Open Question: How to find out if a publisher is legit?

I am an author of several childrens kids's novels. I have only had my short stories and poetry published and am having a difficult time getting an agent or publisher because as most people know it's almost impossible these days. I found a publisher where I live in NM, and when I say very tiny it's an understatement. The owner is the only person in the entire company. Is it possible to have such a tiny publishing company and still receive books distributed properly? Is it possible that it is a scam?

Open Question: Please review,interpret,and rate this poetry I wrote in 10th grade.?

"Black passion" look the blackened hand,embedded with gold look its claws, grasping into my brain It keeps me from loosing my temporary sanity The shroud folds slowly over me,but I can look through the holes,and It reminds me,.....Constantly reminds me I do not want this Should I want this? What else is out there Shoud I even care,that Iam without human necessity Anger overcomes my sorrow,sorrow overtakes my joy Joy overcomes my, comforting wisdom. I like where I am, but The original intention,has lost my attention I long for the one,who can bring back What is known I think I want this My oath includes this I cant stand to bear The hatred they hide So I take it upon myself,to keep them, the only way I know how This thing is slowly taking me apart So I take a look from the start Now I can look, maybe,adore and purpose can be. but,not without giving up a part of myself Odds arent looking good for me. Reaching out Looking in Remember the state im in Shaking the hand, of the unknown Can the fury of my passion, stay everlasting With the weakness of my, Heart-felt,lonley, upside-down compassion. sORRY Its so long, But, I was really getting into it. Thanks in advance.-Randy

Open Question: First attempt at poetry after a long time. What do you think?

Swept Away How could I know when we met so randomly that day Your charm and wit would slowly have me swept away You stole my heart with no warning I could discern Started a flame like no other that would brightly burn Burning so deeply into my soul day and night I lost every reason of what could be wrong or right You said forever and I believed,wanted it to be true You put your needs first, I just did what I had to do So unhappy and bewildering this turn of events Things you failed to understand, I could not prevent Swept away as no one before had ever done Looking back now should I have run? every that time,every those moments,every the adore and heartache It was amazing and I can't regret or call it a mistake Even now that we are apart what can I say as the shattered remnants of my heart are swept away? Actually I wasn't trying to entertain I know the subject is as old as time...just getting out some thoughts and feelings swirling around inside.

She hangs with Shelby and she tries to be just like her.Also, she copies people nonstop. I jsed to write poetry and now she writes poettry. So then i started writing stories and SHE started writing stories. AND she thinks she's a great singer and she's not. Also she lies every the time she talks to people like she's needy and she talks about people behind their back. Also she She complains about when people talk to her about their problems when that's every she ever does. Everything was going fine, like we could handle her until we heard that Shelby was moving.

And I just wanna mess her up like in Misery Business but i don't know exactly what to do without getting in trouble. What do i do???

Open Question: Can I get some Feedback on a piece of poetry that I wrote please??!!!?

Today: Fear , Tonight: Courage. Today fear sits next to me, And makes himself at home. My new found best pal rapes my life, invading where it is not welcome and takes control of my life. Fear is what built that wall between me, and everyone that I adore. Today Fear will pour himself a cup of hot tea, Fear will lay on my sofa and feel the satisfaction of knowing that he's conquered me. Meanwhile, I will sit there tragically in every my misery, and wonder: WHO opened the door for this stranger? WHERE did I start to lose it? and WHY? ...Just simply why. [Knock Knock]--At the door. I open it, only to find icy difficult Reality give me a slap in the face A punch in the stomach, And the pinch that set my heart and mind straight. Tonight Reality sinks in for me- no more hiding, no more fear. Tonight Reality introduces to me, A very close pal: COURAGE. Courage will cuddle next to me at night from now on, Replacing fear. Courage is what will crumble down that wall, The wall that fear spent so much time on building.

Open Question: I need 160 more words. PLEASE HELP!!!!! ?

