i've read "carrie" by stephen king and loved it. i'm not looking for gore or blood (but if that's part of the plot, it's fine). romance mixed in with the horror would be perfect. i want something that will keep me up at night and be afraid of every little sound. thanks!!!!

I'm writing a short story for an assignment. The daughter is 2nd-in-command and she leads part of her father's army. I'm trying to set up a relationship b/c later in the story she has to choose between saving her father or saving her troops. And I want to make a good relationship, so the readers know that she is struggleing and stuff.

So I have her kiss him, is it realistic?

I'm so very stunned and saddened. I was hoping he would hold out longer so I could meet him in the next few years, after finishing grad school. I'm making him a shrine memorial on my door at work.

He's in Heaven now: "We had a memorial services for Isaac [Asimov] a few years back, and at one point I said, 'Isaac is up in Heaven now.' It was the funniest thing I could have said to a group of Humanists. I rolled them in the aisles. It was several minutes before order could be restored. And if I should ever die, God forbid, I hope you will say, 'Kurt is up in Heaven now.' That’s my favorite joke" (http://www.vonnegutweb.com/archives/arc_nice.html ).

Does it help your writting more if you live in the middle of nowhere, let's say, in the woods with birds and ducks, the smell of pine and grass chasing you around with little distraction. Is the writer more effective if he is by the salty waters of the atlantic ocean with the sound of the big waves and sea eagles over your head. Does it help you to write if you are in a place where, there's just you and nature? Do you hear the voice in your head more clearly?

Can someone please write on this topic, maybe you know of some authors who live in the metro area who take advante of this gift of nature and strech their mind and pen stuff out..

Kurt Vonnegut died. He was 84. He wrote some of the best books over the past 50 years...

Try reading:
Mother Night
Slaughterhouse 5
God Bless You Mr. Rosewater
Breakfast of Champions
and any other of his many funny, quirky, odd books...

The Trojans were outnumbered and stayed behind their thick walls most of the time. Early in the "Iliad", Zeus favored Troy, so Trojans came out to fight the first battle in years. It began with Prince Paris of Troy challenging any Greek to a duel. The day ended with his brother Hector issuing a similar challenge. One Greek arose to accept both challenges. Who was he? He could beat Paris but not Hector, so he was held back from Hector. No one else dared to accept Hector's challenge, for he was a 7' tall 325 pound stronman quite skillful with sword and spear. Old Nestor shamed the greeks, so their 9 best men arose to fight Hector. Who were they? Which one was chosen?

OK, this is driving me mad! I read this book & now I can't remember the title, from this description can anyone tell me who wrote it?

A young boy living in South East England in the 1950s/60s lives with his mother and after witnessing a man drowning in the sea (he was in a rowing boat with two children) he befriends a fisherman who teaches him the ways of the sea. His mother isn't very nice and his father is out of the picture although he has a step-father and brother and sister who aren't that nice to him. His brother then gets sent away to school, the boy then moves with his mother to another town nearby and his grandmother, who is going blind moves in with them. The boy also befriends a young girl who is interested in nature and the boy learns all the names of flowers and plants. He also gets sent away to school and the master isn't very nice but he has a nice English teacher. There's also a sub-story about his brother's abuse. I think it's partly autobiographical too. Please help!
