One step closer to publication.

I am sort of a perfectionist, and I need another draft before my novel is ready. I usually tend to write on it in the evenings as that is when my brain is working better. I am goof at stories, but tend to leave out details and the back story, so one character suddenly shows up. Also I am bad at math so since it is a fantasy novel on another planet, have to figure out how long the character took to leave one place to another and oops forgot that he had to stay at the inn, eat something, wash his horse, and visit his friends and that took much longer then just going from one city to another. etc. Also I have to make some money to pay for the things online, so maybe I can only write for half an hour a day. Good luck on your novel. How many drafts did you do and did you change the direction from one draft to another?

Congrats, that is exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. I am doing horrible on my NaNO, first too many distractions from my family, and then I got real sick. I am still not feeling that good, but I don't know if I will be up to trying, but I guess I'll see later on today if I am up to writing more. Thanks for the update, can't wait until you are published..;)

It is really nerve-racking to be waiting for "judgement day" on anything. But having reached that point, it is quite an accomplishment already. So, just hang in there and think positive. In my case, I probably won't be able to stand the waiting period so I've decided to self-publish through Amazon.com. Hopefully, this decision will give me more control of the process.

I hope your novel gets published. When I was a kid, I thought of writing a story but never really imagined getting it published. I know i'm not a good writer. I have a very creative imagination though but it's not that unique. I like to create stories in my mind but I've never put them into writing at all. Hope to hear some good news from you soon.

that sounds like exciting news. its funny, i have recently been active on helium, and they want people to rate other user's writings, by comparing two pieces of writing, and a few times I have read something written by someone where the grammar may not be perfect but the writing is much better and more interesting than that of the technically better written article. so hopefully you will have an interesting well written novel that keeps an editor in full time employment, which is probably how it should be.

Congratulations! I'm sure your anxiously awaiting their decision. The waiting is the hardest part. I wish you the best of luck. Do you have any hints to share?
