually in Canada right now visiting my aunt
and friends. While I was here I entered a little something (I wont go into to much detail) that made me want to come back and become an actor. But heres the problem, I look pretty ok in real life, but on camera my nose is curved. Really badly. I want to be an actor but before I follow my dream I want to at least make sure my nose is in proportion. Trust me guys, it's pretty bad. On camera anyway. So, how can I get this fixed and is there a way that doesn't include plastic surgery? Btw, I'm 15 if anyone want to know. And yes I know it's wrong t want nose fixing at this age but it's really bad on camera. And what if it starts looking like that in real life?

Thanks guys!

Btw, my favorite actor is Micheal Seater. Just throwing that out there^-^

1. Which of the following statements concerning immigrants to colonial America during the first half of the eighteenth century is correct?

a) Virginia experienced the greatest influx of new settlers.

b) Most German-speaking immigrants settled in Pennsylvania.

c) Slave imports fell

d) Newly arrived immigrants usually settled in New England.

The only one that I am sure is not correct is 'c'. Because the book plainly shows that slavery rose during this time.

This one is a true or false statement.

A growing transatlantic trade undermined the entreprenueurial ethos in America and indreased concern for public welfare.

Evangelicalism refers to religious beliefs or churches that emphasize--

a) partaking of the sacraments.

b) performance of good works as the keys to salvation.

c) a hierarchical structure and leadership.

d) individual faith and authority of the Christian gospel.

Any help you can give me on these three questions would be appreciated.
