So writing is pretty cool...

CrowFairy:
Thank you! At current count, it's almost 86,000 words, but there's a lot that needs to be removed/edited and added. Getting all this done while in some of my busiest semesters in college was no easy task!

I actually did buy the Writer's Market with the year's free subscription to the website. I haven't used it yet because I wanted to wait until I really needed it so I can use it as long as possible. I've gone through and written down just about every agent and publishing house that would potentially take me. The list was kinda short. :/

Thanks for the advice! I haven't written one of those before, so I'll keep that in mind.

I'm actually working on it with my boyfriend, who has had these ideas since he was very young. He has enough ideas to keep this series running for the rest of our lives, honestly. I'm just going to keep on plugging through each book as well as I can, because these stories are far too good not to be told. It is my mission to make his voice heard. He's not the greatest writer, to say the least. ^.^;; Without me, this won't happen. I'm not going to stop until all 15 books are published. I know that's incredibly ambitious, but I think it's also good to have something really big to shoot for. For some reason, I don't feel overwhelmed by the idea. And that's part of what's keeping me going--a huge project like this doesn't scare me? What has happened to me?? I like having big projects, to be honest, and it's great that I have someone pushing me to continue working on it. And I can't even claim writer's block because the entire story has been determined years ago. XD There are some rough patches, but I'm really enjoying this, and if I don't get through all 15, then the readers are going to be left clueless about a LOT of stuff. I'm placing seeds for stuff that literally won't be explained until the penultimate or last book. It's becoming very important to do them all.

Congratulations! Can you share the title of the series or is that to remain a secret until it is published? I can understand since I haven't shared the title of my story yet. I'm still wondering if I should change it so I keep the title to myself.


I'm working on one series that I thought of in late 2004 and it's grown into 4 books now even though it was originally supposed to be just one. ONE! Darn this mind of mine... However, it is difficult for me to write it when I work 40 hr weeks and I'm mentally drained by the end of the day. It doesn't help that I spend more time thinking about the story than actually writing it. I guess I plan too much?

But since the beginning of this month, I've pushed myself to at least write a couple of pages every day. I will finish the first book within the year!
