I would like to pursue a graduate degree in Creative Writing but am wondering what your opinion is as far as it's marketable value. I would be doing it partially for my own benefit as well, but I'd like to know if any of you view a Master's degree as a good career move for an aspiring creative non-fiction writer.

I am a writer and I am interested in the types of genres you guys are most interested in right now. (for example--travel, fantasy, romance, non-fiction, fiction, classic literature, etc...)

The book was fairly thick, for teens, and was one of those "bright young career girls before marriage type". Read in the 60's, but probably from before that. Careers are up for grabs but I'm pretty sure one was stewardess, one office/typist, and the other ? I'll know it when I hear/see it. It was for young people, not adults and was written in the light style of Cherry Ames, or Vickie Barr, Flight Stewardess (but not one of those series - I have them all). Previous answer which was voted for 5 times apparently (a way to rack up points I guess) by the person who answered it (and closed out the question prematurely) was definately not correct.

Can anyone think of any really good examples of characters in literature (any literature though preferably quite well-known) that are anti-heroes?

Thanks

One of the basic beliefs of orthodox Christians is that tthe Bible represents a written and authoratative revelation from God. It is according to Christians absolute truth. What reasons can be given to defend this belief? Why do people believe this?

Here's the rules:
* Only 4 lines
* Any two lines should rhyme with the other two lines (examples; bad boo sad too ... or bad sad boo too ... or bad too boo sad)
* Something that happened to you in the last day
* Bonus for use of images
* In case of ties, fancy meter wins

Iam trying to read this big book and understand what the controversy about it is. Why does it matter that detective dan brown thinks the virgin mary is a prostitute?

I am convinced that at the end of the book when Landon says "miracles happen" that he meant that Jamie did not die. The movie says otherwise. What do you think? It's been a while since I've read the book, am I totally wrong?

I'm looking supernatural like vampires, werewolves, ...
A good story is a must, and the best would be action with a subtle love story that pulls together in the end (whether it be the main focus or not).
