Well right now I am creating a world of my own. So that my story can become its history. I guess you can also call me a great lier since I can create strories really fast (Thats how I get out of trouble). I have one problem. I always want change in my story, I always want to change it. I want it to be perfect which is impossible. However my world is pure fantasy. Thanks for the help

I'm writing a magical fiction and when typing out spells and chants should I capitalize and italicize them? ie: As she took up her wand she said, Tatome.
Should all words of the chapter heading be capitalized, but not in the contents. ie: Lost and Found Legacy (contents), Lost And Found Legacy (chapter title).
Is it er or err when someone doesn't know what to say. ie: Er, did you say dragon?
And how about ah in the same sense?

Thank you for your time.

I enjoy the classics, but I already read two of them this year, so I don't really want to do another one. I enjoy mysteries a lot, but any type of book works if it sounds interesting. I also LOVE love stories. Nothing gross, though. Please give me the title of a suggested book, the plot, and what you liked about it. Thanks in advance to everybody!!

I have to say I simply devour everything he writes (with the exception of Elizabeth Costello). Novels like the life and times of Michael K, Youth and disgrace are some of my favourites. I love the fact that they are almost novellas, short but punchy, full of insight and terrific writing; yet can be finished in one sitting and read all over again. Most worth of the nobel prize in my humble opinion lol!

The book clubs, like Doubleday, where you get 6 for 20 cents a piece then commit to buying 4 books in 2 years? I have heard the books are different quality than those at the store, not sure if that is true though. If you are a member can you tell if you like it or would never do it again? I'd appreciate any feedback about these clubs.

I'm writing a book right now, and I've gotten to the point where I'm losing interest in it and want to move on to something else. I'm determined to finish this story, but I know me, and when I quit doing something, I never go back to it. Any suggestions to keep that from happening with this book?

Is Sun Tzu's Art of War available for purchase or for renting from a library? I'm really interested in reading it, but I'm not sure if I would be able to find a copy.

I glance at the rising Sun
filled with radiance and gold
I spread my wings and run
my story's way too long to be told

The softest breeze takes my face between it's hands
locks of curls pull off and race with it
it strokes me and makes me obbey without commands
as my heart eagerly dances to it

My bare feet crave for earth beneath them
and I sit onto the blades of grass
a beetle stops on my shoulder to rest, like the greenest gem
as the winds blow cool like brass

I lay there and hear a crack
oh who could it be?
before I turn around I sense a spark
a buzz in my heart, a bee

Then a warm touch lands on my neck
and burns my breast with the coldest stab
followed by a line, slithering like a snake
and a trail of fingers, as a crab

The warmest breath whispers low
'I give my heart to you'
it enters my mind just like a blow
as I say 'you know I do too'

At last I glance to see
what the mystery was
a silver heart as beatiful as sea
and see his eyes before me

It made reference to a nurse at a hospital who considered herself an Angel and started off killing paitents in pain, but eventually made her way to killing anyone who annoyed her. Who was she? Was she a real person? Name? Thank you so much!

I'm interested in the arguments of what makes either country so great or so bad. I did find a few book titles, but if I could get some recommendations that'd be great. I basically want to be able to debate from any stand point, as to why Canada is better or vice-versa and why the other is so bad comparably. I found about 20 titles of books that had to do with the topic, some of which took a comedic stance. I want to compare them politically and from all ends.

If Frog doesn't return Toad's calls, should Toad just presume Frog's busy, or should Toad presume that he did something to piss off Frog? I don't remember this story being in the Frog and Toad books.

What is it about Harry Potter, from the books to the movies to the toys, that makes it something that certain people see it as the work of Satan?? What about the LOTR, The Wizard of Oz, The Worst Witch(remember the HBO movies back in the 80's based on the books?), and all the rest of the magical stories and movies that are out there???? What makes Harry Potter such a different type of enigma that extremists see it as a threat, when they themselves have not even taken the time to read the books or watch the movie, as they feel they will be tainted, turned to frogs, damned to Hell, etc.

My theory is that the Harry Potter books and movies are not just about people living or visiting a Magical land, as Dorothy did in Oz, but that it's about children learning spells and magic.....however, they are doing this in a make-believe world, where people fly around on brooms.....and, if you notice, they celebrate Christmas, NOT Yule.....which I find rahter odd.

Anyone else care to have a go at this??

I've been giving a writing assignment as part as a job interview for a script writer for a series of children's animations

But i'm worried they'll just use my idea in the assignment for their series and not hire me, should I copyright my work? or will they take offense and get angry with me?

and is copyrighting my work simply putting © 2007 and my name at the bottom?

What if it is a specific class name like, solutions in math? How about freshman in school? What I've read suggests no, but I wanted to check. Also how about this sentence, did I cap. it correctly? "I hope you haven't pulled The Chariot card again." In a deck of tarot, the wording on the card is capitalized.

Her quote is "It's so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to." It seems like it's her only claim to fame. Who is she?
