I wrote two 9/11 fiction short-stories a while back and I was lucky enough to receive an e-mail today saying my stories got published on a website. I know that's not THAT important, but I'm still really stoked about it! If you...

South_Americano Oh I didn't know that, thanks for the heads-up, but do you know any place where I could publish my stories besides Triond? Anyway, guess I'll limit my posting there to different articles rather than my short stories.

South_Americano I have one tip if you're good at writing: tasks. Occasionally, I will find a task asking for a short essay on a certain topic and it usually pays $3.50 for each task complete. It's hard work but it pays off. In around 3 days I have earned $7.18 through tasks...

South_Americano I haven't earned anything yet since I am using this service called "Triond" and my two stories only have 2 views each for the time being.

South_Americano I have ghost-written these stories as well, but it still feels good to know that your work is out there somewhere. I hope you have some luck in publishing your series!

Okay, I'm writing a zombie novel (which I'm not going to post my whole idea here or anything) and I've hit a creative blockage. I need a name for a government funded program that pays people to hunt and kill zombies. Anyone...

South_Americano Thanks, I get these bouts of creativity sometimes. I also really enjoy writing, so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Have fun! :)

South_Americano I got a few ideas for you (although, if you'd indulge me, I refrain from using the term Zombie because I find it does not have such a nice ring to it; also,some of the names include words which not only serve to represent zombies but other "undead", so to...

Hi! I am trying to put one of my favorite movies in my Iphone! But I can't seem to import it through Itunes! Any ideas? Do I need to Convert it? Or??????? Please help!

South_Americano You have to convert whatever video file into .mp4, which is the format supported by the Apple iPod. You can use a software called "Handbrake" to convert your files to .mp4. You can find more information on how to make it work at Handbrake's official website.

South_Americano Wow, first I would buy a whole new wardrobe. After I'm looking good, I would keep it somewhere safe so when the economy recovers I would invest in the stock market. That's pretty much what I would do.

South_Americano I believe you acted very correctly. That is a very low thing to do. If your family had a problem with your brother's fiancée, the very least they could do was talk to him and try to tell him why exactly they do not like her. This is as much your family's fault...

I have just accepted a task but there is no box to write the stuff in. I think the task description is too long and so there is no space to post it in. Is there anything I can do?

I had a bad experience about 3 years ago with a dentist. He told me I had five cavities, which was bad. When he was working on them he said "Oh this looked like a cavity on the x-ray, but its just a filling, he said the same thing...

South_Americano What a coincidence! I just went to the dentist today and by GOD it was painful. He told me that my bottom teeth were bigger than my upper ones and so he got this small electrical metal file and... without any anesthesia he just started filing my teeth. I had...

South_Americano Being a parent nowadays is EXTREMELY difficult. If you spank your kid too much then he/she will grow to become a traumatized adult. However, If you do nothing to punish a child who has done something wrong they will become very... umm. "bratty", so to speak....

South_Americano One thing that irritates me very much is when people cannot tell the difference between "they're", "there" and "their". I can't really explain why but it just irritates me so much. I also don't like it when people are wrong but they just can't admit it and...

South_Americano I have seen a bear about 30 ft away from me in Bern ( the capital of Switzerland)at the cages. That was pretty cool. I have never seen a bear in the wild before though it must have been scary!

South_Americano Wow, this amount is simply shocking! I think the record companies are now trying to scare people into buying their music instead of downloading it online. I think that is too extreme for the results they are trying to achieve because regardless of the penalty,...
