Answer 3

the place where i grew up was small but safe, kind people were all around me and i always had what i wanted because i had a loving and caring parents and family.

i like the quality of forginveness. because its what keeps us going and what keeps the whole world a connected net.

my favorite novel is "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" because the story is about reality and an illness that very few suffer from, but the suffering of these people was worth writing the novel in the first place. plus the novel is really unique. i've read many novels and this is the only one that i keep reading again and again. i also like books written by james patterson [you keep reading and reading and never notice the time].

i would like to travel to LA. i saw a lot of movies that were shooted there, the celebrities, the fame and the money is all there. so i would like to see it in reality. maybe i can come across angeline jolie in flesh. lol

i would like to live in a country were people are religious. because a country with these people is a safe and forgiving country.

the first thing that comes to my mind is my boyfriend. lol.

The most eccentric person was the owner of my job, she would say whatever was on her mind, it took awhile to earn her respect, and she said EVERYONE Is DISPOSIBLE. But she worked hard and suffered a lot of personal setbacks to get to where she was.

I like HONEST even if you don't want to hear it.

Charolettes Web, because it was about hope.

Travel throught the U.S. and see what it has to offer.

Would like to live on the Lake front and have a boat.

The ocean.

Answer 5

You're not getting answers to all, but I'll answer a couple for you mate.

A quality I like in others is generosity.

I don't have a favourite novel. However, Captain Corelli's Mandolin has to be up near the top somewhere...

When I closed my eyes I saw eternal blackness. I think I had been staring at the computer screen too long as everything seemed a bit unsteady like I was going to fall.

Yes. These answers are rubbish. From experiance, it seems that when writing something as special as ones own novel, you have to connect with the characters and events. Surely you can only do that if you conceive them yourself? They have to develop in your own mind for you to be able to write about them. You have to know them and trust in them before you can persuade other people (ie your potential readers) to do the same.

Answer 6

i grew up in a house where the adults would argue most everyday.

The most eccentric person I can think of is my ex-neighbor who has about 40 cats. She has a good heart, nonetheless.

I really like people who are fair and honest in their dealings with other people.

My favorite novel is "Friday" by Robert Heinlein, because it introduced me to Science Fiction which I love.

I would love to travel to Alaska, because it looks so beautiful, and it is very cold.

The place I would most like to live is probably in Russell, Kansas, where they have lots of cheap houses. And also because I want to live in a small town again.

The first thing that comes to mind when I close my eyes is how loud my computer is.

Answer 7
