I want to write a pirate book (for fun- not published) and the two main characters are bro and sis, but the bro got captured by pirates when he was young, and the girls` parents died, and I need some good ideas, of how and why she got on the ship, and some problems she runs into, with her brother, on the ship. and, if you have any other suggestions for books, or ideas for this book, they are all apreciated.
The brothers name is Jacob, and I need a girls` name (older name- in older days) Or, if you have some suggestions for guys` name- go ahead.

And do you use it? Does your library have internet access, and is that where you are right now?

i must agree with the redneck on this one.
I think William would have wanted the English language to evolve, as well as storytelling. I don't agree with people who say his plays are "timeless" - because contextually they are not - the only timeless aspect of many of his plays is how different personalities interact in a given situation. I have read his complete works by the way, and i just think with the modern language evolving all the time, we do not need his works to be taught, unless for etymological purposes.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any practical advice to offer on becoming a writer, especially of novels (science fiction, fantasy, etc.).

My novel centres around two characters, a fiesty but down trodden girl and her best friend, a fiercely loyal and moody guy and the events that led to the moments at the train station between the trains they've gotten onto and the minutes and not the distance that seperates them. It also has a side plot to do with three people that they encounter at the train station and how their appearance at those moments will adversely/positively influence future events as a mere cause and effect.
How does it sound? And what I cannot decide is whether to set it in first or third to tell the story? I've tried both and cannot decide which works more effectively. Opinions, comments?

I like to read alot and I found that Matilda was really a cool but, but comming in a close second was George's Pond. Little Stewart let me down alot, i expected more from it. Charlottes Web was pretty good.
I think they are in this order for quality of story:
1. Matilda
2. George's Pond
3. Charlotte's Web
4. Little Stewart

but what do you think?

Anyone else a completely devoted fan of Ayn Rand? She may have theology that some people really don't like, but I think she was an amazing woman.

Is it that Bram had issues with homosexuality?
Or is it more to do with his issues with women?

The popular theory on Dracula is the stuff about homsexuality. However, when I read it, I saw a fascination with female sexuality and a horror in women being both virginial and sexual beings (Virgin Whore theory?).

What's your view?

I got in an arguement with my sister and she swears that the guy that wrote Charlie and The chocolate factory also wrote George's Pond, is that true because I just dont think so.

Was "Longbourne" a manor? It looked pretty big . . . or do you simply call it a "house"?

30 years ago, I was in a sort of Robin Williams "Good Morning Vietnam" situation, only mine was in 1974 Korea. The station, all the people, the $2 women, the pot parties and generally FANTASTIC adult Disneyland nature of Ietaewon in Seoul (look it up) are all mentioned in this book I have been writing for three years. The story is unbelivable. I went back after discharge and lived in the red light district until Dec1980, purchasing a 'slave girl' who was lovely as Miss Oriental July. I married her and we returned when they had a revolution and we barely escaped with our lives. (She's my ex now, no kids, thank God.) But what do I do with this great story? Merely changing the names won't hide who these people are. The station and base still exist. The time line will have people recognizing themselves immediately. It could bust up marriages, destroy careers and worst of all, get me sued. It's too neat a story to just drop it. It reads like "The Orient Express". How could I publish this?
