Writers Does your character have time for a quick interview?


Question


Writers Does your character have time for a quick interview?
sorry for the repost, got deleted


Answer


. How do you feel about your full name? brbrTristelle Anne Reece? I like it, its pretty unique. I usually go by Trista though, just because it is easier for most people.brbr. What did you do for your last birthday?brbrUm, I had a quotpartyquot....brbr. Can you curl your tongue?brbrSure?brbr. What is your least favorite word?brbrHallucination... or mental illness, yeah I know thats two words...brbr. Have any pets? If not, why not? If so, tell me a little about them.brbrI had a dog when I was six, but he got hit by a car. Poor Toby. I have not had a pet since.brbr. What is your one greatest fear?brbrBeing in this place forever... Im not crazy!brbr. What are the three quotneversquot of your life?brbra. Never give up, no matter if they believe you or notbrb. Never let them tell you what to do, do what you know is rightbrc. Never get close to anybody, it only leads to painbrbr. It is time for us to part ways. How do you feel about that?brbrUm, bye?brbrBQ What book are you currently reading? Is it interesting so far?brbrI just started this book called Thre, but I am only two chapters into it, so I dont know how I feel about it yet.brbrBQ Twihard or twihater?brbrMeh leaning more towards a twihater, I am mostly just really really really annoyed by it. brbrBQ How do you feel about prologues? Good writing tool, or stay away?brbrI like them, and as a reader, I never skip over them. I dont want to miss something, so I think if you are going to read a book, read the prologue if there is one, because why would the author put it in there if it wasnt important?brbrBQ Strawberries or turtles? brbrBoth? Is that an acceptable answer? D



Would you read this part of my book, please, and tell me if you like it, hate it, or if you would read on?


Question

This is just the first draft.


Answer


It definitely catches me. A few things you might consider changing though the first sentence is a little convoluted. How about going with something like, quotMy heart is beating loudly in my earsquot. And it needs a bit of editing here quotMy eyes dart to Alec, WHOSE body LIES limp on the concrete roofquot, and maybe change the sentence after that to the more polished, quotI dont know if hes dead, or just unconscious, but I suspect the worst.quot For the sentence after that, I think quotMy eyes are DRAWN behind mequot, instead of WANDER DOWN. quotWander downquot sounds very casual, as if she has all the time in the world to look at the scenery, while quotdrawnquot sounds more like a compulsion, something she cant help but do. The tense in the sentence after that is wrong it should be quotoblivious to what IS going on above their headsquot. Another thing, is the antagonists name Gage or Gale? Because you switch them midway. And quotfollowersquot should be followers couldnt make it clear what I was referring to with the extra quotations, so I used dashes. One last thing, and its just a suggestion perhaps instead of quotfor I have cast it myselfquot casted isnt a word, the past tense of cast is also cast, just by the way, you could say quothaving cast it myself a number of timesquot. I think that flows better. And one last, LAST thing, in my opinion, you should use something different that Rosalie for your characters name, even if its just Rose due to a certain books popularity, I dont think your character will be taken as seriously as she would otherwise be.brSorry if I seem overly critical. You actually do have a good beginning here, and Id like to read more when you come up with it.

Question for girls who have read the Twilight books?


Question


Question for girls who have read the Twilight books?
Would you all say that you dream about having a relationship like Bella and Edwards??


Answer


If I am dreaming about it, then its a nightmare.brBoys need to have flaws and imperfections just the same as girls do. We like their naughty little quirks. No one wants a guy who never breaks the rules or is just perfect like that.brNo girl wants a body guard boyfriend. Edward is so protective it is a miracle that Bella didnt spontaneously combust. But that wouldnt have made for a very good story, now would it?brGuys who are extremely hot... kind of scary. We dont want boys to look like an angel. Its just kind of scary. We like imperfections.brAnd who would torture a girl with prom?! Come one, dancing? Sheesh. Boys need to respect a girls wishes, not hold her against her will and force her to do something she doesnt want to.brbrWell, I am speaking for all the girls I know, so I hope I dont offend any of the others who disagree with me.brHope this helps!brAnd if you are worried about a relationship, know this The girl might be nice, but if she dreams about Edward and better things, then she isnt the one for you. You need to find a girl who wont look twice at Edward because she loves you. So be you, because if you pretend to be someone you arent, then you will never love the girl who loves you.brGod bless brbrEdit I forgot to add my direct answer.brNO WAY!brOkay, now I feel better. I just dont want someone like Edward around.

Proof there is a God?


Question


Proof there is a God?
For those of you that love to ridicule faith, let me ask you this


Answer


Ugh. Congrats on making one of the most redundant and believe me, thoroughly refuted arguments. A certain amount of faith is required to live and function. One could very well make the argument that we dont know the sun wont explode and kill us all, within an hour. But one, there is plenty of evidence and experience suggesting that it probably wont, and two, if you assume that it will, just because you dont know that it wont, youll most likely destroy your life in the process. Theres a difference between that faith, and the quotbelieve in God just becausequot faith. If your argument holds true, anything I can dream up exists. To insist that one believe in God is no different than insisting that one believe in unicorns or Santa Claus. Do you know they dont exist? No? Then why dont you believe in them? You believe the sun will rise, dont you?brbrOn your next point, then where did God come from? Who created him? Hes just always been there? Why dont you explain why its impossible for all the matter in the universe to have simply existed. The laws of physics only state that we cant create more of it, not that it couldnt have simply always been there.brbrIf there is no God, why do we have a conscience? Well, why do we have any feelings? None of it does anything to support the existence of God. One makes associations between actions and experiencesconsequences. Feel like telling me why its impossible that you simply feel bad because you associate what you did with something negative? Why do some people not seem to have a conscience? Do you think its more likely that they fail to make connections between their actions and consequences, and lack empathy, or that God just forgot to give them one?brbrWhy are the conditions on this planet just right for the kind of life that exists on this planet? Because life developed in response to environment. Life developed to survive on this planet, based on the conditions on this planet. Can you say with certainty that life as we know it is the only form of life that exists? And even if it is, so life occurred on the planet whose conditions were favorable for it. No surprise there. No. No evidence there, either.brbrYou prove nothing. What you have is not proof. Its not even evidence. Dont be foolish enough to believe it is. Like all religious quotevidencequot, its just a complete misunderstanding of everything around you.
