Write a novel and have it published

I have began writing my actual novel :D
Hopefully this is it.
I have the children’s writer’s & Artist’s yearbook’s 2008 and 2009
Oh and I’ve written on microsoft word, so far, 1,731 words
I’m really excited because I have lots of ideas for the ‘series’
And I cannot wait to send the manuscript off

I’ve always loved creativity, writing and reading, but I just never seem to be able to finish any of the novels I’ve writ. Writing a novel is a hard process, and so is publishing a novel, but I believe I can do it.
