Did any of you feel that the book took WAY too much literary license from the Bible, and that it was so fictionalized, it was almost blasphemous?

I started writing a fiction novel and it seemed so easy to write, I would write every chance I got the "feeling" and the words would just flow. I didn't even need to think about what would happen next because I already knew it would almost just write itself. All of a sudden, it just stopped. I don't know what it is exactly but my "flow" isn't there anymore. Now I will just sit in front of the computer with the cursor blinking. Lost. Anybody else gone through this? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get oner this hump?

Hey guys!
This idea just popped into my head and I was wondering if it sounded good.
Basically, the book would be set in 1920s Tuscany, Italy. The daughter of a poor farmer, Bella, is infatuated with Marco, the son of a wealthy vineyard owner and watches him from afar. However, Marco is involved with the conniving, seductive Adriana.
After Bella finally gathers the courage to speak to Marco one night, they begin to have a friendship. As their friendship grows, Bella falls fully in love with Marco, but he does not and will never love her.
It's basically supposed to be a novel of a girl tormented by her love of someone who will never return it. It's supposed to be a tragic story, not a love story, about the bitter dark side of love.
It sounds much better when I have more room to explain the characters and the story, I promise!
But whaddya think?

Does anyone think these historical romance novels are a bit cheesy? Does anyone else find that the cover art usually looks the same, too?

but not too "feel-good"?

Something like *Candide*, as opposed to *Tuesdays with Morrie* or *The Christmas Box*?

Something with a little meat in it, but a fictional novel?

Any ideas? I want to get started reading fiction, but with thinner books, at first. The level can be Young Adult through Mature Adult/ Graduate School level.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I was watching Return of the King last night on TNT and i noticed something about the Witch King of Agmar. When he mortally wounded the king of rohan the daughter of the king challenged the Nazgul to a fight. Then either merry or pippen comes from behind and tries to stab him but it burned his arm. The same thing happens when the daughter of the king stabs the nazgul in its helmet it burned her hand. Why were they burned when trying to attack the Witch King of Agmar?

Every year for his birthday and Christmas he gets presents from Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, and Ron's mother (the sweater at Christmas).

But you never read about him giving any gifts to them. And he has more gold than all of them combined.

Even when Ron's wand had broken in half he didn't even offer to help to his boy out.
