    I don't know how to get published or I totally would write awful books about people fucking non stop.

    Step one: Seek out an agent.
    Step two: Talk with an agent that thinks they can help you get published.
    Step three: Keep turning out books while the agent shops you around.
    Step four: If all goes well, collect your pay.

    And I was wrong about Harlequin. They average a $4800 advance with 6% royalties now apparently.

    Don't you have to pay agents?

    Agents take a cut of what you make, but you don't pay them up front.

    @DUE: I have no idea what you are talking about. Derrida, by all accounts, was a pretty fantastic person.

    Indeed, he was a DICK to argue against, as John Searle found out, because he would pour over every little word and turn them all against you and he would rather deliciously oscillate between attacking you with classical metaphysics and then taking your metaphysical arguments and deconstructing them, but that's just intellectual rigor, in my opinion.

    But, yeah, you're wrong about him being a Douche. Derrida was a pretty remarkable person.

    So... basically you're actually Derrida?

    I'm not sure if that would be a compliment or an insult, though.

    I'm actually reading Camus' Myth of Sisyphus right now and really enjoying it.

    I might be finding it more interesting as someone who has been suicidal in the past, though, since that's the subject of the book.

    how is edward's relationship with bella abusive, as i understand it the relationship is more or less guided by her choices including the one to keep her child (i've never read the books, i've only read the wiki plot synopsis)

    Edward comes into her room at night without her knowledge to watch her sleep (before and after they are in a relationship), if she walks away from him before he wants her to he grabs her hard by the arm (hard enough to bruise), he cuts her brakes to try to stop her from talking to Jacob, he isolates her from her family and friends, and at the end of the book she is a stay at home mom who has, iirc, not finished high school.

    yowza
    that does change things
    i figured giving her the veto power to keep the baby against edwards will was one that signified empowerment in the relationship but his history with her definitely belies that

    Yes it has, and I have brought it up a lot lately, because like I said feminism is not something I've devoted a lot of my attention to in the past and now I feel as though I have a completely new perspective on life and I'm finding things I didn't notice before.

    As someone who is working on being a writer right now myself, I can't stress the above enough. If you ever approach/are approached by an agent, and they ask you for money up front, it's a scam plain and simple. Agents work for you, and thrive off of your success. They shouldn't see a dime until you do.

    I'll definitely say that "The Wall" is far better than anything Camus could have ever hoped to have written.

    Would it be possible to create some sort of Pokemon trainer club

    so that the people who know about it would wear a badge if they had their ds on them

    and someone else who recognizes the badge would know they could challenge them to a battle like randomly if they happened to meet somewhere

    like say if i was riding the skytrain, and someone with the badge walked on

    pokewalker.jpg[img][/img]

    but that doesn't work for people who don't own heartgold/soulsilver, and doesn't guarantee they will have their ds or be up for battling.

    well point the first, if you like pokeymans at all then why don't you have heartgold or soulsilver?

    and point the second, you can like tap pokeballs and i think it does something. it might not be a battle but maybe it trades pokeymans or levels the mans up or something

    finally, point the third, it should be worth a shot anyways i mean if a dude is wearing a pokewalker, there would seem to be a pretty decent chance that he is up for a pokebattle. i mean what more do you want?
