How Does Blood Smell?

LilyoftheThorns @LilyoftheThorns (12918) • United States 15 Jun 07

I can not think of a way to describe how blood smells. All I can come up with is 'musty' but I'm not sure if I like that, or even if it really works. Please Help! How would you describe the smell of blood?

Do you have goals?

Helium @Helium (97) • United States 26 May 07

I set goals for myself when I write. It's usually a certain number of pages or words. I find it easier to write when I have a set goal. Do you set goals for yourself when you write?

How many books do you think you can read in a year?

Helium @Helium (97) • United States 25 May 07

I can read at least 75 books. I don't have much time on my hands anymore to read, and I'm a fairly slow reader. It's still a pretty good number, though. How many books do you think you can read in a year.

Transformed @Transformed (1259) • United States 26 May 07

Okay, so I'm working on another novel, and I'm ready to start writing, but I don't know how many pages a day I should write? I've heard some writers say they write the entire book within a few days, some take a few months to write...

Helium I'm a nanny. It's a fun job if you don't mind watching kids and cleaning the house occasionally. I find some time to write while I'm working. The pay depends on the people. I can manage on my own, I'm sure but I'm living off my mother until I get out of...

Can't Sit Still

Keleidescope @Keleidescope (204) • United States 26 May 07

I have a really bad habit of moving around in my seat while sitting in class. It's always during the times where we're supposed to be still, like watching a movie. I feel like a first grader or something. I'm sure it bothers the...

Talking Makes People Mad

Keleidescope @Keleidescope (204) • United States 26 May 07

When Writing...

Helium @Helium (97) • United States 26 May 07

Sometimes I find it easier to write while I'm listening to music. It helps set a mood for my novel or just helps my muse in general. There are occasions when I can't listen to music at all becuase it just distracts me. But that's...
