Book Launch

I’m writing a book (how original, I know) centered around a girl named, you guessed it, Bells. The first one was called "Hell’s Bells" after the AC-DC song. I tried looking for another song title that would capture the feel of the second one, but no such luck. This one is about turning her life around. She just got smacked down by a guy and wants to surge forward, so anything like "Ring my Bells" or "Broken Bells" won’t work. Here’s the summary-in-progress:

{This semester, things are going to be different. This semester, things are going to change…} Bells is turning her life around. No more waiting for things to potter along, she’s going to launch herself at life with a running start. But this time life might not reciprocate those feelings…

And in it Bells is going to Prague for a week for a competition. Here are a few I thought up,

-Bells Abroad
-Bells at Large (but this made it seem as if she spontaneously became obese or something)

And that’s it. So some help from all you at Yahoo! Answers would be much appreciated.

‘The Bell Cow’
The bell cow is the cow in the herd that leads the other cows back to the barn at milking time. The farmer recognizes this cow as a leader and puts a bell around her neck which helps the other cows learn to follow her.
I think it fits her properly. Since Bell is taking charge of her life.
The term is also used in the NFL for RBs that are bruisers, that lead the pack on their team.
Reggie Bush of the Miami Dolphins is a Bell Cow.
He rushed for 9 TDs with 1,086 yds.
He is a Bell Cow.

I have began writing a book these holidays. I was wondering if anyone could read the Prologue of the book I have written, and I ask for your opinions. I can only fit 2 pages on but if you could read it and give opinions I would be grateful!

The Others:

A steady stream of customers had made Alex’s day a long but relatively easy one. The air conditioner had long been broken and the ventilation ducts did nothing but blast hot air and foul smells of burnt burrito’s, and onion rings from the Mexican restaurant next door. “One chicken Supreme”, shouted Alex as he slid his final crudely made burger of the day down the order slide to Anna at the counter. “Thanks Alex”, Anna shouted, “You can be clocking off now; I’ll see you in the morning.”
Alex had worked in the “Go Fast”, burger bar in the food court for around 2 years now. The pay was steady but the work dull and monotonous. Alex was 37, although to anyone else he was 35. After his father’s death, when Alex was 16, his mother had bribed a doctor on the base to change his birth certificate to make him two years younger, so that his mother could continue getting benefit credits for two more years in order to sustain Alex’s two younger siblings; Shaun now 22, and Malia now 28. Ever since then, upon job applications, medical forms, licences, and work permits, Alex has put down his age at 35, for if he were to change it to his actual age; now that his mother no longer needs or would receive benefit credits, someone in the Buerea would notice and smell a rat. So for safeties sake he always put down that he was 35.
***
Alex lived in Base Conor, Latin for “venture”, on the planet Rodishia; a small and fertile planet (albeit a wet one) around 3 billion light years from Earth. The planet was colonised in 2056 by the three largest superpowers of earth at the time. China, India, and The Russian Federation. After a successful yet small colonisation of The Moon in 2036 by a collaboration between China and India, plans were made to colonise another planet; the newly discovered Rodishia. To the human race it was perfect for colonisation; fertile, with large traces of water, a cool yet comfortable atmosphere, a nearby sun and moon as well as a relatively level terrain. Within a year of its discovery by a Russian astrologist, a probe was sent to the planet in which it found evolved plant life, water with a high mineral count and oxygen. The problem was though that the oxygen was thin, to thin for human life to breath, yet enough for evolved plants to respire and to grow. By 2039, a collaborated launch of rocket “Rodishia” funded by China, engineered by Russia, and built and launched by India took off. The rocket was the largest and most expensive ever built, a 5 stage, 308 meter tall, fossil fuelled, “space vehicle”, in which carried nine men, three from each country, into space. The journey was plagued by technical difficulties and mishaps but after 3 months, 27 days, 12 hours and 5 minutes of flight, the crew had landed there module safely, but bumpily, down upon the surface of Rodishia.
The “Module” consisted of an oblong shaped container in which sat the first pre-fabricated pieces of the small base in which would be constructed upon the surface, and the dome shaped command pod, in which the 9 strong crew sat and controlled the Module during its flight. The construction of the “surface base” took only a day and contained sleeping and living quarters for the 9 men, as well as a control console with communication with earth. On 12th August 2039 extraterrestrial life was first discovered. On a routine material gathering exercise, 3 of the crew discovered a primitive, almost medieval like village beside the T junction of a small stream and a large fast flowing river. It is reported that the crew were met by a “Flock of evolved human like people, a crowd 30-40 strong, men, women and children.” Within 100 days, 3 more rockets were launched up to Rodishia, all containing more pieces of prefabricated structure to expand the Surface Base, in which the newly named “Human like creatures”, began helping to build. Interest back on earth increased to an astounding amount, as did the interest of other countries on earth, especially the United States, Great Britain, and France. By August 2040 both the “Collaboration” consisting of India, Russia and China, and the newly formed “Western Alliance”, consisting of The United States of America, Great Britain, and France” were both sending rockets to Rodishia at an astounding pace of 2 per month. Plans were soon formed to build a “Mega colony” in which both the “Collaboration” and “Western Alliance” activities would be based. It was planned to be built across the river from the Human Likes village, so that the Human Likes could assist in the construction. However communication and language barriers meant that time needed to be taken in educating the Human Likes to speak a universal language. (((((CANT FIT ANYMORE ON!)))))

