“Are you boys ready yet?” Liz asked.
She had spent the whole morning rushing around gathering clothes, making lunches, signing homework, and washing faces. She sighed as she looked at the now ruined house. Everything was yanked from its place and scattered throughout her home.
“Drew, Mitch, Sammy!” she yelled.
“What?” shouted Drew.
“It’s time to go! We are all going to be late!”
“I’m almost ready!”
“Me too!” Mitch shouted
“Sammy are you ready?” asked Liz.
Liz could hear Sammy start to cry. She ran up the stairs, into his room, and found him in tears on the floor. He sat among various items such as: pencils, action figures, shirts, and stuffed animals.
“What’s wrong, Sammy?”
“I don’t know what to do.” Sammy moaned
“Well, what do you think you need to do?”
“I need to get ready for school.” Sammy replied
“Alright. Now what do you need to be ready?” Liz prodded
“Pencils!” Sammy grabbed a handful and shoved them into his backpack.
“Is that it?”
“No. I need my jacket.”

( LOTR BOOKS)

This is a verse written by Bilbo in referal to Aragorn. I like it so much that I memorised it. Here it is in full:

All that is gold does not glitter;
not all those who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not wither;
deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken;
a light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken;
the crownless again shall be king.

(If I made any mistakes please point them out, this was written by memory.)

based on the lives of either Queen Zenobia of the Palmyrene empire or Queen Boudica. I finished reading the Memoirs of Cleopatra by Margaret Geroge a while back and I am interested in reading more about other poweful queens such as Cleopatra. If anyone can make any recommendations it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

GWTW is one of my favorite novels. I love the character development, storyline, & raw emotion. It's a great book. The film version, while an amazing feat of American cinema, was undoubtedly terrific, but couldn't touch the book.

When first released, I read Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley. The critics panned it. The miniseries was awful. Personally, I kinda liked it. It showed how Scareltt's character changed and evolved through time. While much of the plot was a little weird, I liked how she took Scarlett and built upon Margaret Mitchell's flawed herione.

Now, Rhett Butler's People is out. I am about 1/2 way through it, and I am a little confused. The novel is not a "sequel." Rather, it's a parallel novel. In some ways, I am irritated at how he's monkeying with Margaret MItchell's vision, adding scenes and concepts and taking liberties. While I am enjoying learning about the other people in Rhett's life, there's not much about HIM so far.

Anyone else feel this way?

I'm writing a fanfiction, I need some adjectives to describe Neville... I've ran out of them.

Note that the adjectives I need are to be in Neville's favour therefore no "forgetful" and "silly". :)

If you're writing a book that you'd like to have published, is there a rule against discussing it online? I'm thinking specifically about online communities, such as message boards. If you were to post about the book you're writing and the publisher knew of it, would they have a problem with it?

First of all I'm writing a story that takes place in Ireland. The problem is, I have never been to Ireland before. I am from the US, but I have Irish heritage, and I am very interested in IE. I have done LOTS of research on Irish slang and terminology, and have incorporated it carefully into my writing. But, the question is, do I really have a right to write something that involves real irish characters if I have never actually been to that country? I guess if the answer is no...I should start planning a trip! Any ideas or suggestions would help, and please no insults.... :P

I have been reading quite a few books recently with complicated story lines that involve generations of characters and their relationships. How do you come up with all those names? How do you keep track of the familial ties and the relationships?
