| Do you know where I can find a copy of the "How to Write" series? Haven't heard of that series. There are a lot of "How to Write" books out there though. You have to filter for what you're trying to improve. This is not a sci-fi story, but a romantic drama. True. However, Card offers some good advi... |

| you'll never be a better writer if you don't take criticism. If you're getting critiqued by another writer, they'll probably find something wrong with your story. My most praiseworthy reviews have come from non-writers. They're encouraging, but not very helpful. By the way, there are quite a few he... |

| Y'know, for once, I would like to read some piece of fiction by someone on the spectrum which DOESN'T involve any form of Autism in the characters. I know what it's like to have AS, I don't want to read about it. Get out of your frickin' comfort zone and try something challenging and interesting, r... |

| A friend of mine said the dialogue in his mind is comprised of one positive voice and one negative voice, which attempts to refute the former's statements, and I definitely follow the same formula. Anyone else do this? I prefer dialoguing, but I only dialogue in writing. If I ever verbalized my dia... |

| For the past three or four months, I've been playing World of Warcraft. I love the game. However, as I increase the level of my characters, the quests take more and more time. I'm finding that I have to group with other characters to complete my quests. In truth, I love group quests. To me, they're ... |

| I've had similar thoughts with my friends. However, I never actually took the steps to end the relationships because it required too much emotional energy. Instead, I just stopped calling, visiting, IMing or emailing, assuming they would never initiate communication with me again. To my surprise, af... |

| My wife and I have been married for 20 years. For our first 10 years, I felt very close to her. During that time, I was very obsessed about our common belief system (Fundamentalist Christianity). However, since then, I have lost my faith, and I no longer consider myself a Christian. Here's more back... |
