Started an opening paragraph of the new novel I’m beginning. Although I’m only 13, I’m hoping to continue and then eventually publish (thats a while away, but.)
Those kind enough to give me some feedback, view it here: http://arianejaccarini.blogspot.com/

It’s only, what? 432 words?
Anywho, hoping to write 50,000 by December 07.
Aiming to type some every night.
I’m only 13, but hoping to publish once completed.
Might it be relevant to add that I have not yet developed a plot? Seeing as I basically know my main character, Emérance, a complete figment of imagination, I’m hoping that her words and basically her story will just flow. So far, only just happening. I need you all to motivate me!

Any ideas for a plot, perhaps?

Hello :)
I’m 13-years-old and have always dreamed of publishing a novel.
I want to study English Literature at Uni and I have always loved writing. In year 3 I won a Best In State 24-carat gold medal for a comprehension test. And I also won a poetry competition in Year 2.Also, Ive taken writing courses, entered my work in Anthology stuff etc. Anyway, sorry lol I’m not here to gloat.

I also would love to publish a novel between now and when I’m 17. I don’t know why, but it would just be…better(?) If I published a novel at a young age. Now, if you want something, you can’t just sit back and let it happen, but I havent. I’m working on a story now, and when I type it up (Ive been writing it freehand) Ill post it :) It’s called Holly Would.

I Have Some Questions:
-Would I be able to publish at a young age?
-If so, What are some good publishers in Australia (for when I finish the book) I know Random House, Sid Harta, Vanity Press, Scholastic etc. etc.
-Whats an Anthology? Like a magazine? I entered one but I dno what it is :P
-Do any of you have suggestions or advice?

Thankyou.
