I'm thinking of finishing the book I started writing 5 years ago but is it easy to get published or with the initial rejection just not be worth the trouble? Plus does it pay enough for me to leave my job and go full time.

...a good non fiction spy espionage book. Any suggestions? Last good read was "The House on Garibaldi Street" - the plot behind the Israeli's hunt and capture of Adolph Eichman.

What are your thoughts? I felt more like I was reading a text book than a novel. If he had put any more scientific crap in there I think I would have fell over from boredom. I finally stopped reading the scientific crap. Once I start a book I try to finish no matter how bad it is. I read until he went into one of his ten page spills about nothing and then skipped ahead until he got back to the story line.

I've noticed the way he looks differently when he is telling the U.S. public and the rest of the world something that he knows is an extreme exaggeration or patently false.

Look closely at his forehead.

He gets those deep parallel lines all over his forehead.

It's a dead give away.

I'm writing a story, and have backed my characters into a corner that I'm not quite sure how to get them out of.

Rather than rewriting several pages of what I thought was good work, I am considering a deus ex machina to help them in their plight. However, I would rather rewrite than destroy the story with a silly twist, if it comes down to that.

I was just curious about the whole deus ex machina idea. When I'm reading a story and something miraculously happens, it can sometimes be frustrating and confusing. At the same time, if an author writes it with some finesse, it can be a great plot twist.

I just wanted an idea on how readers here generally feel about it and whether or not deus ex machina is something generally accepted by the majority of people, or is just annoying.

To be clear, this would be happening in the middle of the story rather than a twist ending.

Thanks for any input.

This may sound like a weird question, so I'll explain a bit. I have to write about a comparison of Act 1 Scene 4 of Romeo and Juliet (the part where Benvolio and Mercutio try to get Romeo to go to the party and where Mercutio recites a monologue about his dream and Queen Mab.)

What I have to compare it to is anything else I have read in a book or seen in a movie. I was going to do Cinderella going to the ball, because I thought Cinderella didn't really want to go to the ball and it was the mice and fairy godmother that tried to get her ready. Then I realized that Cinderella DID want to go, so I don't think I can use that.
So I'm basically forgetting the Cinderella story, it would help if someone could refresh my memory to help me find another comparison.

Or, if you know of any other books or movies I could compare to that scene in Romeo & Juliet, that would be very appreciated!
Thanks.