Hey! I really like that! It is interesting and makes you want to read more and more!
oh and i never knew that you could spell this word differently colonisation, i was always taught colonization, but i googled it and it is not a mistake! ah good to learn something new today! haha!

Good luck to you

The alarm goes off, and my eyes open, only to find that it was already past 7:30
“OH MY GOSH! I’M GOING TO BE SOOOOOO late!”
I scurry around my room putting on random clothes. I run to the bathroom, grab a brush, and rip it through my fine, pale blonde hair. I grab a rubber band and tie my hair back into a pony tail. By the time I’m lacing up my boots, it’s 7:45. I grab a knife, shove it in my boot, grab my house keys, my necklace, my phone, my book bag, my binder, and run out the door. As soon as I locate my bike, I hop on and pedal as fast as I can toward school. But, I see this very strange looking man walking down the street. Silver white hair, black cloak, and he’s carrying a large, old, leather bound book. I find myself slowing down, so I start pedaling again.
I easily slip through the lousy security and metal detector, and walk onto the school property just in time to get to my locker and get to class. I settle back in my seat, getting ready for a normal, humdrum day. I look up, and see the strange man from that morning. Now that I can see him up closer, I can see that he has a small tattoo above his left eye, and his mouth is always twisted into a smirk. He sees me watching him. He laughs a high pitched laugh that sets the nerves on edge. It leaves my ears ringing, so I place my hands over my ears and put my head down on my desk. It muffles the loudness of my classmates chitchat. The strange man says something, then all of a sudden, the noise just STOPS. I sit straight up and try to see what he had done to my classmates.
“gaizkiaren espiritua, haur horien sakrifizio hau onartzea. laster, free izango duzu…” He is entrancing them with his book! I take a glance around the room, and see that along with myself, my best friends Kimmi, Katelyn, and Amy are the only ones not in a daze. They look utterly confused, but at least they aren’t living zombies. I look at the strange man, who seems completely absorbed in his chant, so I get on top of my desk, and get ready to launch myself towards the man.Luckily I have a second row seat, so there’s not too much space to go over. I figure that if I get the book away, my classmates will snap out of their trance. I position myself to launch myself using the momentum from my legs. I will leap, grab the book, tuck and roll, then throw the book out the window on my right. I go through the steps in my mind, and then actually jump. But something’s wrong. I am heading right where I aimed, but once I am 5 feet away, I travel sideways and smack into the whiteboard. I lay in a heap, and survey the room. I see Kimmi, Katelyn, and Amy trying desperately to rouse another good friend of ours, but to no avail. I crawl over and grab Kimmi’s leg.
She jumps three inches off the ground and says, “Gosh! You scared me!” Kimmi
“Kimkim, everything scares you” I whisper. I pull myself back up using the edge of the desk.
I grab Kimmi, Katelyn, and Amy and pull them behind the teacher’s desk.
“Ok, everyone, the plan is to beat the crap out of him and get the class out of that dude’s hold.”
“Ok Amanda, and how do you propose we do that?” Katelyn hisses.
“Let me see, I have a string, a fist sized rock, a stick knife that I made myself, a spare chain to lock my bike, a lock, and a battery.” I say as I lay out my weapons.
Kimmi shakes her long head of dark hair and says, “Of all days you choose to be clean of weapons, you chose today.”
“Wait, I think there’s something in my boot…” I pull out my steel throwing knife and add that to the pile.
“Amanda, still, you don’t have very good stuff today. Dude, you could do SO much better.” Amy sighs. “Let me see what I have.” She lays out a small metal flashlight, a pocketknife, and some gauze and ace wrap.
Katelyn laughs and says, “I’m better off than any of you!” She lays out four brass knuckles, a throwing knife, a rock, another chain, another lock, and a mini crowbar.
We all look at her in shock. I’m the first one to break the silence.
“Katelyn! Since when do you carry weapons?!” I ask a little loudly.
She replies, “When you got your butterfly knife taken away by the principal because you threatened a sevie with it. I figured that you’d need backup weapons when you got into a fight or something. Plus, I see you walk right past the retarded security guards and the cheap metal detector when you’re LOADED with weapons. It’s easy to bring the weapons in without being noticed.” She smirks and twirls a pair of brass knuckles on her finger.
I lean over and hug her. “Katelyn, this is why you are one of my closest friends. You know me so well!”
Amy breaks the hug by saying, “Amanda! Dude! We have some weird guy out there bewitching our classmates here! It kinda sorta needs immediate attention!”
“Oh, right. Ok, someone attach the locks to the chains, everyone take brass knuckles, Amy and Katelyn, you get the chains, I’ll carry the medical stuff in my book bag. I’ll take my throwing knives. Kimmi, take the stick knife and pocket knife. Whatever is left, put in the bag!” I slip one knife into m
into my boot,and the other into my belt, then put the brass knuckles onto my right hand.
I poke my head over the top of the desk. What I see almost makes me scream, but I bite my hand to keep it in.

