If you are going to use a publisher to publish they will want you to go through an agent. With this being said, every agent has their own personal preference to how they want the piece formatted. Some one Times 12 point single spaced while a different one will want Helvetica 12 point double...

I believe crush syndrome is where the leg or appendage that was crushed starts to swell up due to the loss of and no where for the blood to go. My brother just went through it with his foot and it was nasty. Really big bruise, swollen foot (like four or five times bigger). I believe lost had an...

Normally I'll have a vague idea of what I'm going to write about. I'll jot some ideas down for a couple of days. Commit them to memory and then I'll start writing. I know where I want my story to go it is just getting there that is blurry maze. Once I start writing that is when the haze starts...

If I decide to use a pen name I would use Shric Norhe, which has all of the letters of my name just rearranged. Don't really know if I'm going to use one or not.

I thought that the series did the book justice. I never did finish the season but from what I saw it was a decent replica of the book.

I agree with Sash. The image in the middle is confusing, I'm going to say it is a space ship entering hyperspace? The typeface is fine, but I think that the title could use something to make it stand out a little more. Maybe a different shade of red, something brighter perhaps. The background...

I agree that TV shows such as CSI, The Big Bang Theory, Two Broke Girls etc. have writers. However, it is the things like Teen Mom, Baseball wives and most reality shows don't have a writer. I think that reality shows are cheaper ways to increase revenue for the stations. It seems like the...

At sometime in the past imagination in people started to decrease. Now it is all but gone in most of the people I know. I think that if we were able to bring back imagination and get rid of all of the TV shows and the gaming devices that we now have we would be able to have more readers in the...

I always have a note book by my bed. If an idea pops into my mind I will write it down in my notebook or notebooks (I have so many laying around the house with oddball information in it that some will say I'm crazy). I am going to get into the habit of putting my ideas on sticky notes and...

To help you with the research portion of this, talk to soldiers. Get their aspect of what they did during the war. When talking to soldiers though try not to be pushy. Some don't like to talk about their experiences at all while others will only talk about certain ones. If you want feel free to...

Normally I just write down some small ideas and start to write. I typically know where I want the book that I'm writing to go I just don't know how I'm going to get there. After I start writing everything just seems to flow together. Howerver, normally when I get 3/4 of the way done I hit...

I would have to say that your MC finds a simple spell within the book that will hide what he is doing for a short time. Maybe something like a concealing(SP, my work PC doesn't support spell check while online.) spell. You could possibly have the MC learn different things through the book that...

Also, take a look around at us humans. We may all look kinda alike, but there are small differences between all of us. Some of us have sharp pointed facial features while others may have rounded facial features. Some have dark skin, others light skin, and others yet are inbetween. There are...

Thanks for all of the input. I definitely have some thoughts for consideration now.

Well, I have seen battle first hand so that'll help when I write a battle scene. Also some of the other things that I have seen with helicopter movements. I believe that I will be able to take the things that I have seen and put them in a SF/F story. Sorry if this sounds horribly thought out I...
