How is everybody doing on St. Patrick's Day? I am sitting at home working on my book. I stopped for right now because I am suffereing from acute writer's block. Why is it that when I want to write it seems as though I can't. My brain completely shuts off on me and all is blank, just like the computer screen I stare at for three hours while trying to come up with an idea. Then when I could care less if I write anything or not, I have the ability to write great things. It annoys me so much. I mean I have to finish writing this book, and I have to finish a paper for college and although I have all the information I need for both topics, I can't write. It is not out if laziness, because I really want to write, it is just I can't think of the words that I need to make these stories memorable. Have you ever been like that? If you have it sucks doesn't it? Any advice of how to get over this dilema of mine?

I'm a seventeen year old that absolutely loves to write. I spend a lot of my time writing and would like to possibly make a career out of it. What I'd like some assistance with is how I can improve the structuring of my writing. I have a strong grasp of language and rhetoric, and feel I am very effective at saying what I want to say. My problem is I often don't know WHAT to say. I don't know what I'm suppossed to say next in my essay, or in the story. What are some methods, exercises, etc that I can use to better my writing? Thank you.

it is my first real poem.

I know a girl who is just like gold.
Great to see, even better to hold
Shining so bright all the while
Just to see her I’d walk for miles
Even if I wait for many years
As long as I have her there will be no tears
As beautiful as a full blossomed tree
I just know she is the one for me
But if she’s not that would be very bad
But gold is something that not many people have had

I have this wonderful idea for a book and i've run it past some of my friends or family but i need some hard core answers from people not afraid to rip me to shreds with insults and real opinions.
This girl beomes the messiah of the world and the devil wants her and so does god but she just wants to be with her family. sooooo then this dude convinces her to go on the quest to save the world(part of which is in hell) and on the way they fall in love and in the end he dies.
what do you think??

I've recently developed an interest in her work --not her novels as much as her diaries. But there are so many! I suppose I should begin with her most earlier diaries, but does anyone else have any other ideas? If you know her work well, what would you recommend? Is there any one work I should start with?

Anyone have suggestions of what to do with several boxes of nearly new , mostly hardcover books? Many Readers Digest condensed books,fiction,some reference. The library doesn't want them, nor do the two nursing homes in our area. I refuse to throw away books, but they are taking up space and my sister doesn't want them.

Okay, I need to write a paper on Dracula...I need some ideas....

I don't want ideas that relate to gender unless they are really out there (I have millions of them and that's what most lit papers boil down to) and I don't want any sparknotes stuff....anyone have some somewhat original ideas that I can toy with? Thanks

.. Its about a young girl who was drugged and raped; and convicted for a murder she didn't commit. She spent half of her life in jail and when she escapes she falls in love wit a man who happens to be her rapists brother..and she tries to find her daughter because she gave birth to the child of her rapist when she was 12 years old.

Chamber of Secrets?

2007-03-17 12:47:07 · 9 answers · asked by Hagrid 3

It's not the one that is popular now; it was a first reader that started out "Look a box, a box for me. Open the box, open it, open it. A rabbit, a rabbit, a little white rabbit. A little white rabbit for me." I know almost the entire book by memory, it's about a little boy who get the rabbit, it starts to run, he catches it by it's ears, and it's ears get hot. He takes it to the vet and the vet teaches him to carry the rabbit by it's neck. I would really love to have it again. It was written pre 1970, I think in the 50's sometime, and I don't remember the author. If anyone knows where I could find it I would be very grateful!! Thanks!

I love to read and I love history. Mostly Ancient history and civilizations. Some history books are so boring though and I quickly lose interest. I want to find books on history that will capture my attention and will be difficult to put down. Are there any books like these? Are there also any history books that follow a story line? For example a fiction book that has a lot of historical facts about the place and times? I need books that will keep me interested.