Btw, the chants are in Basque.

Also, this school is almost EXACTLY like my school. The security and metal detectors are pieces of crap, so its easy to sneak weapons in.

I thought it was pretty good, but personally, I prefer books that start out a little slower, and give some background to the novel. Overall, I kept wanting to read it, it didn’t bore me. It definitely got my attention, though, when the girls started to take out weapons. I was thinking "Wait, what kind of school is this? Where survival of the fittest turns to survival of the fittest with most weapons?"

I would like to read more though. It seems interesting.

Chapter 4.0 Atheos Fun Dieus Finds Uranus.

4.0 Atheos Fun Dieus was a simple Gawd with a simple dream: to reach Uranus and claim it as his own. Atheos Fun Dieus has spent an eternity trying to unlock the mysteries of the universe, but he keeps coming back to Uranus. To which General Failure replied with pride I have dreamed of being the first Asstronaut on Uranus… Any General would be honoured to be the first General Failure on Uranus.

4.1 Atheos Fun Dieus then calls General Failure and asks, where can I find Uranus I wish to take it over. To which General Failure replies “Oh I know this! Umm…oh I can’t remember but Uranus is definitely on the tip of my tongue.

4.2 General Failure then asks Theos Fun Dieus to evolve toilet paper into a Starship to go hovering around Uranus looking for Klingons and because Uranus is a gas giant.

4.3 To which Atheos Fun Dieus says Uranus is only a gas giant part of the time, the rest of the time it’s just a brown dwarf! It is believed that the toxic gases inside Uranus surround a crunchy peanut butter core. So Be careful General Failure.

4.4 Then Athos Fun Dieus echoes the famous words as General failure prepares to launch the invasion "Keep thinking about Uranus. Never lose sight of it, and then, reach for it and probe it well make it ready to receive me."

4.5 Beware General Failure I see there is a black hole near Uranus. I saw Uranus and the black hole through my tellallscope. Uranus is often seen as a cold and desolate place, but in fact it is extremely volatile and alive.

