I have to do a "one man play" that has to last at least 15-20 minutes, and monologues must have a theme.

Thanks for any help!

If you could invent anything what would it be and why. I would invent a teleporter, it solves alot of problems we are having today. =)

I'm 14. I have a job and work every Thursday Saturday and Sunday. I'm also a freshman going to a private school. I have had some very funny experiences(Enough to fill a 200 page book I'm sure). Should I take these experiences and turn them into stories?

thake this quote:

"She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
signifiying nothing."

Macbeth says this rite after his wife kills herself. i guess it's supposed to mean somethin about the meaning of life. anyhow, any thought about why he'd say this or anything'd be sweet.

here's my essay question:

is manbeth right in the above quote? is life a "tale told by an idiot?" or is there something more to "all our yesterdays"?

My son has started writing a novel about a week ago, and so far the word count is 2,611 words. His novel is about a girl who meets a witch in her dreams. He has only written another story that was around 6,500 words, so he still has the habit of making the long story short.
What font size should it be? Currently he is using 11 font size Book Antiqua.
All these questions answer my 9.5 year old son, eager to write. :)

When you lose your parents, you realize you are in a new world with a whole different slant on your identity. It's the emotions that are perfect for poetry. This is a poem about how empty a grave and the markings and the monuments are when you know you'll never see them again and you are as empty somedays as the grave is.



New Path

Barren and cold, it’s not without its own beauty
lying in an open field where dreams once were.

A simple marker, evidence of a complete lifetime
of experiences none of which will ever be known
except to those who look at it now with the pain
that it represents.

I bring flowers from time to time
only for them to die as well
but still the living pay homage
to the name and the space
as if this is really the place
where love lies in wait.

Empty house, empty heart
all that I knew is gone away
I must buy a new pair of shoes
it seems I’ll be walking another path.

you know how it goes, you come up with a great idea and start ploughing throught it, words flowing effortlessly through your fingers. it's fun and it's easy and you're getting through it pretty quick.
then, bam. something happens are you're left stuck for words.. suddenly the scene you've written seems all wrong, suddenly your characters are stiff and unconvincing. you press on for a bit longer, writing and rewriting it, but it's no use. it's over and you know it. you label it untitled71628 and let it rot with the rest of your 1000's of unfinished pieces.
HELP. unfortuntely this has been happening to me for a number of years. I love to write, I love the process of writing and the thrill of seeing where the story takes me, but it's next to impossible to actually finish a story in a way that doesn't make me want to scrap the whole thing! does anyone have advice? thanks in advance!

I'm trying to decide which site I should register books with:
www.frugalreader.com or www.paperbackswap.com
Does anyone have a sense of which has better selections? They both offer 2 free credits for signing up (down from 3 a few months ago it appears).
My reading taste is typically fantasy and science fiction, btw.

Thanks in advance

I have a Cannon Powershot A400 (I have had it for many years but just now learning how to use it.) I am interested in learning what all of the options are and how they effect the quality of the photos I am taking. I don't have the manual. Is there a good web site which has lessons and a glossary. Tips & tricks?
