I am looking for books to read that are good or successful because of the characters, basically character studies. I'm a writer and I'm trying to learn how to create interesting, three-dimensional characters that are tolerable and likable to the audience.

Books that focus on reactions, motives, personality, background, etc. would be perfect with not as much emphasis on the plot.

P.S. A list would be GREAT. You can never soak up enough resources.

Please and thank you!

I've been thinking lately, and I've decided I want a Pen Pal.

I know there is Pen Pal World, but I want the best, most highly recommended Pen Pal system.

I've never really had a Pen Pal, except in 4th grade. XD So I'm a little rusty and I wanna make sure I'm not writing to some 45 year old con artist. I would highly appreciate it if you could tell me if the resource you list is free or not and how safe it is.

In a story I am currently adapting (teen characters), one of the characters is a werewolf. When I say werewolf, I mean the traditional scenario of turning into a blood thirsty monster on the full moon, not remembering a thing. Many of you are most likely to say "Obviously not well, shirlock!"

But if you were a teenage boy handling other things like grades, girls, fitting in and such, but becoming a completely different thing once a month, how would you deal?

- Would you tell your parents?

- How often would you think of this affliction?

- What precautions would you take based on the resources you have? (How would you be able to sneak out the WHOLE night-even on a week night-once a month without your parents noticing? What if you didn't have your driver's license yet-how would you reach the place you would change-?)

- How would you avoid getting caught?

I appreciate any of your opinions, please answer honestly, thoughtfully, and intricately!

The night before my dad decided to move out(seperated) I had a dream that he died in a car crash (loss)

One night I had a dream with a friend in it I hadn't talked to in years. The next day she added me on facebook and we talked. (reunion)

The night before my dad said he was successful with an interview, I had a dream he got a job. (prosperity)

when I was nine, I had a dream that I was taking a journey through the human body(may I remind you that this thought terrifies me), the next day I went over to a friends, she was having intercouse with a barbie doll (please PLEASE don't ask) and she tried to stick wires in my arm.

I think these are premonitions, but I don't know much else besides astrology and palmistry in this area.

I've always been fascinated by wolves. Does anyone know a site on the wolf's anatomy, behaviour, intincts, habits, senses etc? Or do you know yourself?

I love photography and began studying it, even found some angles and idea that would make REALLY good shots. Only problem is- I didn't have a camera. One day my little brother and I were exploring our very cluttered basement, and the two of us came across an old camera and a video-taper. I just love the camera, it's a polaroid, and I hadn't had one since I was 5. I remember taking pictures of everything...and now that I have this camera, I don't want any other. The only problem is- I don't have film. I've looked through the internet, none. So if anyone would so kindly tell me where I could get rolls of film for a POLAROID ONE-STEP FLASH, I would greatly appreciate it.

Do portkeys work on Hogwarts grounds, or is it banned like apparating and disapparating? It's for a Fan Fic I'm writing.

Is there a special cheat in the sims 2? Is it their aspirations? etc? Answer as soon as possible, I'm writing a story!

I've already created a plot I'm really commited to for this story: a good werewolf girl that slays bad demons and helps troubled, while battling her own issues. I can't think of a good title that doesn't sound cheesy!
