Okay so i gotta finish my first manuscript today and make sure it's all nice and presentable by tomorrow after noon. I'm scary nervous about it getting read by this publisher but i'm also excited. been wanting this for a long time now. But the problem? i still need to complete like thirty more pages before it's done!!!
HELP ME FOCUS!!!!
Wow congrats on getting your work in front of a publisher! Which one is it? With an incentive like I'm sure you won't have an issue getting done. Make sure you blog how it goes :)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck
Dorrance Publishers. You heard of them?
Deleteoh, well see I write differently from other people i guess, it's hard to explain but when my fingers start aching i know i have to write but like if they arnt then i never get anything done. i cant comand my creativeness
OOh and thanks for the vote of confidence(:
DeleteNo worries babe. Writing is a very lonely (and initially, unrewarding) career choice. I believe in supporting not yet published authors because it gets very wary, locked in a room with only a head full of characters. Pretty much how I imagine living in a mental asylum might be...
DeleteI haven't heard of them but I haven't done a lot of research into publishers; it's exciting no matter who it is.
Did you get the thirty pages written?
I did finish the thirty pages but then i discovered I need to do like thirty more because it ran longer than i had thought it was going to(: lol. But as for the writing being an unrewarding career choice? I'd have to disagree. I started writing for me. to me it's FUN. i'm only publishing it because i want other people to read the world i created. I just hope people will love it like i do(:
DeleteThey always run longer than intended!
DeleteI have two different projects I work on, the ones I write just for me, and the ones I write with the intent to publish. I find it's unrewarding purely for the whole 'friends' aspect. I don't get a lot of time with them and when I do it's like 'so are you published yet...' and you always get THAT LOOK when you say no. I dislike that people think it's so easy.
OMFG! yes!! finally someone who understands. sometimes you wanna just tell them "bitch i write when i want, there is no experation date!" lol. But i get what you mean. my friends do the same.
