Hi, I want to write a book for teens. I read this book, All-America Girl by Meg Cabot and I want it to be somehing like that, a romantic book, but with a small twist. Not a sappy one, a comic funny one when the girl ends up with the person least expected. Can i have suggestions on what to write about? NO deep books. Funny, romantic one would be best. Thanks! Also, a good beginning would be appreciated.
I am not copying Meg’s book. I want to do something like that! I am using it as inspiration, not as a copy. I like the idea of it and I wish to do something like that, not exactly do it!

I have tons of movie ideas, and I mean tons, okay not tons, but at least a dozen some are bad, and some are good, and some are really good. I want to turn all of them into movies some day, if I make it big in Hollywood. But about half of them I’d really like to turn into a book first. I’ve already written four books with an average of 150 pages, (by the way, I’m 15 years old), I have about half a dozen half way finished, and another half dozen, maybe more, summarized for future work. I just can’t stop thinking of them.
Anyway, back on topic, I need to know how to get a publisher, (If at all possible an inexpensive one) and how to pitch me idea to him, or whatever you do. I just need to know the steps to make my stories into books.
And if at all possible, I would like to make contact with producers in Hollywood, but I don’t think Yahoo Answers stretches that far.
Thanks!!!

I have been doing traditional scrapbooking for 9 years. I now want to start digital scrapbooking. The trouble is I have no clue on how to procede. I am also fairly cyber challenged. I do not just need a book for dummies but one for complete idiots. I have a photoshop CS2 program that I am just learning. I also have Corel Paint Shop Pro XI. Can anyone recomend a few books that will take me through each and every little step?

I am in the process of directing a documentary and am having a hard time figuring out how to distribute my film to top documentary broadcasters such as, Discovery, National Geographic, History, and Travel channel, along with international markets as well. I was also wondering how it would work, and how do they decide on what films to choose and how much to pay. Thanks

Are you only able to work on your book dream on the weekend or in small blocks of time? No worries; you are a weekend warrior in book writing. Welcome to the Weekend Warrior Book Writing Club! No, you don’t have to pay dues to join. You need only be a person struggling to fit book writing into a small block of time.

First think about all the benefits you are missing by not fulfilling your book dream. Let’s put a time table to that thought. What would happen if you didn’t get your short book written in the next 90 days? You’d miss having a book to make your business stand out in the crowd. Your business would definitely take longer to build to a whopper success.

You wouldn’t have the competitive edge you’d have as an expert with a book. You’d miss out on the adventures and opportunities waiting for you on the other side of getting your book done. And worst of all, you’d miss the extra profits you could make by charging up to 400% more on your fees as author.

Now that you are properly motivated to cash in on all that you are missing by not getting your book done. Here are 5 simple strategies to get your book written using your weekends or any small blocks of time.

1. Write your book making it easy on yourself. Remove the pressure to complete a big book. Instead choose to write a short book. Divide your monster book into 2 books. Use shorter sentences and paragraphs. Your copy is more compelling when you are succinct and to the point. Write shorter chapters; shorten your stories and examples. Make your book an easy read. If you have a fairly complex topic, spread out your stats and tables. Section your details and develop your book into several parts.

2. Write your book as a top priority. Commit to a writing schedule. Think about your priorities right now. Can you arrange to write at least 7-10 hours a week? If you have to let something go that is not high on your priority list, do it. Now is your time to succeed in writing your book. Later is not better. Set yourself up for success. Write a book this year by making your book goal a top priority.

3. Write your book with an intention statement. Do you have a plan in place? Write on purpose. Don’t set yourself up to fail by not planning. Even if it’s a simple intention goal like “I complete my book (title of book) this year by (date and year.) I educate myself and do what it takes to complete it.” Set one and write it down so you can hit the mark.

4. Write your book the easy way to finish fast. Five of the top ways to speed write your book includes: 1.Act Now. Action will paralyze fear each and every time. 2. Avoid marathon writing. Know you don’t have to become a hermit to write and complete a successful book. 3. Commit to the tracking approach. Doing a set amount even if it’s only 30 minutes to an hour- each day builds a cumulative effect. 4. Know you don’t have to write chapters in order. You can jump around and fill in the blanks to gain momentum. 5. Maintain your momentum. Don’t give in to writers block. Move on to work on the chapter you feel passion bubbling for at that moment.

5. Write your book using laser focus. Apply laser focus to complete your book writing project faster. For example, if you look at a 40 watt bulb, the light is soft. It’s not even strong enough to light an average room sufficiently. Yet you can take the same 40 watts; put it in a laser gun and get a totally different output.

In the laser gun, the same 40 watts become a focused beam of light that can cut through different objects like a sharp knife through paper. Same amount of energy but different focus. To use laser focus in your book project, prioritize, do only one project at a time and complete one project before you start another.

If you don’t use these techniques to finish fast using the time you have, you may be this time next year working on the same book project. Remember to make it easier on yourself, make your book dream a top priority in your life, write an intention goal, learn to write the easy way and use laser focus. Using the above simple tips you can easily write and complete your book. Even if it’s only on the weekend, finish fast; finish strong and sell sooner.

Almost all of our drinking glasses have formed this almost permanent film from our dishwasher. We have tried a lot of different things with no luck. Are there any tips on how to get this off? Sometimes it is like a whitish-clear film and other times it looks like a rainbowy oil-slick. Any tips would be great!!! Thanks.

Have tried….vinegar, CLR, scrubbing by hand

I need to know the dimensions of a normal, 35mm film canister – the height. To be even more precise, the maximum height a paper can be and still fit inside.
As you perhaps can guess, this is for Geocaching – I need to have logs to refill caches I find and I don’t have any film canisters at home.

P.S.
The size is NOT 35mm – that is the height of the film itself.

Thanks!
