I always start a great idea for books and start writing them, but then sometimes without even realizing it, I stop. Or sometimes, I just stop. I haven't finished one of my book ideas in years, and it is really getting annoying to me because now I have a new really good book idea, probably one of my best. But now I am afraid to write it because I know that I will most likely trail off...is there anyway I can focus myslef on writing my books? I once tried making myself work on the book for at least an 30 mins to an hour each day, but it didn't work. Are there any ways I can stay focused? Thank you.

It was another magical day the ocean sparkling as he continued wading in the luke warm water which he was in up to his chest, traditional spear in his hands, its bamboo shaft well worn from excursions such as this with the stainless steel prongs sharpened to a needle point to penetrate even the toughest skin of his prey.
There was a little movement to his right as he fixed his blue eyes onto it watching the shadow slip within range complete unaware of his stealthy presence as he lifted the spear and in one fluid motion threw it at the shadow. The spear end floating on the surface twitching wildly showed that it was a direct hit.
Swimming with enjoyable leisurely strokes he reached the spear and grasping the end placed his feet on the sandy bottom lifting the spear slowly from the water to reveal another beautiful but large specimen of Australian sand whiting.

Dave stared at the man standing opposite him. He was tall and menacing, with wiry hair, and flashing eyes. An unspeakable fear coursed through Dave. He tried to speak, but all he could do was whisper. He trembled, his hands shaking fearfully. The man did not speak, did not move, only stared at him. As if he could see past his face, his body, and deep inside of him.

Dave started, then sat up in bed. He hated the nightmares he'd been having lately. He hated the way the man seemed to follow him, terrorizing not only his dreams, but his job, his bike rides, when he took Lorraine, his girlfriend, out for a movie. "I guess I should let go of these dreams," Dave said to himself. Then he laughed. "What am I, crazy? I'm talking to myself like a lunatic!" He rose from his bed to get ready for work. Later, when he was enjoying a break from fixing cars, Dave sat on a bench in the mechanic shop and sighed. He was exhaused from the morning's work. It was a clear spring day and the shop had been

I've always wanted to read this book.

My favorite movie intertaption of the book is Sleepy Hollow, directed by Tim Burton, and it stars Johnny Depp. It was very good when I watched it.

Has anybody read the book or seen a movie intertaption of it?

My day spiraled into a whirlwind of adventure today when I got an urgent messege from the Queen of Worchester. She told me to get to the castle as quick as I good because the Kingdom was under attack. Before I even made it to the kingdom I could see the havoc the attackers had wreaked. the streets were crawling with uninvited guests. As I walked into the kingdom I began to see the wreckage the beasts had caused. It was mayhem. It looked like the entire castle had regurgitated it's contents. I made my way to the battle front as the attackers came at me. I fought them off one by one. Grabbing food from the dungeon to hold them off. Finally the battle slowed to a halt. And we knew that we had won. I helped the noble servants clean before I left, and told the Queen to call on someone else next time!

I got called in to work today at Gap, it was full of tourists! Everyone came at me from dif directions wanting this and that in another size/color. By the end the store was trashed.

It's a long shot, but this book - at least parts of it - have stuck with me for years, but I can't remember the title or author, and I've never been able to successfully search for it using plot keywords. I read it in 1986 and I believe it was a fairly recent release at that time.

The story revolves around a girl who believes her mother is dead, spending the summer with her grandmother. The girl ends up being convinced to sneak into what turns out to be an AA meeting where she discovers that her mother is actually alive.

2 things I particularly remember: one scene where the girl is pretending to be asleep while g-ma is trying to talk to her. The g-ma offers her her favorite ice cream - peanut butter and chocolate - but the girl still tries not to move - the g-ma says something like about seeing her jump. The other is at the end when the girl & g-ma are talking about seeing the mother and the g-ma refers to the friend who showed her the meeting as the "deus ex machina."

Any idea?
