be a published writer

I have started writing a book… need to continue and actually finish it though. Once its finished i definatly want to have it published.

Should it count if material that I have written appears on a Non-for-profit organizations website? And I don’t mean in a comment or forum section, I mean actual webpage content?

I’ll have to think about that one.

One day I do hope to write a book but at this point that it just a pipe dream since I don’t have time. lol

I wish I had the guts to even submit something to my school’s literary magazine. That’ll count in my book. XD

A friend of mine from university recently (as in 3 weeks ago) published a book she’d been working on for the last 2.5 – 3 years.

This gives me hope….now all I need is focus!

keeping my fingers crossed and my head in the clouds

It’s fun and satisfying, but it doesn’t pay the bills unless you’re a totally mainstream and well-selling writer. Still, it’s worth it.

hi

I’ve only had this goal for one day and I’m already rethinking it. I don’t really care for publishing anymore. I just want to write a book.

I can see it already all over the New York Times—“SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD PENS THE GREATEST NOVEL OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY”

I wish I had the patience (and talent) to complete a whole novel! I already have a whole story plotting in my head. I even created the family tree of my main character. Her name will be Sophia Castle and she’s going to be a Shakesearean actress from the 1920s, either in New York or Paris. Her best friend will be called Zelda Nightingale, a real jazz baby.

School is getting in the way of my ambitions.

I really want to be a published writer. More than something just on my blog or on a networking site. I want to write something with substance.

Is having Danielle send in my ‘monster’ short story. I also need to be writing weekly.
