Popular Answered Questions

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?

Prove something to yourself by producing the best story that you possibly can, for your own satisfaction. If you believe in it, others will. Good luck!(less)

Riley is an inspector in the newly formed Detective Department at Scotland Yard. He's also titled - Lord Riley - a marquess's younger son, so he's torn in many respects. This one is about a murder in a brothel! Everyone thinks Riley won't make much effort to find the killer of a prostitute, which just goes to show how little they know him!

Truth and Fiction



They say that truth is stranger than fiction, and I can't help but agree with the ubiquitous them. Take the Victorians. A finer example of sanctimonious moral standards it's hard to imagine at any time in British history. But beneath all the covered furniture legs and concealing clothing, were they really any different to the generations that went before, or have followed on since?
