Has an idea ever just struck you while watching the movie?

Oh, I got hints of it before this, but it all came together in my head. I find it funny because it came at me something like how it came to Jack Canfield when he was taking a shower. I was watching the visualization part, feeling good and loving and peaceful and all the stuff they were talking about and it just hit me. I have the whole series planned and wrote in my head right now.

Now to find a publisher.

Yeah that is like the hardest part. Writting a book is really hard and all but finding a publisher is just as hard. With so many rejections and stuff, it's just heartbreaking. I haven't started finding a publisher yet but I'll probably need to buy a lot of tissues for when those rejection letters come rolling around.

Believe it or not, I still have my first rejection letter for a series I was doing about a time traveling kid that also incorporated learning about history. I was going to hit on all the different events of life, but they rejected it. And I still have it.

I was devastated when I got it of course, but now... It is kind of a fond memory and a learning experience. The best way to get a book published is to get an agent. Simply put.

I have no idea if agents need paid up front or if they work for commission.

It sounds like it would have been a really cool series. I don't know if you have heard about Janet Evanovich but she wrote a book about how she got started. I started a discussion about it. Check it out she gives some good tips and recommendations. Most agents get paid a fee of what you earn. Her book talks more about it. I think it's called How I write by Janet Evanovich.

I will have to look that up. Maybe at the library.

I do something along those lines. If I don't write it down, I ask God to remind me about it when I get near the computer. Hasn't failed yet.
