Hi everyone

Due to a computer meltdown (this is somebody else's) I've had to put my novel on hold, but I will be continuing the bare bones on paper for a while as I cannot put it off any longer!

Question is, I have two female characters who are totally mean to the main character, a teen girl. One, however, has a heart and does finally become her friend but the other is nasty to the core. I thought about making her a psychopath because they have no emotions and manipulate for their own ends... is this correct? I don't know much about it only that I saw a film about a girl who was a psychopath - it was called pretty persuasion - and the girl in it is exactly how I want the nasty person to be. I don't want her to be duh I hate you so I'll beat you up mean but cold and calculating mean. Perhaps she sees the main character as a threat and wants rid of her. Either way I want her to be a huge obstacle for my protagonist. What do you think?

What's your favorite of the books, and your favorite character? Or, if you don't have a favorite book, what "types" do you like? For example, my favorites are the more political novels (like Jingo or The Fifth Elephant) or the "one-shot" stories focusing on a new character (like The Truth or Going Postal).

I found this series to be absolutely brilliant, especially the last 3 books.
It has really inspired me to attempt to write myself!
To think that he has linked so much of his work to these books is unreal. Salems Lot, Insomnia, Desperation and the Black House to name a few!!!

I want to know a website or some other resource that has a list of some guidelines for writing genres, like fiction or mystery.
For example, I want to know if there are any guidelines as to what the plot for a mystery novel would be like.
Thanks!

Got some drafts of short stories-would it be prudent to copyright them before sending them to a literary agent-and how would you go about this?

Hello. I'm looking for a really good, I mean REALLY good English book, mustn't be a classic or something, but can. The last book I've read was Hermann Hesse's "Glasperlenspiel" ("The Glass Bead Game") and I SO loved it, that I don't dare touching another book. Whatever, my friend already knows it, in fact it was his, so I'm looking for something else (as this already is my standard gift this year for everyone else...) I know some others by Hesse, but I guess he knows them as well.

Do you know any challenging yet readable books that fit as christmas presents (I'm not talking about Ulysses or 1984 here...)

Thanks a lot!

I have just finished reading the rest of the series but I won't have a chance to read this book for a while, so I was hoping that someone can tell me what happens. What I really want to know is, is she really pregnant and if so who is the father?
Also, I have heard that this book is not that great b/c there is no plot and it is just more sex scenes like the last 4 books have had and no one gets killed.
