hey there, thought you could help me with something if you have a spare minute or two..I have an essay in philosophy to do on "what is the use/purpose/good of philosophy?" and I have to do 4-6 pages using examples,quotes,convincing the reader that my answer is the right one,arguments,ect. Deadline is in 1 days time! The teacher says to to an intro then develop in 3 parties of 3 different hypothsies and then in those 3 parties find as many arguments as you can to illustrate the point. He also wants it to be personal and the longer the better. :/ arghhh philo is hard! "what is the purpose of philo?" -- we are meant to explore the uses and why it can be seen as unuseful(like in todays society its less highly looked upon- people think philosophers just ask endless questions with no answers!!) If you are interested would love any more points/help on starting and developping.... if you can?I dont know whether this is something you like and is a bit weird to ask you when i dont know you but it seems that you have had more experience than me, if not no worries will make up something or other! Just cant get my plan or introduction started, have listed a ton of ideas just need to organise and then develop - the intro is the hardest part for me. Thanks Josie

Hi Jackie,
I've just taken up writing short stories again. While I wrote in HS and college (which was about 10 years ago) and got to go to workshops during that time, I always had a way of avoiding revising my stories and avoiding building in a coherence and structure that made them fully/sufficiently developed. As I have more time now, I've begun writing and am hoping to work on 1-3 works to submit to some competitions in the next few months. One piece has gotten some drastically mixed opinions. I was wondering if I could send you some of it and get your feedback on what works and what doesn't. I am particularly looking for things I need to work on in terms of plot/style/characterization. Thanks.

Hi Jackie. I've been writing and telling stories all my life. I've written several novel length works of fiction, but I"m running up against a wall when it comes to breaking into print. These works are like my children. I care for them, nurture them, watch them grow... And now I am really beginning to get frustrated. Would it be possible for you to look at one of them for me and tell me why?
Thanks.
Tami
