What words can you use in writing dialogue instead of using the pronoun He?
"He" is perfectly fine. If you have a male character, you should refer to him by his name, by his title, or just by "he" - writers who constantly come up with flowery descriptions end up distracting the readers instead of letting them get into the story.
How do you write a descriptive paragraph about a night in the woods?
Writing any descriptive paragraph is the same - a night in the woods or a trip to the fair - you have to relate what your input from each of yours senses is (sight, hearing, taste sound and smell) against a time line. Then write them down so that another person can experience them with you.
Assuming you have been in the woods at night think on the experience. What happened? Put all of this down as quickly as you can - no need for sentences - then go back pick out the key thoughts and put them in order and tighten up the grammar. Lots of gut sensations ("The foggy wind both froze my body and dampened my spirits") - not just "there was a cold wind"
What are three ways you can tell that a new character is going to speak in a story?
1. Quotation Marks.
2. The words He/She said in the beginning of a sentence typically indicate a
character will be speaking.
3. The words John/Jane told me at the beginning of a sentence also indicate that a
character is speaking.
4. Sometimes a sentence will start with John/Jane asked and then that indicates that
the character is about to speak.
well i put this on one of my papers and i got 100% so I'd say that these are right.........
1.) if there are quotation marks, i know it sounds obvious but it is one of the ways
2.) tag words such as said, replied, answered, etc......... sound right?
3.) the name of a new character will be written, the name will be different than the first characters ex. bobby asked, "When is your birthday?"
then Peppe replied, "October 5th!"
4.) now look up and see how i started a new paragraph when a new character spoke, there's your fourth way!
hope this was helpful
There are quotation marks "like these"
you can tell that a new character is going to speak in a story when its a new paragraph
Quotation marks, indentation to mark a new paragraph and tag lines such as using the words said or replied!
Is language static or black-and-white especially when you write it down?
Some people think so, but I don't agree. I think it depends on your choice of words. Language can be very open to interpretation... very uncertain. I think you have to word things very carefully to make them static, if that is what you want. I think words can be flowing and changeable as well, if that is what you are going for. It is true that when you write something down many times you are held to it... you can't take it back. But that doesn't mean that what you said is going to mean the same thing to every person. We are very inexact sometimes with our language, and different people will see different things in what we say... take offense when we don't mean to offend, or relate their personal experiences to something we wrote based on our own experience... which can change the ideas around completely.
What title can you give to your vampire love story?

Use short sentences for tension. Build the tension up until it's at the climax so the reader is dying to know what's going to happen next. And don't forget the atmosphere ... setting and mood and tone.
Why did they feel the need to write the gemara?
For the same reason that they wrote the mishna. People were forgetting the oral tradition so it had to be written down, now with more detail than the mishna.
Also some Jews were living in Babylonia and some in Israel, the Jews in Babylonia would be teaching differently than the Jews in Israel. Therefore, they wrote the Gemara so that all Jews would have the same "guidelines"
What are some necessary skills and training for becoming a writer?
The most basic skills one needs to become a writer is a practical knowledge of one's language and the ability to express one's self effectively to one's target audience. Some have a natural talent for effective communication, while others have to study language and communication in order to convey their ideas effectively.
However, in order to become a professional writer or a successful writer within a particular genre or discipline, advanced education and regular practice is needed.
You do not have to be a college graduate to be a successful writer, but you do have to be effective, and that takes education. You must educate yourself on the technical and stylistic qualities of any genre as well as the expectations and intellect of your target audience. This can be achieved through either formal or independent study; however, the necessity of this knowledge is absolute.
You must also practice writing often. Most writers encourage those who wish to be writers to write every single day. Just because you envision a literary masterpiece in you mind, that does not mean that you possess the fortitude to produce it at a whim. Even the best of writers lack such superior talent. What makes great writers great is their education (whether formal or informal), insight, and most of all, their dedication to the craft. Simply put, real writers write.
Furthermore, good writers are avid readers. Reading often helps you to understand grammar, style, dialect, and other aspects of literature more intuitively. You also become more aware of which writing techniques are effective and which are not by simply reading the writing of others.
Good writers, as any other artists or professionals, immerse themselves in their craft, both in study and practice.
Can you write about Obama in a story you're going to publish?
Yes you can, but you have to get permission from Obama, and you have to keep things about Obama neutral.
For example, if you like him, you can't gloat about him, and if you hate him you cannot create insults about him.