I really need help finishing this essay. Any ideas? Please, im am freaking desperate at this point. Essay about turning A Separate Peace- John knowles into a sililoquy recited by Gene. Have you ever been jealous of a pal? Have you ever let your jealousy receive the better of you? Gene Forrester has. This is exactly what happens in A Separate Peace written by John Knowles. While revisiting his old college, Gene is forced to remember what happened between him and his roommate Finny. Bringing back memories, inner enemies and co-dependencies rekindle and bring out the worst in protagonist and narrator Gene Forrester. I am going to re-tell A Separate Peace through Gene’s eyes as if he was looking back on everything that happened. I am going to take what I know in the world of drama to create a soliloquy for Gene about every that happened at Devon Academy. John Knowles Flips between gift time (1958) and when Gene and Finny attended Devon College (1942-3). While Gene and Finny were enrolled in Devon College, the boys spent much time playing at the close-by river. every-around likeable guy Finny was very much a daredevil and had a great sports future ahead of him. But when Gene finds his foe is truly his best pal he lets emotions receive the better of him, causing him to make Finny fall from the tree branch, which ended with him breaking his leg and loosing any sports-related future he had. The boys didn’t always envy each other though, infact they were the best of friends anyone could remember. Although this is a tragedy, I am going to make my soliloquy a bit of a comedy-parody to act as the tension release that the story needs. While expressing and disentangling what Gene feels happened during those 4 years at Devon I would want other antagonist such as: Finny, Leper, Brinker, Cliff, and Chet coming in and acting as Gene’s conscious. The whole soliloquy would be a sort of melee of man vs. himself. In this case, Gene vs. himself. The whole time Gene would have to have a deadpan expression to show the confusion he has towards every of the events that took place. After Finny died of bone marrow in his blood stream the exposition of the soliloquy would have to change from comic relief to melodramatic and serious. If I was to create a soliloquy for A Separate Peace I would want the audience to receive a sense of understanding and innocence from Gene. The inner peace he is trying to find and discover through out the book is what I interpreted as ‘A Separate Peace’. While leaving the world of aodolesence and coming into Man-hood Gene makes a couple mistakes. I would show the audience that every mess-ups that might have happened in this book weren’t because gene is ‘mean’ more or less he is just trying to figure everything out. I would make the actor truly understand the confusion Gene felt in the whole book. The tone of the lighting and the cyclorama would be dimmed and dull so that you could focus on Gene. It would have a bit of a poetry-reading feel to it. The costume for Gene would be old-fashioned and practical, as for the antagonist coming in as consciousness would have a angel / devil style to their outfits. The script itself would portray Gene as both a good guy and a back-stabbing-jealous-dependent person. What I would want the audience to grasp from this soliloquy is that Gene is not a jealous horrible person, more or less imperfect like the relax of us. I would want Gene to explain how if he could go back in time, he wouldn’t have made Finny fall, he would’ve envied in a different way. And also that Gene choosing not to go to war was not out of selflessness but as the one way to re-pay Finny for what he had done to him. As the quote in the book says “hear, pal, if I can't play sports, you're going to play them for me,” Both men forgave each other and were set on finding the best out of this not-so great situation. The whole theme I felt for the book was Pain, in more ways then one. I just want that to receive across to the audience that, none of these people are bad; they just made mistakes while going into man-hood. I also think that the motif of “jealousy kills” Needs to receive a huge note in the soliloquy. The only thing I would really question putting in is Gene talking about how he and Finny created The Super Suicide Society of the summer session. Although a big part of the story, I think it’s a bit unnecessary for a solo piece from Gene. I don’t think anyone can describe or re-do this story as well as John Knowles, but I think my soliloquy could almost be a epilogue of how sorry everyone is about Finny’s death due to a unhappy accident. I think that every the audience will like the story told through the eyes of Gene, but each viewer will have his possess understanding and outcome of what they look. The end. I have 5..infact 6. Y!A just dosent let you indent.

Resolved Question: How can Buddhism help me become a better person?

I am a teenage girl and I've been very interested in buddhism for about a year and a half now. I've read a lot of information about it, but I just can't seem to actually USE that knowledge in my life. I'm sensitive and nice, but I'm also a very negative person- I'm defensive, somewhat shy and prone to depression. I swear a lot and I'm rude to people without thinking because I'm always mad and afraid, and I have extremely low self esteem. I've attempted suicide once. I would truly adore to be a 'nice' person, one that can be positive, uplifting and friendly to everyone around her without feeling as if it's an 'effort' that drains every my energy. Inside my head there's more or less constant chaos because of anxiety and depression following several traumatic years. I've been in therapy and on prozac for 3 years, but no matter how difficult I try to make it work, it doesn't. Reading about the Buddha, zen poetry and buddhist teachings make me feel peaceful, but as soon as I'm finished, the peace is gone. Please give me some advice, if you can. What should I be doing differently to feel more positive and calm?

