I’m writing a script for a film i want to make, and it’s about music, so of course there is much music being played by the characters, as well as background music to provide the mood and atmosphere necessary.

Creative writing is all about playing around with words on any given subject. It allows you to let your imagination run wild. Those of you thinking of writing your first novel tend to have that one vital ingredient required, an active imagination. It is through the power of that imagination that your first novel will be created.

More often than not when thinking of creative writing, we tend to believe it’s only for certain people when really anyone can do it. It’s a great release for your passions and thoughts, giving you an ideal opportunity to put down all that musing. Creative writing is about committing to paper whatever you want, in the way you want to do it. The challenge of actually doing this, however, can be overwhelming to most people yet, if that’s all there is to it, then why don’t more people do it? The challenge of writing your first novel doesn’t have to be as daunting as it may seem.

I will be interviewing subjects for the book. The subjects need to understand that I am writing the book to make money and they are volunteering their info knowing that the revenue from the book will not be distributed among those being interviewed. Also, I need to let them know that I honor complete confidentiality. Is there a template or do I need to seek a contract lawyer?

I need help finding a good template for writing a professional resume. I am trying to get a job at Bank Of America as a personal banker. I know one of the managers (not the hiring manager) and he’s going to put in a good word for me. He says to write a nice resume and list all my jobs from the past five years including the exact dates i started work and exact dates i stopped working.
If anyone has any advise and templates i could use please send them my way. email = esnigg@yahoo.com

Thanks very much for any help.

I am sending out my first letter to my husband in army basic training. I just received a letter from him and the commander about his address. It just seems to be a little long, and I want to make sure that he gets my letter. When I write to address, do I write his name on it as well? Or do I just write the company, platoon, etc? I wrote on envelopes in both formats, but I dont know which one to send!
I would appreciate it if people who know the answer to his question to be VERY specific. This is the format I THINK is correct:
PVT (Last), (First)
(Company), (BN), (IN)
(#)Platoon, RN(#)
(Street Address)
(City), (State), (Zip Code)

Is this right?! I know I’m being paranoid, but I want to make sure he gets my letters on time!

So, since i’m not sure about 2 main things in the given topic, I can’t pick 6 quotations from the Declaration of Independence and clueless what to write about them. Can someone help me to brighten up my mind?
