How do you just let go and write? I'm a perfectionist, how do I just write, and not worry whether it's good or bad? Knowing that I can come back, later on, and edit and revise it? But for now I just have to let myself go and let go and write?

Thanks,

Kiara

P.S. I realize I have been asking a lot of questions here, but I'm just looking for input. Thank you!! :)

If there are any fans of Stephen Donaldson out there, do you know if he's writing anything currently? Also, I'd be curious who your favorite characters are, if you've read more than one series.

I am 22 years old and interested in getting into a good book. I just finished reading A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. That book was such a page turner for me. If you know of any great books that are page turners like this book, please let me know the title and author. THANKS!!

I have attempted to write a novel before a few times, but it never really worked out. I'm still at the very, very basics right now. Really my only idea is I want to write a novel that really tears at the reader's emotions, here are 2 VERY VERY basic ideas so far:

1. A family living in an abusive home or

2. A man & woman who've been married for let's say 10 years, and then the woman finds out about her husband's infidelity.

I realize those are extremely basic, but every story starts out with a small spark of idea.

So, how do I go about making this novel original, and not like every other novel out there? Any ideas are appreciated, I may change them or they may spark new ides, I just really need some help and advice.

I want my story to take place in a small town in the state in which i live which is a northern state.

Thanks for any help,

Kiara

Looking at the Canterbury Tales and Hamlet, what similiarities in the texts do you see. These could be writing styles or themes. Whatever.

I would say yes At a public reading in NY this summer (2006) JK Rowling revealed that Dumbledore was really dead. As we all know the protection charm that Harry's mother gave him by putting herself infront of Voldemort was to be expired with Harry's 17th birthday. Now the question is, was Snape really bad? or did Dumbledore ordered him to kill him. In this theory, Dumbledore took Harry intentionally, protected him with stupification, and was hit by the AK from Snape. This also helped him to convince Draco to change sides. Was this the Dumbledore's plan that Snape was arguing with him that Hagrid overheard?

When I was in 3rd or 4th grade, I read a chapter book I absolutely loved, but I can't find it anywhere. Here's what I remember about it:

It wasn't a Goosebumps book, but it was a similar style. I believe it may have been part of a "horror" series too, like a Goosebumps rip-off. This particular book was about a girl who somehow drank a bottle of pink liquid and turned into a golden retriever. She ends up in a pet store and is adopted by one of her bullying classmates. She spends the whole story trying to let the boy know she's not really a dog, but a girl. In the end, she turns back into a human, but the cliffhanger is that her friend ends up drinking the potion and turns into a dog as well!

if you (or someone else if you're lazy) were going to write your autobiography what would you want it to be called?
or would you be boring and just put your name on it and say 'my story'?

He is 25. He likes the books of Kafka, Camus, Lee, Salinger etc. Any new publications or old ones would do. Need not be 'popular' or the wellknown classics. But should be intriguing. Serious or otherwise.

I wrote a poem in 1994 and sent it in (I was a student at ENMU). My poem was published and I was sent a letter requesting that I read my poem at a poetry reading. I did not recieve the letter until a month after the reading. I was in the US Navy's Basic Training program at the time. I would really love to see my poem in print and to see the other poems that won.

*At least I THINK that's what the name of the publication was...it HAS been a decade. Any ENMU students out there, perhaps?

**I'm posting this question again in hopes of getting an answer or, at least, something that will point me in the right direction...

She hates chick-lit or romance stuff, anything that's 100% about relationships, she prefers a theme, or something that makes you think. She likes anything to do with time travel, the future etc. Her favourite books recently have been "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro and "The Time Traveller's Wife" bu Audrey Niffenegger so something along those lines would be perfect. I've been looking for ages, but can't find anything. Any suggestions?
