Hey all the readers out there! I've got a question for you. Do you have Genre Biases? As in... you only read books from a certain genre or you won't read books from other genres? Or are you an easy to please person who's going to...

Catana I read literary fiction sometimes, mostly rereads of classics, and historical fiction. There's a genre that's not really too well known -- darkfic, which is often a combination of other genres, but with a dark slant. When I'm in a mood when I can concentrate,...

Catana You're free to form your own opinion, of course, but you don't know anything about me. I have no use for an iPad, since my computer does everything I need. And I really doubt they will replace computers. It's far more likely that they will be one more option.

Has anybody been hypnotised and regressed to a past life? Share your experiences, of what you experienced and what you found out. Really interested.

Catana Many things are unexplainable at the present time. And there are many we now understand that were once mysterious. There are undoubtedly things we will never understand. Of the three things you mention, ghosts don't exist except in the imagination or...

A friend told me about the site Associated Content and I was wondering if you guys know about this. It's a collection of articles that acts as Yahoo's repository or library. My friend hasn't joined yet but is planning to. I...

Catana I don't post any fiction on writing sites. And most sites don't pay for fiction. I've posted some of my fiction on my blog, but I'm planning to publish it myself.

Catana Richnai, I didn't think you were being antagonistic. It's just that I'm a person who depends on science and facts, and I know that it's very easy for people to believe in things that have been created in their own minds and that don't really exist. There's no...

Google Knol is supposed to be a writing site for informative articles, and the writers can earn from Google Adsense. Even though it is a few years old, it hardly makes a wave in the writing community. Have you written anything...

Catana I hadn't even heard of Jevitt and Snipsly. I took a quick look at Jevitt and will keep an eye on it if it seems that it might be worthwhile for promoting my work elsewhere. The revenue part doesn't interest me because I won't use Adsense. At least it seems to...

Catana Yeah, I agree that it isn't fair. I think somebody at Google wasn't familiar with the sites that already exist, and what it takes to run them. The truth is, that unless you're willing to pay for editors, and have the money to pay them, the site is going to get...

Catana I don't know whether they're just too scattered to concentrate on every product and bring it to maturity or they see the potential or lack of it early enough not to waste time on something that isn't going to work. Leaving it up and available, like they did...

Catana I think that tapes that show how it's done are facts. What facts are your Buddhist beliefs based on?

Catana Maybe Google just lets its staff throw out ideas and gives them a try if they sound good. But there probably isn't enough support for all of them. If you look at the list of Google products, there are three new ones I've never heard of, and a bunch that I bet...

When I was a kid I loved fairy tales. I had a book with tales from the brothers Grimm and I had another one with tales from Christian Andersen. I lost myself in those story to the extend that I became part of them. And when the...

Catana Yes, the meanings are often hidden. In fact, Idris Shah, a Sufi teacher, put together a book of fairy tales and folk tales from around the world to show how certain themes are universal. He also showed how so much of Sufi teaching is meant for students to find...

Catana Yes, slavery has a long, nasty history, and I'm afraid it isn't going to go away. I've seen a statement that more people are enslaved today than at any time in our history. Your book sounds exciting. Hope you do finish it and get it published.

Catana I was going to suggest orange peel, but classicalgeek got there first. It's probably best to use ground peel because that will blend in better than pieces. I used to love Baskin and Robbins chocolate/mandarin orange sherbet. The combination was one of the best...

Catana So far, all my novels, and my stories, involve slavery in some way. They explore different ideas about slavery and how it can affect people. I've always been interested in how people either use power or let other people control them. Novels are a good way to...

Catana Once you've written a few articles that pass inspection, you can post immediately, without having to wait for them to be accepted, but that doesn't mean you should post junk. Quality does count. Associated Content has a better reputation than places like...

Catana No, you can't add anything to your articles, not even referral links. AC is very strict about attempts to add anything to articles. They have a step by step format that you have to follow, so this isn't anything like Bukisa, Triond, or Hubpages. You can add...

Catana Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. Putting the stories up for free comes long before publication. I wasn't suggesting that you shouldn't be charging for your book. I consider freebies part of the early self-promotion. I'll probably charge about the same for my...
