How funny is it that people who can barely compose an e-mail want to be writers?
Do they imagine that writing is easy because you do it sitting down?

Has it changed you? Did you make a life change? Did you take up a new activity? Changed job? Got rich? Made peace with your mom or your dad? Fiction or non-fiction let me know.

The major publsihing houses have grown fewer; smaller presses are doing well, but very niched or regionalized; the hardback has given way to the soft cover in popularity; the internet has changed the market; and every writer needs an agent now.

What do you think is making things more difficult for writers to find success these days?

As a side question do you think finding success as a magazine writer lends itself to doing better in book writing?

OK- it has been said a few times in the books that you cannot "apperate" (appear and disappear) inside of Hogwarts or anywhere on the grounds.
They DO make a exception for Apperation classes, but otherwise it is not possible to do so. HOWEVER, in the Hospital ward, Harry Summons "kreatcher" and both he and Dobby INSTANTLY appear at his side with a loud pop. (this is when Harry wants Malfoy followed around).

How is this possible?? Are the house Elves allowed to do things that wizards are not (they can break the no-apperating spell withen Hogwarts). Did I miss somthing? I didn't cacth this the first time I read the book, but I saw this last night as I was rereading it. Is this a loophole in the story that got mistakenly written in??

What are some good vampire books BESIDES the Anne Rice novels? I especially like the horror/romance/fantasy type, yet I like them somewhat realistic. But any would do.

Why do Scout and Jem call Atticus, Atticus and not Dad? There is a specific reason and I have read the book, but I can't figure out why. Any help would be appreciated.

around the Depression and World War II to now, but it has to be historically significant and at least 250 pages. I was going to read the Grapes of Wrath but I'm kind of bored and have to be able to read it fast. ( I only have about a week left).
