Assuming you can progress--given time, effort, patience, and dedication--how many pages can you write for any one of your books? (Think of this as an plateau exercise.)

How far can you take your imagination?

Please if you can, tell me all the specifics. And please tell me if there are any easy ways of getting things published. Thank-you.

I'm planning on writing a book, and I just wanted a little help. Here's the main idea, which came to me when I overheard a little girl tell her mom that she wished Hogwarts was real, and her mother told her it was:

There are a lot of dimensions other than ours. A certain group of people, called the Authors, visit dimensions, gather information about them, and pass on that information to Penners in each other dimension. The Penners then write what they think are fictional stories. In other words, Penners don't know they're being "recruited" to do this work. The main goal of the Authors: to teach people about dimensions other than their own, even if it is in fictional form.

I have yet to really make up a plot, but I just wanted a little feedback. Does this idea suck? And is there maybe a better name than Authors or Penners for those jobs?

OK, so I am doing an Eagle scout project I have dubbed "Project READenforcement" It's a project I designed to help the Mississippi Gulf coast. When hurricane katrina came in, it wiped out the schools. Well, the state departments uilt them new libraries and stocked them and such, but the classroom library sets were never replaced. Anyway, I am going to begin by collecting as many books as possible for K-12. I started by going to thrift stores, and they either donated them to me by the box or sold them for 50 cents apiece. Now, I need some more ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions on ways I could get massive amounts of books at once? And maybe how I could set up monetary donations? Thanks!!!!!

p.s.---If you would like to donate a book (or monetary donation) please contact me at mike@kiakima.net Thanks again!

I've got this idea for a story but it involves something like different chapters, kinda like star wars in the sense that there were different chapters with there own stories making one big continuous story or saga. I've got a lot of characters and I just don't know how to put it all together. getting started is the hardest part and that's what I need help on. I'm not sure what to work on first , the characters or the story. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just wondering why, if Harry saw his parents die as a baby, he couldn't see the thestrals untill after Cedric was killed. Also, even if he hadn't seen his parents die, he should have been able to see the thestral in the end of the fourth book, not the beginning of the fifth.

Another... (from 7th book)
If Harry's scar was an accidental horcrux, wouldn't he find it hard to perform certain magic, like patronses, and his personality would be irritable, right? Because when he, Ron, or Hermione wore the locket, they all were affected a lot. Given that he WAS a horcrux, wouldn't he ALWAYS be affected?

Thanks for your time and wisdom.
Peace.

Ok, I liked the harry potter series and all but now i dont know wat to do now that the series is over. I think (and I hope everyone agrees) that jk rowling should make a new series.The new series would be all about harrys kid Albus Severus who is mentioned in the epilouge that he is going to his first year at hogwarts. Then he could continue the Potter series with all new adventures. Who Thinks this would be a great idea and who thinks this would be lame?
