Various Topics That I/We May Sometimes Need Help With

Volkswagen Beetle.
Practical, economic, easy to drive & park.
Adequate chrome work and a fitted radio.

Thank you very much. I have finished that story, but appreciate you input.

I've also edited the first post so now we're looking DG's links.

I asked this in the writing goals thread, but it's better suited for here.

I'm writing about a character reflecting back to her chldhood and when she was molested and raped by her father. It's an intregal part of her what makes up her characteristics and I know it'll get squashed the moment I mention anything about it happening when she was 10 to 13 years old.

I'm trying to use other dates and times to pinpoint the age and let the reader do the math on it. Any thoughts on what might work?

Perhaps if you talk about learning to do things that most kids do already at a certain age.

Around that age kids are getting their first taste of sleepover with friends, or going to Summer Camps. Perhaps an incident can take place "after my first sleepover ever..." or "after coming home from summer camp, and learning how to build a fire..."

Granted these are just generic ideas, since I don't know your story. But if you gear things toward what she would know or be taught at those ages, you may be able to allow the reader the myth of age, rather than blatantly pointing it out.

Here's a quick overview of it. Marissa was molested by her father when she was 10 and he continued doing it until she was 13 and then he raped her, after she had her first period. She came from Colombia when she was seven and everything was okay, until they moved to Montreal. She had no one talking to her about the facts of life and her mother sided with her father, not wanting to have it made public, or lose the comfortable life she was living.

The second I mention her age, it's game over, but it's an intregal part that needs to be written in somehow.

Thanks Sweetheart, that helped for what I needed. I owe you one.

I was able to find this How To.:

I'll see if I can find more.

This one was even better. Thank you. I wanted something to be bold and possibly underlined. I was also looking for buttons and size but it just became too much for a simple story by a simple author. LOL

I'm figuring if I want bold and underline I should use <b,u> text </b,u> Does this seem right? should I leave out the (,) comma? I may just use the bold.
love ya

Again, I can only suggest you tie the age in with the activities of children that age. With her period, you can say she didn't start hers until much later than the other girls, again no time period is given.

I understand needing to include things in a story. But if you can't find away around what you're trying to write, then for Lit., maybe you should consider not posting it here, no matter how much you desire to.

<B ><U >Text </U ></B > - should work, minus of course the spaces between the letter and the > . (whatever that thing is called)

I hope it helps and you're very welcome.

Thank you, my Earth day Story is pretty much ready to go, thanks to you and Estragon.

Yes, in Math. Didn't think they'd call them the same thing when speaking tag lingo. lol

You'll have to hit Dark up for that. I use them but never speak them.

Oh, it's not a big deal. I just use them too. lol

Thanks! I'll remember that by imagining pointy diamonds.

I do so love this thread, where I can just post some random question and get some good convo going. . .

A good handgun for a single man, kept in his bedside table, with a bullet beside the gun, that can easily be slipped into the chamber.

Thoughts? Opinions?

A 9mm with a clip is good and has a bunch of bullets

A .38 with a quick loader gives you 6 shots quickly.

Today I'd go with the 9mm

Hmm... okay. I can have a clip instead of one lonely little bullet.

Glocks are common hand guns used on both sides of the law. It's that unique special bullet that makes it a key item of interest. The guy will always police his brass too, never leaving behind the casing.

Oh "police his brass" --- *swoons* Such knowledgeable language.

My fellow is a neighbor who is just grabbing his gun because of a disturbance, he won't fire it. (and least I don't see him firing it yet)

If you've seen the movie Gran Torino, Clint's character sounds much like yours. Give it a watch for some ideas.

Here's a thought. Your guy might be an ex marine and has his dress revolver still. A pearl handled Colt 45, or the like. Ex cop or someone who had a special gun given as a present might work in.

I have seen it, been a while though.

I'm sure he's been in the service, just don't know if that's a focus point. Right now he just finished

-- spoiler alert --

burying his dog (and no he didn't use the gun).

Interesting. In the movie Clint just loses his wife, but still has his dog. Real ornery, cantankerous bastard too. Some good character reference in there I think, that might help.
I have a nice little poem about losing a dog called, My lovely wee Beastie, you're welcome to throw in if it fits.

I wrote a poem about fish being flushed down the toilet, it's an audio submission.

I'd go with the 38

Glock or otherwise, if you've got a magazine, you are going to get bullets that jam. I've shot a full range of 9mms and never had one that didn't jam from time to time, no matter how good a gun it is. If it's on my bedside for self-defense, that's the last thing I want to worry about.

38 revolver all the way. Also, at the distance you would be shooting if the gun is on your bedside table, there is no need to worry that the .38 would not have sufficient stopping power.
