    Random: Is your character's name in your story's title?

    Q's in the title. Short story, novella, or novel, whatever you're writing. None for me. BQ: What do you think about books that carry the protags name in the title? ie: Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, etc.

    Deathly Hallows hardcover worth the price?

    Arr, I accidentally deleted my question. So, here goes again... I have a 50% off Borders coupon. With the last coupon I got The Half-Blood prince for about $15 in hardcover. But, I bought it because I really liked the movie and think I'll really like the book. This is the last HP book for me...

    Writers: Is it easier to write the novel or come up with the idea?

    I know many people say they really want to write a book but just need an idea. So, for you, which comes easiest: Writing the novel or conjuring a good idea that you can make original within your own right? For me, ideas are a dime a dozen. I don't think I'll ever run out. Though, I do only...

    Anyone have a Nokia phone?

    Where do you download music for your phone. I tried the Nokia site from my phone but it says it's "coming soon" which is utter crap because I like to listen to music. I can't download music from a computer because I don't have one anymore. I have some music on my aunt's computer, but she's using...

    Who knows about locked and unlocked phones?

    Are unlocked phones pricier than locked phones? I'm thinking about buying an unlocked phone. Are there any reliable places to get them? I've found many on Amazon.com and they dont' come with warranties and some of them are the international version (I don't know what that means). I might buy...

    Is Shark Tank coming back to TV?

    Does anyone remember this show on ABC from earlier this year? Does anyone know if it's coming back next fall? I really liked the show and want to see more of it. Has it been canceled? Just to jog your memory, it was a panel of four business people (one women, three men) and regular people...

    What have you learned about writing through trial and error?

    When you're writing. What have you learned about yourself or about writing with the mistakes you've made? Me: I've learned that I work better writing a full plot instead of an outline. I've learned that it also benefits me to write a chapter or scene and edit it and then move on to the next one...

    He's highly educated, am I good enough for him?

    I met a great guy online and we seemed to have hit it off on the first date. He wants to see me again. Normally, I wouldn't feel this self conscious, but he's so ambitious I wonder "why me"? He's only 26 and in a PhD program at a prestigious school researching neuroscience. He even went to...

    Does anyone have an MFA in creative writing or is in the program?

    I'm working on my novel to submit as part of my MFA package, and my writing needs lots of work. It's only the first 17 pages. I obviously don't write on a professional level. Do you think this will hurt my chances? Or, do they not expect perfection? I think the purpose of the writing sample is...

    Aspiring authors: Are you grounded in reality or do you want to be told how easy it is?

    [I value honesty and won't look down on anyone who does want to be told it's easy and doesn't want to hear criticism. Just be honest with your answers and true feelings.] I've noticed for several months now that many people (mostly teens) don't want to be told how hard it is to get published...

    I have an acrylic painted canvas that I sprayed lightly with a varnish. Can I paint

    over it? The painting is on a canvas. The medium is acrylic. I used Grummbacher - final resin based varnish for oil & acrylic. I want to re-apply a solid background color. Do you think this will be a problem, without removing the varnish? If so, what problem could this create? Thanks a lot.
