Rachel Bell, Age 14 1 day ago

I’ve honestly been writing books since I was 11. I know that the more and more I try; my books will get more and more creative. I love picturing things in my head like movie then going and writing something about it. I always have my friends read them. They usually say there’s nothing wrong with them, but that always makes me mad because I know there are some errors here and there. I know it will take me a long time to finish a good book, but that’s the price i’m willing to pay. Hopefully I’ll be done with my book “Kill me or Love me” by 2010. I’ll make sure to post it somewhere. =)

eBook 4 days ago

I’m going to be starting an eBook project soon after I get finished with the initial PDF when magazines. eBooks are very popular, inexpensive if not free to publish & market, and you can make something off of them. Most likely I will start with a free short one to gain a larger audience. Life Coach, Steve Bunyan is teaching me a lot about this. I met him on twitter @stevebunyan. You can hit me up @CSI_Talent … BTW, the advertising deal with the PhD hasn’t gone through yet, but When Mag is really doing a lot of brainstorming for a New Year’s Party/Talent Showcase in Nashville, TN – We’re looking forward to a great time!

Got the Outline done 2 weeks ago

And outlining is like the rough draft for me. I’m fleshing it out and then will go back over the whole thing when I am done. With hard work I’ll have this done before Yule and then I can start sending it around next year.

Children's Book-Hulabaloo 3 weeks ago

My fascination for children’s books has led me to want to write my own. I’ve started it and stopped so many times. I’ve finally decided that I’m going to sit down and just do it in hopes to have it published one day.

wow it's a whole lotta work 2 months ago

So I’ve been very counterproductive this whole time and I have decided to do something ore else I’m going to look back and regret all this. So it’s going to be a fantasy book so it means having to, on top of creating characters, creating worlds, cultures, etc. I bought to pin uip boards: one for the chapter layouts and the other for questions of who the characters are where they live and what are their cultures are. I basically put a question mark against everything and I know that before I can even begin writing I have to solve this rubiks cube. So I hope that I don’t give up like I usually do.

Wish me luck

Ps: does anyone have any helpful ideas on how you would set up to create a fantasy book?

Thanks



Why Not Me Too? 2 months ago

Several people I know have done this. I think I could get something published if I work at it harder. At the current rate, my novel should be done in 10 or 20 years, but I think I can do better.

My goal of writing daily is speeding up the process a bit… we’ll see if this goes anywhere.

Annemaart got sunburned at Oerol

The problem with this goal is... 3 months ago

...I want my firzt story / book to be some grandiose story with meaning and a unique storyline. Especially the unique bit. Every time I strat writing something I think ‘this or that author did it’ and I lose motivation.

At my birthdayparty we got on the subject and some of my friends suggested I should rewrite some of my travelstories. I felt this ‘had been done’ but they (justly) pointed out I shouldn’t care too much about that. Let the editors worry about whether something is worthy to publish.

So, I’ve decided I should just give the rewriting travelstories a try. I got an e-nmail from someplace about becoming a travelwriter and that really is a big dream of mine. An impossible dream probably, but especially those types of dreams are there to be hopelessly pursued.
