One charecter is a little boy, orphan now, he is about...8-10 i havn't decided, he is dark haired, and very serious(due to a hard life), are there names you know that are connected with winter and aren't girly? Then there is a girl charecter who is basicully the spoiled high-ranking lady for a while, she's frivolous and out-spoken, however she does turn into one of the good-guys...err, girl..... I believe those were the only two that i was having a writer's block on. So if anyone could give suggestions i'd be gratful.

Heav'n but the vision of fulfill'd Desire,
And Hell the shadow of a soul on fire
Cast on the darkness into which ourselves
So late emerg'd from, shall so soon expire .
---------------------------how about this ?
Why , if the soul can fling the dust aside,
And naked on the air of Heaven ride ,
Were't not a shame-were'it not a shame for him
In this clay carcass crippled to abide ?

Silent Spring, Walden, Sand County Almanac, Desert Solitaire, stuff by John Muir and John Wesley Powell. Maybe Origin of Species. Maybe Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Others?

I am writing a book about me in the Battle of the crater, at Petersburg, Virginia, and, I'm a private, about ready to obtain a promotion to corporal, and it's fiction. I want to have 17 chapters in it. I'm first writing by hand, and I need to how to keep continuing of writing the story. Shoud I reserve the book from my public library "The Last Citadel-Petersburg, Virginia June 1864-April 1865, get the information from the following website:
http://www.craterroad.com/siegeindex.html or both?
This book is not for school, it's for me to become a famous Civil War author like Noah Andre Trudeau. I want to become a historian for the Petersburg battlefield, and I want to go to Mary Washington, Univerity of, to take Historic Preservation, and basically, I like Petersburg. It's by favorite battle of the war. Does it take practice to write your own stories? I've always heard that if I do go to college, I'd have to do a lot of writing. Is that true?

Each line spells something

"Wishes"

Intimate moments across time
Lovers whispering "you'll be mine"
Over and over the words creep by
Viscous is the lie
Embodied souls drenched in flame
Heroic villains do the same
Encompass the heart and mind
Remembering when they were kind

I've read everything by King and Koontz. In fact, I've read most of the big names in horror. Anyone have a diamond in the rough I'm missing? I like haunted houses and ghosts. Not so crazy about slashers or monsters.

When citing the preface to a book, does one cite it as (Author xi) or do I have to make an entire new citation for the preface, as it's by a different writer?

these stories are not mine, but i think they’re great so ill put 1 lesson(there are 5 in all) every week, i hope you get to read all of them, so tune in

First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?
I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
