Okay, the book takes place in a post-apocalyptic present-day; a fatal virus called D18 has wiped out virtually everyone over the age of 18 off the face of the earth, and the kids have to survive on their own; the plot focuses on a group of kids that are taking refuge in a closed-campus high school and are creating their own community to survive.

Any ideas for a SERIOUS title that I could use?

I've been writing for a few years now and I'd like to get something published, but I always get beaten by the same problem. I get one piece going, and then a ways into it I get ideas for another and start working on a new story, and so on. At the moment I've got anywhere from 4-6 pieces of writing going at the same time. I'd like to know if there is a way to fix this so I can actually get something finished. I've tried just taking notes, but those notes tend to quickly turn into a story with me. Should I just ignore the ideas?

where the author wrote his own biography and told every detail of how his mind works and his deepest sin and secrets, the kind that if one person has, they supress it into a childhood nightmare, kind of sin...if not, if one eventually made such a topic would you enjoy it. just imagine the secrets a high degree of perversion and anything repulsive

I mean he was with the guy! He's got experience, first hand! Wouldn't it have been better if he led the party, and Professor Van Helsing was consultant?

What I'm looking for is a place to post my written work so that I can get other people's opinions on them, kind of like a "peer review" that everyone used to do back in grade school. I'm assuming a place like that would be some sort of blog site. I enjoy writing in my free time so I was just looking for a place to get some feedback. Thanks in advance for the help. :-)

I have to discuss the topic of Magic and Darkness in the story of Othello; although I've read the book and have it infront of me I still have a hard time in finding what significant meanings and themes in the book relate to Magic and Darkness..

I know that the handkerchief has a magical significance but I don't think I know enough about it for a 5 page paper; also the use of darkness in the play confuses me; I know Iago is represented by this darkness; but what other Magic and Darkness related themes are in the play that are not as obvious? I need some very complexed arguments in my paper to pass this class.

My entire problem is coming up with a good argument and supporting it with enough facts without BSing the whole way through.

Those of you who know or even think you know the answer please help.

Thank you.

Like "Elements of Style" or some other style guide, or do you leave that part to an editor?
Also, do you have someone to read your work to get feedback on the quality?

A person who has a mountain of merit, but it doesn't matter b/c corrupt people hold him down, making political/favoritistic decisions.

And so, he can never reach his dream because his biggest barrier is the free will of others.

I'm looking for fiction

The book by Harry Pearson.
Now I loved this and repeatedly laughed out loud.
But there I suspect it does help to be a middle-aged man whose childhood involved making plastic kits and arranging hordes of toy soldiers.
Two questions:
Has anyone else read and enjoyed it?
And if you have are you a young female, or otherwise outside the obvious target audience?

In the "Final Problem" where the reader is first introduced to Prof. Moriarty, when Holmes askes Watson to flee to the continent with him Watson agrees, stating that his wife is away for some weeks visiting relations.
Then in the second story of the book "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" in the "Adventure of the Norwood Builder" we find that Watson has sold his medical practice and is again living with Holmes in Baker Street. What happened to Watson's wife, and his marriage? And in which story are we, the reader told about it?
