For a novel. I know for the ones I've read the climax and ending is usually brought around in about 7-10 chapters. I would like to know because I want it to be quick and have a good impact, and not long, boring and drawn out ... but I don't want to to be too quick or too slow. What is a good way to do this in, to wrap up a novel?

When writing fiction, is it better to refer to characters by their first or last names? Are there special rules for if they're high ranking government or military figures? What about soldiers?

If I were to start the prologue of a story with a woman telling a story her mother used to tell her as a child (this is fantasy) about how a certain race came into being and then was forced into seclusion, would you want to read on? It is more about a war of power, and someone who wants to eliminate an entire race. Would this be a good opening, or would you not want to read on? I do not trust posting any of it here, or else I would ... so if not, how could I change it? Should it not be told as a "childs tale" and actually told as a real story about a young boy? Or should it be introduced in the book later? This is my first time so I am not quite sure on how to write openings yet, and what is catching to a lot of people ... it's soiunds quite dull when I explain it on here, but it is better on paper.

Any suggestions? Thanks! :)

I don't remember much about it but I believe it involves a werewolf or some other scary thing and someone gets stuck on the ride. I believe at the end everything us fine but it leaves you hanging about the creature. Something about how maybe it never happened.

I don't know what it would be classified as. It is about relationships, but not a romance. Maybe a right of passage thing? Anyway, I only have about 17,000 words, so it'll be a little while before I finish. But I would like to have an idea as to what to do and expect. I am an unpublished first time author, but have recieved good preliminary criticism from friends and from anonymous reads.

I have a friend who's read since she was very young, and still reads voraciously. She's familiar with an abundance of literary figures, whereas I know next to nothing. Having adopted the habit of reading only very recently, what chance do I have in matching her literary prowess?

and!! what benefits would one recieve from being familiar with literature?

It's a funny novel. A soldier is sent to guard a plane that has come down in a russian village, and his superiors forget about him.
It is a commentary on his life and interaction with the villagers

Yes, I am thinking of “paying” for my own publication on poetry due to the simple fact that not many people buy poetry books so it will be very hard to find a Publishing House willing to accept poetry (unless your name’s already out there right?)

I have been all over the Internet and am exhausted from doing research. I would like to find a place where I can design the cover and title and add pictures to the poems. The initials for the title would be S.H.A.D. and so far, this is what I’ve come up with
Shadow’s
Hypnotic
Asylum
Debris

I am just completely stumped as to where to go from here (sigh) although I want a totally mixed up book of poetry, not just your usual “Love” n such, you know what I mean?

Any help is greatly appreciated *^_^*