4.6 Remember when you succeed in you’re endeavour General Failure time, and history, will never forget the first man on Uranus.

4.7 Since the dawn of time, Atheos Fun Dieus has been trying to reach and conquer Uranus. And using the brains of the operation General Failure his dream of conquest will become reality.

4.8 Gen. Failure here Gawd I am now in position to blow my load on Uranus soon. We have plunged quite a few orbiters into Uranus. Gawd asks Any intelligence reports back from the landing team? Gen Failure replies The group of men who first dared venture to Uranus have never since spoken of what they saw.

4.9 General Failure radios back to Gawd, “What do I do with Uranus as a (w) hole?” Atheos Fun Dieus replies “wipe it out.” After the crap hit the fan and settled down General Failure braod cast these epic words "Uranus is conquered! Now bow down and accept the reign of His Funniness Gawd Atheos Fun Dieus!"
Uranus is crawling with life. No women have ever been to Uranus, but men… they’ve been all over it. General Failure’s last transmission was this… Put your seatbelt on guys, i want to try something…Who is Major Tom …..oh Gawd arrrggggh fark.

Y,all men

Shouldn’t you be doing your homework?

We’re not married but mature answers are desired

Although unfortunate, I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m in a serious relationship with someone that once had a serious drug addiction. The drugs and the dark life that comes with it, put him into a position where he ended up in rehab. All of his friends walked out of his life as well. He was left lonely and depressed. When he reached his lowest point, I actually visited him in the rehab and have been by his side ever since. My friendship and eventually relaitonship was a bright moment in his life. Once he got back on his feet, he decided to write a book about his experience to encourage people (especially children) not to go the same path that he did. He met his goal and self pubilshed the book.

The book is amazing and I’ve read it from front to back. However, what stood out to me is that while he thanks, mentions, and appreciates the friends and family that are part of his life and have been there for him – I am not mentioned. Not as a fictious name or even referenced somehow. I am just not mentioned at all. It is like I don’t exist. It is like he made a concious point to not include me. He is still in a halfway house now where at certain times of the day, emails are the best form of communicate for us. So, I emailed him twice explaining how I felt about not being mentioned. First, I approached it as a joke and then more seriously. He’s non responsive to those emails but replies to everything else.

Also, he always told me that he doesn’t want his private business out. Yet, there’s this book that speaks on relationships with his Ex’s and a drug addiction. I launched promotion for his book before I read it, now I feel like an idiot. There are also presentations that we are supposed to work on together and I don’t want to do those now. I would feel like a fool. It’s like I want to tell him to have the people that he mentioned in his book to work on the projects with him.

I’ll admit to once telling him to keep our relationship discreet but he could have gave me a thank you in the back of the book or presented me in the book as a character with another name.

I just can’t believe this…but I’m not sure if I’m reacting properly. This is why this world is turning into one where good people no longer help others

You seem to be taking this rather harder than is warranted. And it also seems he has removed you form his life. You cannot always expect people will be grateful to you or even considerate, as is the case here. You helped him, he’s better, now you need to move on and not keep dwelling and stressing over this, not one thing you can do about it, his ego has taken over.

Dude, I’m not sure what you’re on about and why you’re babbling about this Uranus thingy….I’m Jupiter! You got it? I am the true gas giant.

Hi there.

I’m thinking of writing a book about a world-over civil war after research is poured into space travel and looking for a habitable planet to settle down.

Thing is I need some perspectives as to why you wouldn’t want to colonise another planet, considering all the things wrong with this one.

any views at all would be fantastic, evne if you are for such a thing it would add maybe an extra character into the story for the other side.

Also, if you wondering and it makes any difference, we will have lightspeed travel capability after extensive research, several shuttle all over the world preparing to be launched, and the planet we would travel to is an actual one we found in 2011 that is habitable, link is below.

again, thanks for any help
I think I’d have to proof-read my book before I do anything with it, just this quesion is terrible in grammar and spelling without proof-reading
Alot of ideas thrown in here are also ideas for my book!

I have alot more ideas to throw in but Don’t want to reveal them, because however lame it sounds, who knows how many book idea ninjas hide on R&S?

