If so do they still print them? i used to have a whole bunch when i was little, and my mom still denies giving them to charity. The only place i could find them was at a second hand book store. I actually used to have almost all of em too!

Of course Chaucer's Canterbury Tales gives us a sense of the word choice that was used in Middle English but does anyone know about Old English. When was Beowulf actually written down? Did that take place in Middle English?

I read recreationally, and somewhat sporadically. I'm fond of the dystopian novels, the horror genre, and biting, mind-expanding sarcasm and satire. I like a book that can make me laugh, and something a little darker, a little less boring, typical and mass-produced. Hopefully, that rambling, incoherent mess of details made some sense. Thanks for the suggestions.

I self published a small book through Brandylane Publishers
I spent a considerable amt. of money. People who read it say they
like it and it would make a good movie. I don't know who to send it to. Sorry my first question wasn't clear. I sold a few copies but it was overpriced and ended up giving copies away. People say it still was a good book. It is a true story about child abuse, demon possesion, bible prophercy, could rival "THE EXOCIRSM OF EMILY ROSE" I hate for it to set on the shelf and gather dust. HELP SOMEONE!

I know the market is brutal, especially for the "un's" unknown, unpublished authors. I know that my novel (mystery/legal/medical fiction) is good & that if given the opportunity it will sell. It is about corrupt polotics , murder and the unorthodox relationships between doctors&Lawyers/Judges/Politicians. The material is fresh, it is ripe b/c of the upcoming Louisiana elections. The nation is focused on La., b/c of hurricane Katrina & the improper, poor way that the Govt responded. I am a Lawyer by day, but have a passion for writing. I write everyday. THIS IS THE FIRST MANUSCRIPT I HAVE WRITTEN THAT I KNOW IS AWESOME & WILL SELL, IT WILL CAPTIVATE READERS AND KEEP THEIR ATTENTION. I need advice on how to get published. Is it literaly impossible to go the major publishing house route? Is self publishing akin to suicide. This book will keep readers up all night , you will not put it down. Please advise , HOW & WHERE DO I BEGIN TO MARKET MY BOOK, GET A LITERARY AGENT, EDITOR, ETC.

Just the right amount of nicotine to exhale you out of my mind

Memories enscribed on swirling smoke

Ashes float down in to the cup of once clean water

Grey burnt specks floating on top but never going deeper until the water is disrupted


Black Breath in white breath out


Cigarette paper burns back exposing bare anger

Just the right amount of nicotine to exhale you out of my mind

Will it change anything?

I have to choose a book for summer reading (I know, kind of late) but I can't really read a book unless it's really good and I like it. Last year I read 'Rebecca' by du Maurier and couldn't put it down, so I got my assignment done very quickly. This year I have to choose from:

My Antonia by/ Willa Cather
Living/ Annie Dillard
A Farewell to Arms/ Ernest Hemingway
Their Eyes Were Watching God/ Zora Hurston
Babbit or Main Street/ Sinclair Lewis
Natural/ Bernard Malamud
Heart is a Lonely Hunter/ Carson McCullers
Moby Dick/ Herman Melville
Catcher in the Rye/ JD Salinger
A Connecticut Yankee..../ Mark Twain
Color Purple/ Alice Walker

Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it!

a darkness wich pains my hart and soothes my soul,woven in the dank stench of the canabis i smoke ,an easy going rythem in plays in the back ground while i speculate as to the meanings of my life ,and wonder why bother .
I read of the pages of every vampire tale i can get my hands on and a part of me longs to be as free as they ,to taste the night ,to move about others unaware ,to never have to face the light of day ,
how seteling a thought
this is who i am and whom i am content to be .
where do i fit , to what groop do I belong ? these are the questions that plague me


so you think i may have talent as a writer
