I was wondering how to determine whether something you find on the internet is publishable or not. For example, I am in a forum that someone has posted a writing prompt that I find appealing. Within the forum guidelines, it specifically states that it is "public domain" and that all...

I was actually able to find quite a few places that are already pre-planned for disaster based housing. One case is in the mojave desert... a man actually built an underground complex that can hold I think up to 1100 people in style... he is taking reservations at $5000 per adult/$2500 per child...

@ CupOfJoe: Thanks so much for the ideas, but the only problem with those is that they are way far off from where I need to be. My characters are based in the US so it'd have to be something accessible from there.

Like I said, it doesn't necessarily have to be an island. The more I think about it, the harder that would be to pull off. And I'd already factored in the thought that they could walk across the bottom of any water setting since they don't have to breathe. More than likely they're not going to...

I am in the process of writing a Zombie (ugh! not another zombie novel) apocalypse story and I need help with a location. I live in Florida so I don't really know of anything outside it's borders... what I am looking for is the possibility of a town/city/etc. that is located within a boat drive...

To be honest, I believe that if your original names are that deeply ingrained in your head, then you should stick with them. If you try to change them, at this point, you may have a hard time transitioning them in your own mind, which will confuse things even greater in the long run. I know that...

Thank you guys so much for your input. I'm trying to remain as realistic as possible but without the loss of ALL hope... lol

I was just wondering, realistically if there were to be a zombie apocalypse, how long would it really be before all communication went out? There are so many ways for us to get a hold of each other nowadays, if some crazy thing were to happen, I know the first thing I would do is try to get in...

I actually just did a google search for writing forums and this was the fourth or fifth one down

I've always wondered how to differentiate between paranormal and fantasy... that may sound like a silly question to some, but there are so many similar aspects in a lot of the more modern stories out there. A lot of mine include both. So how do I decide which label fits?

Depending on how long this is going on, I would assume that the person would also begin to gain a tremendous amount of weight. With that alone comes several more health problems... heartburn/acid reflux (vomiting nothing but pure acid), aepnea (throat closes and you can't breathe)...

I agree with Wordwalker. It's okay to say "do your research", but by basing it off of other stories you're taking the risk of using their fiction as fact. But then again, that's the greatest thing about fiction.... you never really know what's real and because of that, your world can exist any...

Not a bad idea, lol, just don't get so lost in the show that you lose the urge to write! :D

I don't know if anyone else may find this as useful as I do, but I stumbled upon it ages ago and have been using it quite often ever since. Whenever I'm at a dead end with a word, I go to http://www.wordhippo.com/ and play around. It is so simple and easy to use. A lot of times, it's just the...
