Here’s the deal:
I started swimming about 4 years ago for a local YMCA team. Not very competitive, but I swam for about a year. I decided I didn’t like competing and quit.
Two years later, in 7th grade, I joined a water polo team. It was really fun, and I considered going back to swim team too. I haven’t gone back to water polo since I changed schools and haven’t been able to find a good team yet– but that’s a whole other story.
Ahemmmm… Anyways, in July 2011, I went back to swim team, this time on a more advanced, competitive swim team. However, I only actually participated in one real meet. I only joined to get in my PE credit. In April of 2012, I quit yet again.
In August 2012, I rejoined, because I really didn’t want to do volleyball, and I had to get in PE time somehow. Now it’s January 2013 and I really want to quit swim team for good once I get in the necessary PE hours. I’m thinking I’d quit in April or May.
See, here’s the thing. I know the story I’ve told above makes me out to be a quitter– Usually, I’m not. I’ve never quit on academics, or music, or anything. However, I’m really NOT an athletic person, and I’ve struggled to find my niche there. I thought I had finally found a talent in swimming (I’m fairly good) but I just keep going back and forth and I need closure.
The thing is, I love the reward you get for being a great swimmer, but I’m not so sure I’m willing to put in the time and commitment it demands. I’m more worried about just keeping healthy than anything else.
I know I need to stick it out at least until April. But… Should I quit? I took a break during December, and I really enjoyed not being on the team. Whenever it’s time for swim team, I get cranky and I wish that I would get sick or break my leg on accident– anything to get out of swim team. Honestly, I can’t remember myself ever TRULY loving swim team. But I feel like my parents would be disappointed in me for quitting. I already had a small talk about it with my mom and she’s been trying to keep me from quitting. She really wants me to swim since she was on a high school swim team a long time ago but has ear problems and can’t swim now. She wants me to swim since she couldn’t. I’m really not sure what she’s thinking and I have no idea what the outcome will be if I do quit.
What should I do?

Hey guys,
I sent my query letter off last night and today I got a reply from the agent saying that my book isn’t really her type.
But! I’m wondering if it has anything to do with my query? A friend of mine showed me how to write one but i got refused by two agents, hmmm…..
I’m going to paste the first chapter of my query and if you guys could give me an honest opinion and some suggestions, that would make my day! This is my first time and I really need some help :/
Dear Mrs ??????,
May I please send you my novel, The Freak in Me, for your consideration? It’s approximately 55,814 words and it’s an occurring story, telling the story of a seventeen year old girl who believed she was kidnapped but thanks to her trauma her mind had blocked everything. One day a striking young man walks into her life and she quickly falls in love but little does she know, her life is going to get a lot worse and later discovers a hidden dark secret she never knew she had. This novel has a mixture of thriller/drama/comedy and it’s aimed it at the young adult market.
Thank you so much for your time! 🙂

I’m really into writing atm. I really want a good plot/storyline that i can make into a book? Thanks for any suggestions. I would probably like a fantasy 🙂

I decided that most of my characters will be of Italian decent. So it looks like I will be changing a few character names and surnames to Italian names. So I’m looking for Italian names (for both boys and girls) and I’m also needing Italian surnames.
I have a couple of characters in my story that are wealthy/well-to-do and I also have a couple of characters that are bad news and affiliated with some bad people. So I need Italian surnames that sound wealthy and some that sound like bad news/trouble.
Does anyone know of any Italian names and surnames that they would like to share?

There is a long story affiliated with this, but here’s the short version:
I have worked with this girl for 4 years.
We have been as close as “work friends” can be, but the over last couple of months we have been distant.
We never saw each other outside of work.
We have always taken interest in each other’s life. But we have barely made any physical contact (we are both awkwardly shy).
She has always had a boyfriend since before we met, so I’ve never made a move on her. But, I’ve never really hid the fact that I like her.

Here is the important part:
She stayed after work for half an hour the other day just to talk to me (I was still working). We caught up a little bit, as we haven’t seen each other in a while.
In that timeframe, she found at least 5 reasons to touch me and hugged me 3 times.
That was weird to me, because she has never been the touchy-feely type. I think she is still dating the guy, but do you guys think this has any meaning? Should I go after her?
