I am finnished writing a pretty good length book. It is kind of Da Vinci code esque... if thats even a word. Mystery/thriller/historical fiction, containing a lot of fact.
How do I go about getting it published? could someone please walk me through the process?

Thanks.

what music is playing right before the "rumble"?
like when The gang is "walking" down the street and Darry is telling Soda and Pony to leave if the fuzz shows. What song is that?

I am a poor schoolteacher, and she is a very pretty daughter of a very wealthy farmer. I do not even have my own house.
And they do have a mighty good stock of food, and I am a great eater. You should have seen their poultry yard and their pig sty!

My uncle, Ebenezer Balfour, tried to kill me! He is very miserly. He asked me to fetch a chest from the top tower and I found out that the stairs simply end after several steps and fall into the abyss.
He was planning to kill me so as not to have to give over his inheritance.
He didn't allow me to use any light, and it was dark, and he told me that the stairs were great, and I could find my way easily.
What should I do?

I came across an ad that said they were looking for book submissions. However when I went to their website http://www.tvpress.com/ they seem mainly to published books by Robert Stanek. There were only two other authors with a book each listed. Is this some company run by one guy doing a print-on-demand deal somewhere?

I was reading The Golden Compass(which is such a good book) and it said something about the "Dust" being original sin. What is original sin?

My business partner, Jacob Marley, died seven years ago, (dead as a doornail)and now i am seeing his ghost everywhere! I saw his face on my doorknocker, on the carvings on his mantelpiece, then the bells in the house started ringing, and the ghost of Marley appeared, wearing a long chain, with the objects, representing his sins (ledgers, money boxes, keys and so on). He talked to me and said that I would wear the same chain after I died, and mine would be longer (I am in a money lending business)! He told me to change my ways, and that three more ghosts would visit me! I do not drink, do not smoke, do not take drugs, in a good health, and had some gruel for supper! What should I do?

If you are a writer (particularly a fiction writer), and you plan to write a series of maybe three or four books, how can you write them all so that they are all unique and fresh? How do you prevent yourself from making the plot in your books sound too repetitious/similar to each other? Outlining? Brainstorming? Are there any other methods that could prove useful?

Any feedback would be helpful...

When they find the core sample with the bug, it says that it led to panspermia, or the idea that all life started from elsewhere in the universe. Later, it says that the asteroid hit in 1776. It also says that meteorite is 170 million years old. If it hit Earth in 1716, how did it start all life forms? DECEPTION POINT.

'Lydia and Sylvia Granger had lived together for the last 45 years, in the house that their father had willed to them upon his passing 45 years ago. Today was Sylvia’s 80th birthday; tomorrow would be Lydia's. They had been born exactly 2 minutes apart: Sylvia at 11:59 PM, and Lydia at 12:01 AM. Lydia had always resented Sylvia’s being the older sister, as she had always lorded it over her when it came time to make decisions regarding the management of their lives together in that old house.'

Did it make you want to read more? What are your first impressions of the characters? Thank you SO much to anyone that does this. These reviews keep me writing.

Don't make fun of me for this. But, I think I have a crush on a fictional character. Well, it's actually Jem Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird. It's kind of embarrassing. Well I just finished reading the book and watching the movie for school and well I sort of liked him while reading it and then when I saw the movie and it kind of brought him to life I guess not to mention he's really cute. Really cute. (OMG) (lol) Normally I would talk to my friends about this kind of thing but they aren't supportive with this kind of stuff. I think about Jem a lot and it's making me kind of sad thinking about it. Any advice? Have any of you had this problem before? I need some really good advice!

About a week ago, I took some pains to write an answer to a question about a Shakespearean tragedy, posted it, and then reconsidered and deleted it because I thought it might enable someone to plagiarize and turn it in for a class assignment as his own work. What happened instead is that another answerer, most of whose answers are on computer-related subjects, somehow retrieved it and posted it as his own, with only the opening words "Funny as it may seem" substituted for my "Ironically"--otherwise it was my answer word for word. Then at the end he actually asked for his answer to be chosen best. I reported it and thought that the matter had been resolved, but this evening I found that "his" answer had been chosen best, with mine posted right under it, so that one might think I had copied from him instead of vice versa. As I said, most of this person's answers are on computer-related subjects, while many others of mine are on subjects similar to that of this particular answer.
