Books & Authors - September 2007

Hi,
I have a few stories I'd like to post online, but all I can find is for publishing. I don't plan on being an author, I actually want to be a film maker, anyway... anyone know the best place to post stories for free and where a lot of people go...

Thanks,

~JaydenKore~

Hello i wanted to know if there was a name for those things (sometimes they look like: ... ) which break up text within a novel or a short story and they show a shift in time or place or a dream

the intro into a story can be the most important part. i want to see if this flows well. let me know

My son, Franklin Eric Dawes, was born in a Memphis hospital in July of 1973 just before dawn. I considered giving him up to a family that could afford to give him a good life, where he could grow up with both a mother and father and maybe a tire swing in the backyard. In the end though, I just couldn't do it.
He was mine, and i was going to keep him. I would just have to figure out the rest as I went.
His father was long gone and living in Washington by the time he was born. He had made it abundantly clear that he wanted nothing to do with a child. His feeble attempt at responsibility came as a red-faced offer to pay for an abortion, which I refused. We never spoke again after that....


so, does this make you want to read on?

I want to know if there is a website in which you can read novels, not old ones but new ones.

If the following sentence was the first line of the opening paragraph to a long novel that you were going to write, how would you write the rest of the paragraph??

The market, a large open square with wooden houses on two sides, some containing first-floor shops, was crowded with various carts laden with grains, vegetables, wood, hides, and whatnot.

Audio or even good essays on popular/classic novels. I found a 10 piece audio lecture on Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov on Itunes from UC Berkeley which I found very interesting. Thanks

This question is for any avid readers, aspring writers out there like myself, or any full blown authors out there who may be answering. I read a review which said that it's hard to avoid cliches when writing a story with a protagnist who is a writer, but the review never really went into depth about this. I was wondering if anyone knew what the cliches are. I would really like to know since I am curently composing a story about a writer.

Is it better to go with a traditional publishing service or do you really need a publishing agent first?

The fountain of youth is such a thing that causes joviality in any man, let alone a pirate. Captain Butch, the epitome of a man obsessed with finding such a treasure, was bemused, wondering how he could find the Flue of Death, the passageway that led to the Island of Life, on which the fountain of youth was located. As Captain Butch was lost in thought, an old man boarded his ship, and was immediately surrounded by the crew, without having to be conjured by their captain. Captain Butch drew his sword, as he stared at the man. The man, seemingly finding something humorous about the situation, said “Foolish men, I come to aid you in your quest, and you threaten me?” “What quest do you speak of old man?”, said Captain Butcher, confused.

I have a problem. I want to be a published author. And I love to write. But that's only when I get the feeling to write. Most other times, I don't want to write at all. The feeling just comes and goes and hasn't ever been permenant. How do I get myself to write something more often? All the time if possible. I also have a problem with writing and actually finishing. Should I keep it up? Am I destined to be a writer? Or should I quit while I'm ahead? Or do I just need a bit of self-discipline?
