I love to write but I find that I have a hard time coming up with ideas and then writing short stories, unless its for school. It seems everything is either too short, too boring, or too long. Right now, I want to write a couple short stories but as usual, I'm having trouble. Does anyone have any tips?

No stupid answers please!

Both daughter characters lost Mom In Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird" both the Scout character and Mayella character lost their Mom. Which one had any nurturing? Which one had a large wardrobe and servant to do housework? How would the Mayella character develop if Atticus was the father of that family? How would the Scout character develop if Bob Ewell was to swap positions for only 40 days, or even a week? What are your thoughts on this?

I am looking for something good to read.........I dont like fiction, much prefer non-fiction - biographies/anything else. I often buy books then feel disappointed as most are not that good :-( so I was wondering if anyone had read a non-fiction book that they feel is worth reading and I will give it a go. thank you

From a young age I loved to read, books such as Dr. Seuss for example. But, when I was in 4th grade I really got interested in books....the first one I can remember was "A Doll In The Garden", and others were books by Madeleine L'Engle (i.e. A Wrinkle In Time, A Swiftly Moving Planet...), The Giver (about a Utopian society), Treasure Island, diaries (for example, the diary of Anastasia, of a young girl on the Titanic...), and quite a few more.

What were your favorite books when you were young?

OK, this is for people who have read the books and know their stuff. My sister thinks I'm fixated on this particular detail (and maybe she's right! lol) but... There is a short bit in GOF that intrigues me and I'm convince it will pop up again in Book 7.
When Harry first discovers the pensieve, at one point Bertha Jorkins appears and says she was jinxed by someone because she followed him and saw him kissing "Florence" behind the greenhouse. Dumbledore says "sadly", "Why did you follow him in the first place?" I am convinced an important revelation will come of this seemingly unimportant bit. Otherwise, why would it still be in the pensieve and why would Dumbledore deem this memory so important to the point of preserving it in the pensieve in the first place?
Did anyone else pick this up - or am I a lone lunatic??
C'mon guys, theres still a long time before Book 7 is released. Might as well bide our time... Wanna play? :o)

How do you get motivated to do the things you know you need to do? I belong to a local fiction writers' critque group and our next meeting is on Tuesday. I need to get my butt in gear and write the critques, which I have been putting off for way to long, but I just can't seem to motivated enough to do it. I made it through 3 of the submissions but I'm just having a hard time critquing them. I'm also having a hard time getting through one of the other submissions and haven't even looked at the last one. It's not that I don't want to do it just having a hard time getting my mind to focus enough to get it done. The same thing has been happening with my own writing, just can't seem to get motivated to work on it. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get past this?

William Golding once said that the theme of Lord of the Flies is “an attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature. The moral is that the shape of society must depend on the ethical nature of the individual and not on any political system however apparently logical or respectable…” How does he show this in the book? Do you agree? Why or who not?

I hate having to put my pen down on paper sometimes but I want to be a writer. Is it even possible for someone to hate a subject but be fluent in it and turn into a career?
