SO HAPPY!
How I did it: I've been writing stories and novels since I was four years old, so I was pretty experienced when I began. I actually didn't intend on publishing my book (Infinity).... I had just finished reading Twilight, and it inspired me to write a fantasy novel! So, I worked on it for about 6 months, editing and rewriting (I rewrote an entire half of the book because I didn't like it) and so that took a while, but after I was done, I realized that I… Read how I did it…

FULL OF GLEE!
How I did it: I wrote it, found a publisher who'd let me own all the rights, went around and marketed it. I even got it into Chapters. Just one store for now... it's only been out a month. But I'm on my way. Read how I did it…

Agreeing is hard! 
How I did it: Part of my fiction writing class was to build a publishable portfolio of short stories. At the end of the semester, we all chose one story to be published in a class anthology. Getting 25 people to agree on the cover design, the name, the format is SO hard. “Point Blank” was its name. It was a limited printing, and I didn’t write the WHOLE thing, but I think it still counts as Publishing a book. Plus, I designed the cover and everythin… Read how I did it…

Rewarding
How I did it: After I wrote over 90 poems in 90 days, I just went back through them and changed a few things.Because there was so much going on in my head, I was able to write most poems within 15-20 minutes. At times, I would write seven in one day.I was able to write my acknowledgments in under one hour. Read how I did it…

So haven’t written anything in a couple of weeks, which I’m a bit disappointed by. Hoping to get some written tomorrow and also hoping to get a sample of one of the chapter published in the Literary Society anthology at the end of the school year. I’ll have been partly published then, which will be great and hopefully my reviews will be published in the student paper. All steps towards publishing. :D

I have written several novels, all of which I am too afraid to show to anyone, despite being able to take a lot of criticism on my art. I don’t think anyone but me would enjoy them. Someday, I hope to get over this and try to get one published.

I’m a huge writer. I write realistic-fiction, poetry, and I also enjoy toying with the concepts of utopia’s and dystopia’s. I’ve had alot of great ideas in the past but never got around to finishing them. A reason why is because I have a lack of motivation problem. Another reason why is because I’m not sure what to write about. A book of poetry, a life of a teenager in highschool, a society dominated by females…. These are all some of my idea’s but I’m still not sure which one to work on and complete.
So far, I’ve only completed one novel, but I don’t want to publish that one. It’s far to personal and it’s a fan fiction novel for 30 Seconds to Mars….

The agent or the publisher? Do you need an agent to be published or are you provided with one by the publishing company? It’s such a chicken and egg situation! XD