*shifty eyes*
Patient, the basics of the idea probably have been done before yes, but I have an idea that I think will slot in more.

And I wasn’t asking for book ideas, I was asking for opinions of real people that I could add into my book. Im sure the big novel writters ask people who have been in the military what its like, or ask people who have been stabbed what that feels like to add more detail and realism (If thats a word…) to it.

Personally, no. But you would have to get me sooo drunk for space travel…. I think I’d be alright after getting up into space… it’s the Lift Off, I’d probably pee my pants.

Ah, I remember hearing about that. Good idea for a book! =)

Because he barely entered the race and he’s already launched ugly attacks against Romney, Obama, and even George W. Bush.

He implied Bush was not a real Texan by claiming Bush went to Yale, while he attended Texas A&M.

He said the troops do not like serving under Obama because he was never in the military. I didn’t know that was a requirement to be President – plenty of Presidents were never in the military.

And he said Romney was a bad governor in Massachusetts.

We all know Republicans wrote the book on ugly campaigning. Republicans to making ugly campaign tactics is like Italians to making pasta. But it seems Rick Perry may be a new breed of Republican – he will burn every bridge in the GOP primaries, and then, if he makes in the General Election, he will turn the ugly up even more.

Before it’s all said & done, I expect Rick Perry to accuse Obama of rape, accuse Romney of murder, and accuse Bachmann of being a prostitute.
I also forgot, he called Ben Bernanke a "traitor" to this country and that if he came to Texas, he’d get an "ugly" treatment.

That’s pretty vile (Bertrand).

I don’t think Republicans care if he’s ethical or honest…as long as he wins. Sad state of affairs in GOP-Land.

i have a dell inspiron 1440 laptop of which i have only had for 1 year and 6 or 7 months, and the battery on it is totally run down to where it will not even turn on unless it is plugged in, and when you unplug it to move to a different room, it shuts down completely. i had had troubles with it overheating so i took it apart to see if the fan was clogged or something and when i put it back together the delete button and the right and down arrow buttons no longer worked. i managed without them, although it was bothersome, and as for the overheating i just used it on top of a cookie rack. one night when i was using it in my living room, i unplugged it to move into my room with it, and when i plugged it back in and booted it up it said it was unable to start, and that i should launch startup repair, so i thought nothing of it because it had done it several times in the past week, and i would Just launch startup repair and it would just tell me to restore it to an earlier point in time, so i would do that, but this time it just said that it couldn’t fix it, and it told me to send a message to microsoft or something, so i clicked send and after that when i shut it down and restarted it again, it did the same thing, and when i Select start Windows normally, it just looks like its about to start, then it goes back to the black screen where it says:
launch startup repair(recommended)
start windows normally

and no matter how many times i launch startup repair, it will not find anything, and in the info about the tests, it says it couldnt find the root cause of the problems and stuff. it wont even let me get into it so i can backup the book i have pain-stakingly been writing, or unsinstall the sims so it doesnt mess it up, or let me backup my stuff. so to me it looks like my only options are to restore it to factory setting which i would really really REALLY rather not do, because i have files i CANT AFFORD TO LOSE!!!!!!!!! or type some kind of code in the command prompt to make it start. and it doesnt have an option for safe mode so i cant go into it in safe mode. i cant afford to take it to a shop because i am very poor, and i dont know any codes to use cause i suck at programming:( so if anyone knows anything to do pleeeeaaasssseeeeee let me know. i cant really live without my laptop and i cant really afford another one. so if anyone knows how i could get into it one more time to backup my files or how i could backup my hard drive and recovery drive or if i can just take out the hardrive and put it into a new computer to save my stuff onto or some way to get in one more time and backup my important files and uninstall the sims 2 before i restore it to factory settings i would ultra apprecitate it. i need my computer back so also if you know any codes to enter in the command prompt i could try, please tell me!!!!! love you guys;p bye. and thanks for your answers, they are all appreciated ;p

take out hard drive from laptop to another computer as a slave drive or external drive, and then copy your important files out. If needed, use recovery program, a good one can be found below
http://www.asoftech.com/adr/

after you get all your important files backed up, you can then proceed to reinstall your Windows.