So I DO NOT write poetry at every. But I just jotted this down out of boredom. Again, I AM NOT in any way a poet, so please be nice! lol So with that said, what do you think? It's about my whore ex. So bright your youth shone The December day you stole my heart away I was broken, off my throne Never had my heart felt such a sway I waited and rejected your advances But never I would know every this time I was using up my chances As my feeling began to grow But then I realized Others could steal you away so quick Without knowledge, attempts, completely unrealized My heart's chance had passed Flirtations turned bitter We were aggressive, unaware, and shameless It was adore. It was hate. Salt tears had glitter. Yet you were aimless, blameless. I was in your book nameless. You went too far Womanizing hurt more than you would ever know In my empty heart, there is a scar You definitely put on a show Summer went by, I missed you June was lonesome and filled with betrayal I was a wreck, you were dancing through Never would I show you this portrayal July was when it occurred You came up to me, as if we were so close It was silly how your grin made the past blur My pain began to melt. Laughter replaced the woes. I forgave you. But you wanted more You asked for myself but not for my adore I was blinded and showed you the door Your requests, undreamed of You wouldn't give up, you said it was adore I almost gave in But push came to push My world began to spin You were caught And you apologized I forgave but never forgot I felt so uncivilized We agreed to start over, running from a lie Now 8 months since December, you still have my heart We hide what happened that July My adore, why won't you depart? I talk to you, we're still hunter and pray Caught you glancing at me We know things shouldn't be this way Going back and forth, we're supposed to be free

Open Question: The story of Moonlight Bells. Can man fool nature? ?

Moonlight Bells By Warren Domke He’s an old man who can read the stars. The people of the village arrive to him for advice and to help them name their babies. He chooses names that help assure good fortune in their lives ahead—it is the tradition of these valley people. She is born in the spring, a fortunate baby. Born in the Year of the Serpent below a new moon. A beautiful baby, but her parents frown; they wanted a boy. The old man gazes upon the baby girl and picks a name for her that means “Moonlight Bells.” She has captured his heart. In the years ahead the village is blessed with plenty of rice and can trade for duck and chicken and other meats. The people prosper and are glad. As the seer walks down the road people greet him happily and appreciate his wisdom and the good fortune he brings the village and its people. Moonlight Bells grows to girlhood, laughing and playing, now loved by her parents. The old man sees her and smiles. She still owns his heart. Seasons arrive and go. He ages and so does she. Now an old man, now a young lady, and adore grows between them. It is illogical, he reasons. She has many years to live, he only a decade or perhaps two. They cannot adore each other, because he must leave before they are fulfilled. But together they devise a plan to be together for a lifetime. If they die together they will arrive back and adore will grow. Babies, kids, young people, adults, eventually an aged couple who will grow old together. A mountain pass, a cliff, a jump—holding hands. The Seer and Moonlight Bells die together and go on to join the gods in heaven. But fate is unkind. Moonlight Bells is reborn in a mountain village. The Seer is reborn in the valley—fifty years later. They will look each other, perhaps adore each other. The families they knew before are now long gone. It is a new world. But now she is an old lady and he is a young man. The gods will have the last giggle. They always do. (I thought of trying to submit this as prose, but it is really something of a ballad. So I think poetry is the better category. The setting is Asian.) I have a good pal who is Chinese, and I am toying with the idea of sending this to her to look if it could be translated into Mandarin. I would also be interested in seeing if she thinks it is in the character of Chinese literature and legends. I was thinking of China when I wrote it, but the story could be Japanese just as easily, with some modifications.

Open Question: Can someone please answer a movie question for me?

When I was a kid I had a poetry book that I loved. I lost it some year ago. Anyways, it was featured in the movie, Kindergarten Cop, with Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was shown in the scene when the teacher was reading to the kids. I can't seem to find a copy of this movie and because of that I can't find out what that book was called. Could anyone please tell me what the name of that book was called? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me. Thanks a lot guys.

Open Question: How should I tell her that I want her back?

Looks like she does want me to be her boyfriend again from previous questions and now that I look it its not that difficult to look. But the only problem is I don't know how I can do it. People say to just ask her but I don't know how and I don't think that is a good idea. When I try to just say it I receive nervous and change the subject then she gets the idea that I am depressed. I was never good with words, I talk with my hands I write good poetry, songs, short stories, movies and books. So should I write her something? And when you say I should ask her can you be more specific?

Resolved Question: What have I done wrong?

I have done every the right things, I provide emotional support, I help clean the home, cook most of the time, been a devoted husband and yet, I cannot receive my hands on any of My wife's trust fund. Is it because I have not found it inside myself to write romantic poetry? I guess I'm not as devoted as the Frank. What have I done wrong? I'd like a real Ferrari not just the cap. Tara, your new name looks like a challange, "some or else!" Frank I'm so so jealous...........

Open Question: Are there any writing jobs without a college degree?

I'm not an excellent writer, but I'm creative. I have written several tune lyrics that my friends and family say are really good. I've made up a rap for Taco Bell that's pretty good too. I have written poetry in the past, which people liked as well. I want to find some nice of job that allows me to write creatively without having to go to school for 2 or 4 years. I've had college experience, but I don't want to change my major. Maybe writing slogans for companies or help them write advertisements and brochures. Can someone please guide me in the right direction, so I can try to put my writing skills to good use? I'm not excellent at what I do, but I want a company that would work with me because I like to write.
