beautyqueen26 For years, I wrote shorts stories as well. Most times when I wanted to locate a potential publisher, I would consult "The Writer's Digest". It's the definitive book for writers who want to get their work published. There is also a handbook by the same company...

patgalca Publishers and editors will not look at unsolicited manuscripts. They will only look at work being pitched to them by agents. Your first step would be to an agent. You would go directly to the publisher if it is non-fiction. Self-publishing is another route...

CoffeeAnyone Yes I think self publishing is a great idea for you. But if you believe in your story why not research a few top publishing companies and send your short story to them. If they like it maybe they will get you stretch it to a short story book and or suggest you...

Wingedman I would still recommend going the agent route first though. It is worth a try. Self-publishing can be a pain. You shoulder all the costs and burden of promoting your work. Isn't it better to at least try to have someone pay you for your book instead? Look at a...

is definately The Notebook. It's such a great story and well proformed by GREAT actors. I think it's Rachel McAdams best work yet. And i have only seen Ryan Gosling in this movie so i don't really have a basis for comparison, but...

Nhea G. I certainly can't judge you in any way. All I can say is, your mom is your everything. No matter how angry or how you disagree with her. She would always and still be your mom. For you not to argue..the best thing to do is just accept what she has to say and...

alokkarn You can disagree, argue, violate orders but never get into a physical fight with your mother. That, to me is crossing the limits of decency with any other living being, more so with one who is so dear as your mother. But all the while that you disagree, argue,...

pilotjune1972 Well chrys84 it seems your mom is proud that you'd had a fistfight with her, and she even joked about it. But she's still your mother and i really can't imagine having a physical contact with her, especially fist fights. Just try to keep yourself calm, always,...

trk918 Maybe she's just scared. She isn't very out going & sometime that means a person is very shy. You could just try asking her to go to lunch or just say "Hi". Start out small. She may feel the same way you do.

sakana My sister and I are quite similar and we're only 2 years apart so we're also quite close, but I'm definitely more outgoing and open than her. I think you should find out if she keeps an online journal or a blog so you can read it and maybe get to know more...
