The Legends
There are references to Lilith in many myths and legends, from the ancient Sumerian mythology to the Old Testament.
In the Cabala, she is refered to as the first wife of Adam. At first, God created both Adam and Lilith in the same way and from the same substance. Lilith was aware of this fact and refused to be submissive to her husband, claiming that since they were both conceived in equal manner, there should be no difference between them. She would say 'Why should I lay down beneath you? Why should I open myself beneath your body? Why should I be dominated by you? I was also made from dust and, therefore, I am your equal."
When Lilith inquired God about this, He told her that it was the natural order of things for the woman to be dominated by the man. Refusing to accept the idea, she left Eden, never to come back.
After her departure, God created another wife for Adam, Eva, who was created from a part of his body. In this way, Eva would never be an equal to her husband.
God also sent three angels to look after Lilith - Sanvi, Sansavi and Samangelaf. However, she refused to come back and joined the Fallen Angels, marrying Samael.
Lilith represents the fight for equality between male and female, the liberty of women and the castration of men. She was also the first woman to rebel against the patriarchal system.
Throughout History, the figure of Lilith has been associated in many different ways with evil, demons and the Underworld. She is refered to as the mother of monsters such as the Incubus, the Sucubus and the Lamia. Her children and her were also somehow linked to vampirism, transforming Lilith into the Mother of all vampires.
Concepts such as Night, Moon, Death, Pain, Disease and Luxury are commonly associated to Lilith.
The meaning of Annitu
The word 'annitu', in ancient Sumerian, means something similar to the English word 'behold'.
Therefore, Annitu Lilith means 'Behold Lilith'.

I suppose the story itself was a one-shot, though I'd classify it as an off-shoot of another story, a situation that could have happened but was decided against. I tried to put in essential information that I thought would make the reader want to know more, really. I'm not so sure how it worked, knowing all the backround already, and the practical follow-up of what would happen.
Working on one book at a time is a good thing. Probably that was my one peice of commentary that I'll never ever listen to myself, you know? But yeah- I don't think a lot of people would know that King wrote in a differant name. I didn't until I saw the book at the Goodwill that I got it from...
Actually, my Great-Grandmother had twins- my Grandmother IS a twin. 3nodding Though... I hope I grow a couple feet- become tall... cause I'm kinda short... in a way. I'm a medium-short, if you go Tall, tall-medium, medium, medium-short, short. What hight on that scale would you be, out of curiosity?
To reach my dream? I'm practicing by putting down each plotline that rolls off my tounge on paper whenever I feel it. Lately I've been forcing it, just to keep in the habit, but that'll pass. I'm also taking quite a few classes next year, too. And I'll look up other authors, and on and on. Studying their advise, and all that.
As to your parents... Kool. I suppose they were waiting till they were financhally stable to have kids and all that?

This giant grasshopper/praying mantis (I'm not sure) landed on my head when we were in the country a few days ago.
It was about the size of a closed human fist.
It was pretty heavy, too.
People around me either laughed or freaked out.
I was just glad it got away before someone squished it or something.

I do believe Jesus was human. The son of God, yes, special, yes, but human none the less. He was of flesh and blood just like you or I. He faught with temptation and sin just as anyone else would, but being who he was he was able to resist it. He was also able to die, was he not?
I don't know why, but your comment about Jesus made me think of Christmas. December 25th was originally the pagan selebration that honnored the son god Deus Sol Invictus. The decoratuion of trees arounfd this time was also practiced long before the first Christmas tree. Pagans usesd to hang apples from evergreen trees which represented the god Balder and were also a symbol of fertility. I don't know much about other European religions, though. What I do know comes from the little reading I was able to do.
