I'm really curious as to how other people write. This semester I'm taking a fiction writing course at my university. Lately, we've been speaking about first lines and when to start the story. The advice my professor has given us is to start where there is material. For example, you have a forty year old man then you make him have a flashback to prom. If you were writing the story, would you make...

Sorry for the lengthy title; I couldn't think of anything else.I have a story that I want to write---nothing new right? I have the characters and plot; however, I lack a very essential thing. I lack a name for my female protagonist. I'm looking for something kind of unusual. I have been searching baby name sites and scouring other places over the Internet. I just can't find that ONE name. If you...

Alright, so I just got Delirium by Lauren Oliver like an hour or so ago. From what I've read so far, I'm really hesitant, about whether or not I should keep it or take it back. I see a lot of reviews about it, and a lot of people really seem to like it. Would you suggest this book to someone? Is it like the Hunger Games, so gory you have nightmares?I'm kind of back and forth, trying to decide if I...

So I'm floating around Mibba, trying to figure out how to work the new mibba. (If you've seen any of my previous posts, you will quickly learn how hopeless I am with technology. Which is very...)Anyway, I was trying to make a new story layout. How do you change the background's color. I tried writing what I wanted and doing a code.Help would be appreciated very much.-Sofie

I was looking at the most popular names of 2011 not to long ago. There weren't many original names on there. A lot of them were really common, but at the same time pretty classy. (I apologize if your name was on there, I bet you're an amazing person!)But I started wondering, what are other people's favorite or least favorite names?These are just a few of my favorites and least favorites.I love...

Okay, so UnboundDreams and I are having a debate, and I need back up!Who do you think is better?Personally, I say Snoopy is better, while UnboundDreams says Scooby-Doo is better! He says who wouldn't want a dog that dresses up, eats a lot, and does karate. While I mean who wouldn't want a dog that has its own bird, writes on a typewriter, eats, plays baseball on a team, and dresses up for...

Okay, so on facebook, one of my friend's friends posted a link to a youtube video. I thought she was in it so I began to watch it, and I've got to say that it is actually very funny. The boy who does it has a unique way of going about it, and I will admit I find him a bit strange. He sits there singing two songs, but for some strange reason he doesn't have his shirt on. The thing is, it's funny....

My journals always are questions.For months, I've been googling trying to find a new layout for my page. Finally, I was looking at something and came up with an idea for myself. On here I've looked and found basically nothing on how to make a step by step layout or a tutorial. Is there any place like this? Or maybe even a way to learn about CSS or HTML codes? I am almost one hundred percent...

It seems as if the only time I write these things is when I have a question...man technology! Anyway, in a story, whenever a section of a font is a different color because it's a link, and it's in words instead of gibberish...how do you do that?E.x. Sara Magic sat down quietly at the table, next to her best friend Eliza.Say that everything but table is purple but table is blue because it's a link...

How do you find a specific genere of story that you want to read? And how do you rate the story? How do you favor writers instead of just stories?I am horrible with technology, and basically have no idea how to really work the sight. I am basically still exploring and am confused. If you could offer any advice or any help, I would be really greatful, to hear what you have to say. Thank you very...