The literal translation is "in the middle" or "into the midst".
In literature, it means to start a narration in the middle of a story rather than at the beginning. This technique is used in both the Odyssey and the Iliad, in order to access the action of the story without a lengthy, detailed introduction to the characters and settings.

I believe it was George Bernard Shaw who said write everyday even if you throw it away, but write every day. Just get started and write it as if you were verbally telling your story to someone else. Good luck! ...because you can always edit the writing later. *The great American novelist Thomas Wolfe actually carried a large chest full of his writings to an editor (Maxwell Perkins), who then culled two novels out of the whole shebang: "Look Homeward, Angel" & "Of Time and The River". *Later editing resulted in two more works: "You Can't Go Home Again" & "The Web and The Rock". *Just write and let others edit your writing. If you have a great idea for a book and are unsure about the process or how to write it effectively, you can join a writer's group, look for a writing partner/co-author or hire a ghostwriter. There are a ton of groups that you can join both on and offline. You will have to do a bit of research to find the one that best fits your needs and genre. What's nice about these groups is that they are made up of other writers who will critique your work, give you feedback or just listen to your concerns for free. A writing partner or co-author on the other hand, will want a cut of the royalties in exchange for their services, as well as their name on the book. Relationships such as these often lead to fruitful collaborations. Just be careful and make sure that you can really work with the individual on a long-term basis. Now with a ghostwriter, you will be expected to pay a hefty fee for someone to write the book on your behalf. You will still appear as the author of the book. But keep in mind that some ghostwriters will ask for a byline in exchange for a discount, so make sure to read the fine print on any contract before signing your name away.

What is a good idea for a Middle Earth story?
Any idea that is interesting enough to you will be a good idea. You cannot write a story or novel based on ideas that someone else invents - you won't be interested enough in the subject to be able to research and write anything that will actually sell. Plus, anonymous people on the internet have no idea how old you are, what your interests are, or how well you can write!
In order to write, you need a personal connection to the subject. Write about whatever you enjoy, or whatever you find interesting, and you will end up with your novel or story.
WikiAnswers is happy to help you learn how to write better. We will not do your writing for you by giving you ideas and paragraphs to copy.
Here are some more suggestions from WikiAnswers contributors:
Remember that Middle Earth is copyright by Tolkein -- any stories you write will be fanfiction, and you won't be able to sell it.
What are some suggestions for the title of a leader of a dystopian country?
If you're going to be a writer, you need to come up with your own character ideas! Do a little research into dictators and tyrants and see what some of them were called by their people. Father, Enlightened One, El Supremo - pick something that matches what YOU want the leader to be.
Asking people is a polite thing to do; however if for whatever reason you can't, you can do as many writers do and say at the start, 'All characters and/or places used in this work are totally fictional. Any resemblance to real people and/or places is entirely unintentional.'
What effect does short paragraphs give?
Short paragraphs are easier to read, and they also make the reading seem to go by faster so that your reader feels as though they're not having to "wade through" a lot of boring text. When you want to give a sense of action, tension, or suspense, use short sentences and short paragraphs!
Which element would you include in a story whose purpose is to frighten the reader?

How do you describe a leaf using five senses?
Plant life depends on the leafs. Photosynthesis takes place only with this. Moisture, food, water, sun, oxygen, absorption is all done threw the leafs. transpiration as well, It Transpiration is the evaporation of water into the atmosphere from the leaves and stems of plants. Plants absorb soilwater through their roots and this water can originate from deep in the soil. (For example, corn plants have roots that are 2.5 meters deep, while some desert plants have roots that extend 20 meters into the ground). Plants pump the water up from the soil to deliver nutrients to their leaves. This pumping is driven by the evaporation of water through small pores called "stomates", which are found on the undersides of leaves. Transpiration accounts for approximately 10% of all evaporating water.
Plants are the same as humans with all the same needs! Is there a GOD Yes. Creation of these extreams don't just happen by accident! PS. Plants can hear sound as well!
