Do you use bookmarks, do you use whatever is laying around, or do you dog-ear??? What are you reading right now...and what are you using as a bookmark? Right now I'm reading Lisey's Story by Stephen King and I'm using a McDonalds receipt as a bookmark...lol. Sorry..I'm bored!

how much would you pay for an e-book site annually? instead of buying e-books individually, a subscription could get you unlimited access to the archives.

however the archives are not extensive -- let's just say .. they only have about 100 books.

I know this is a fictional book, but I'm curious if Harry is related to Godric Gryffindor. JK Rowling has mention that Harry/Lily's eye has something to do with the story. Interesting enough, I found out that Godric Gryffindor has green eyes like Harry and Lily. Alnother reason to support this reason is that Harry was able to use the Gryffindor sword (although maybe any Gryffindor can).

Please share any thoughts or comments. Thanks!

By the way I found this info on this website: http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizards/founders.html

In a novel, when there is a telephone conversation and you want the reader to know both sides of that conversation, how do you write that?

Do I have to make it complicated or use big words for people to be intrested in my book? Or I can still use simple words in my book and people are still going to enjoy it?, if one day it gets published.lol. I am writing a book that in my opinion it is for everyone. But I'm not sure. Oh and do you think I should put a lot of details, describing the setting?

Harry Potter and Eragon are very good books. I especially loved the darkness atmosphere that was created in Eldest.

The Harry potter 1st movie was the best, the rest wasn't. They were like the Eragon movie, too much action, not enough story and mystic imagination.

Stephen Ambrose leaned over the polished metal railing of the Hazleton Avenger, looking out into the distance at the fading amber light of the setting sun, which reflected in glorious splendor off of the dark navy blue of the ocean. It looked, in a way, like the sun was plunging down into the depths, as though it had simply grown weary of shining, and had decided to end it all by extinguishing its flames in the cool and salty blackness of the bottomless sea.

Stephen sighed, glancing down at the digital display on his watch. The brilliant, icy blue LCD display on the watch face showed it to be nearly seven thirty five. In a little over twenty five minutes, Stephen himself would be making a descent beneath the waves in a small, cramped submersible. He thought that he should make the most of his last few minutes on the surface. After all, he wouldn't breath in the cool, fresh air or see the sun again for more than twelve hours.

I was thinking that harry's scar is a horxcus and he will have to sacrafice himself. And that the order of the phoenix will kill him. But who do you think will die?

I am not sure. I will cry my eyes out if she does.
But if you think about it, it makes sense that she would die.
What do you guys think? Don't be shy...

Ok so JK has said that two man characters will die. This is a character elimintation game to see who people think is going to die. Next to the name of the two characters who you think will die you put a (+) and add a point. The two you don't think will die, put a (-) and minus a point. When we get to the last 4 characters, their points go up to 50 and you can only minus. Have fun!

~Harry Potter 10
~Ron Weasley 11 (+)
~Hermione Granger 10
~Lord Voldemort 10
~Serverus Snape 10
~Minerva McGonagall 9 (-)
~Fred and George Weasley 9 (-)
~Percy Weasley 10
~Remus Lupin 10

I have recently started writing a story. It's very short- but I write for at least ten minutes every(usually to only crank out a paragraph!) and I have a question. When two people are talking, do you press "tab" on every line or only put a few spaces? I look at books for references and it looks like they only put a few spaces. I've not been pressing 'tab' or even putting spaces when my characters are talking..I just sort of leave it. Like I said, I'm young and have just started writing- so it'll take me a while to learn the rope.

Thanks,
Isa

I'm a young novelist, age 14, I'm working on 28 novels of mine. I really hope that one of my novels will be made into a movie, or I will be interviewed on tv for one at least. I;'m wondering what might have to be done, or what the chances are of having these things happen to me.
