I love to write stories--not short silly ones but long serious ones. The problem is that I keep leading myself to a writer's block and make it so dull. I don't want to get into the exciting parts of the plot right away and I want to have a 30-40 page long part of the story in the beginning before I get to the exciting parts of the story where things start to unravel. The problem is that I can't accomplish that and I was wondering if someone could help me out here. Like instruct me on what I should do to prevent/get myself out of this situation
Terry brooks, a great author of very long books says, about writers block(paraphrased):
"When you get writers block, your subconscious is telling you one of two things: either you missed something and you should go back, or you've grown bored with your own story and should quit it, because if you're bored writing it, the readers will be bored reading it"
I think that's pretty good advice to follow.

I am a Christian, and always have been. I pray at LEAST every other day, I occassionally go to church, I repent, I try to limit how much I sin, and I believe that Jesus is God's son.
I used to be very certain that I would end up in Heaven. But recently, I came across a Bible verse that has been on my mind for a while. It's Matthew 7:13-14.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a fiew find it."
Now I'm basically VERY worried about not making it to Heaven. The Bible says that it's hard to get in, but it also says that believing in Jesus is the only thing you need in order to get into Heaven. So I don't know what to do. =[
I'm also kind of starting to wonder about other religions. I think "If Christianity isn't the true religion, then I'll go to Hell forever", so I worry even MORE.
Please help. I don't need reassurance. I need answers.
The bible is full of contradictions, you just have to deal with it. Talk to your priest for more info on that passage.
Abrahamic(Islam, Judaism, and Christianity) religions are among the few religions that have "eternal hell". Dharmic(Buddhism, Taoism) religions have a hell, but it's temporary. Pagan(Wicca and others) religions don't have a hell, you get into "heaven" no matter what. So no matter which is correct, you're in the safest position, unless you think another abrahamic religion could be correct.
If you need any more help, you can contact me at theymos@lycos.com . I'm not Christian, but I've always been fascinated by religions and I know a lot about many of their teachings.

I have this one friend. He is decent enough offline, but online he is extremely annoying. He IMs me the second I sign on and if I do not answer any of his IMs withing thirty seconds, he spams my IM with "PLZZZZ TLKKKK!!" and such. Seriously, one time he was doing that to my away message for over an hour. He is also pretending to like A Clockwork Orange because I do, which is extremely irritating. He even talks like them now. He is also obsessed with the 60s and that is one of the only things he ever talks about. I can't tell him because it'll really hurt him, but...ugh, he greatly annoys me online. I've tried not answering what he writes or saying I'm busy at the moment, but you can only do that for so long. Blocking him is not an option because we have the same friends pretty much.
Any ideas on what to do?
Tell him or deal with it. He'll get over anything you say eventually.

im 5'6 100 lbs. A lot of people think i'm too skinny and others even go around saying i'm anorexic, which i'm not. I don't care that people say that, but i'm wondering if i'm underweight. Is that too skinny?
You are slightly underweight. At your hight you should be about 115 lb. You should certainly not be on a diet or anything, you should actually try to gain some weight to reach 115 lb.

Ok, first I'm 16/f and a junior in high schoo. And I'm smart, I'm in honors and AP classes. But for some reason I can't seem to talk during discussions and stuff. Like I'm too scared to raise my hand because I'm afraid I'll give the wrong answer and feel like an idiot or something. Even though I'm telling myself I have the right answer I don't try. I feel like I can't talk about something as well as the others in my classes. And I'm really quiet if I do answer, like I don't want anyone to hear me. My English teacher even told me I have good ideas and that I should speak up more, but I can't sem to be able to do that. So anyone have an idea about what's wrong with me? Thanks!
Nothing's wrong with you. Everyone is different, you dont need to change how you do things or do things you're not comfortable with. Only answer questions when you feel like it, don't feel forced into answering, that'll make you feel worse.
