Great quotes!

I've been shot at. Blank Pages are scarier.

At home I have one book of the author Leonard Mlodinow and I have already read one of his books, he is awesome author, if you ask me go and read the book Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior by Leonard Mlodinow, the audiobook I think that was read by him, but I am not sure I finish it in January!

Absolutely. An abundance of verses command killing those whose beliefs are different, who do not follow the laws of Islam. Not only killing, but the rather gruesome suggestions as to how to kill. It also advocates lying in order to deceive those they call "non-believers" in order to dominate them, take from them, and yes, kill them. Not all of the book is about this, but the parts of it that are, well, those parts are very clear.

Not all who follow Islam engage in this activity, and are kind, decent, loving individuals whose lives are great examples of how to live in peace with each other and those around them.

Omg, omg if it's about that I don't have anymore curiosity in their religion, I had added their book in my reading list... but I will remove it, with this book my way of seeing the world will be changed... so far it reminds me for the film "Knock, Knock".

For real.

I'll be sure to read it as soon as I have some time this weekend - thanks for asking! ')

I really didn't find anything that needed fixing - both books are extraordinary. Your insights and ability to express them are excellent. I hope some of our other members in your age group read these and see what a book by a real writer looks like. ')

This is just...the most amazing comment I've gotten in a long time. So thank you so much. I was beginning to forget why I started writing in the first place, and to have people like you leave these comments always reminds me that it's because I have a story to tell and I want to tell it.

Originally New York, but we moved to Florida in 1986. You?

florida is nice . but NEW YORK, did you ever think its a waste to move? or.

As much as I loved Manhattan, it's too expensive to live there as a single person, never mind be able to afford raising a family. Also, I love the heat, and New York in winter is...brrrr! I mean, I would start to feel icy cold in October, and the cold wouldn't leave my bones until June.

So yeah, I miss all the awesome things you can do in New York, not to mention it's where I was born and grew up so I still love it, but I also believe I made the right choice about moving to Florida. Besides, my family still lives up there, so I get to visit a lot. ')

thats cool ,i always love a change of pace myself

For sure, lol. And it gives more experiences to use in our stories!

That's okay - I totally get the long day thing, lol. And sorry if my reply was a bit harsh. My reaction was kinda for the same reason. ')

By the way, I love Star Wars fanfic! The characters you've written seem cool, and right in line with George Lucas' characters. I'll be adding your book to my Favorites so I can keep up with its progress, along with the other one.

Hope your day has gotten better!

I wrote my books 1 million years A.B.Y. (After the Battle of Yavin) so it wouldn't run into the Star Wars timeline so I put mine ahead that way my books wouldn't run into anything they were working on.

Smart! That gives you a whole lot of leeway. I'm really looking forward to reading them. Have you read all the new-generation Jedi novels about the twins and all that?

I got a few books into the New Jedi Order but it got boring so I started working on my own thing. I wanted more action and less drama so I wrote a sample chapter on MySpace in '04 and got hundreds of comments telling me they wanted more. My first book, Infinite Darkness needs to be re-done but got around 30,000 views on MySpace in '05, it's been here for about 4 years and I'm up to 19,000. I just released the first book of the Into the Black Unknown series and I'll release a new book every other month. Who cares if it's perfect or not, I just love to write Star Wars.

Primrose's words are inspiration enough. I think it's easy to forget how every interaction we have with others has an effect. The way we interact will help determine whether that effect is positive or negative. But we can't forget the flip side to that - refusing to interact with others, especially when they express a deep need, is in itself an interaction by omission.

No matter what we say to someone, however, the way in which they take our words is the second half of a vital equation. In this case, you have an amazing young lady who believes in thinking for herself. Someone else might have ignored what I wrote to her, or just shrugged it off as suggestions by some old dinosaur who is too old to understand or something like that. People who refuse to listen to those who have lived longer are often people who only want pity, because they're too lazy to accept that pity of any kind is a dead end for everyone involved.

So I guess what I'm saying is that someone like this, whose heart is firmly set on making the very best of what life can offer, is the inspiration that anyone reading this thread will see. Because it was somewhat personal, I don't think it needs to be reposted elsewhere, but I appreciate that you understand how positive this young lady is, and what an inspiration she is to all who have come to know her on this site. I expect she'll have a great and positive effect on people even she may never meet, simply because of how she is living her life. It's the ripples in a pond effect, and it's a beautiful thing when those ripples are made of light. ')

Hi Ms. Judy

Hey, Primrose! How are you? I hope all is well.
