It's about how I accidentally became involved with a family by getting my girlfriend pregnant.Her family were weed dealers on a very large scale smuggling protraying thimselves as very disfunctional Jehovah's Witness's from Alabama and inevitably brought me in the family business.I eventaually graduated to robbing banks which landed me in prison and gave me the chance to write this book The stories are extremely crazy but so crazy anyone reading would know I wasnt making it up.Over 300 inmates read my rough draft that was hand printed and ever single one of them told me it was the best story they had ever read and every single person wanted to know more. Because I lived the life I grew bored with it after writing it.. But it is extremely funny and from what i have been told could one day be a Hollywood Block Buster if I just found the right person to hear me out. I have no idea how to wrie a book but I can tell a story like no other person. Does Anyone have any suggestions or advise

I'm making a special someone a personalised pressie this year - a home made diary with a week on each page. I'm including small photos I've taken and would also very much like to put a shortish quote at the bottom of each page. Means I need about 52. Could you share your favourite short quote - from a book or just something you've heard and appreciated? Thanks in advance.

I am in the process of writing a book, but have no idea what to do with it when I'm done. Also, I write columns for my local newspaper, so I have some professional experience, if you want to call it that. I just need some advice on where to go from here as to how to find a publisher that takes chances on new and upcoming writers.

I was writing a paper and just wondering if anyone out there has some info on the characteristics of a Shakespearian tragic hero, and how Othello fits that mold.

My favourite is Jane Eyre but I love also Shirley because of the description of the industrialized Yorkshire and the characterial contrast between the two heroines.

It's called "The Fantastic: A Structuralist Approach to a Literary Genre". Thank you. I know I probably won't find it, but I desperately need it and I had to try. Thank you.

Great poems? Not "the best", because that's always too subjective - and with me changes regularly.

Give give titles/writers, if you can't be bothered to type it all out.

And, PLEASE, no thumbs-down - that's not in the spirit I intend (thumbs-up are ok)

My starter? "somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond" e.e.cummings
