Then, I started coming here in the 7th grade and wanted to become a writer/producer for TV shows.

Now I'm working on a novel and think it would be cool to do that for a living...but the chances of that....lol.

I'm in college now, so I have some time to decide.

What kind of novel are you working on?

It's a mystery/suspense/crime sorta novel. I'm not too far in though right now, only about 5,500 words. Which isn't a bad start, but nowhere close to the end lol.

Thanks. It's a lot of fun to do, but a pain sometimes because it's so time consuming! It would be sweet to get it published one day. But the odds in that...lol.

^ You never know...besides, I'd read it!

FOLrocks1 · 03-13-2009, 11:01 PM

That's the great thing about the internet. Who needs publishers? Just post it on the internet and people will read it. Of course...there won't be any money made, but if you're in it for creativity's sake then it's a good deal.

I've recently discovered this site for people's original work. It's set up just like fanfiction.net, only anything can be posted there. http://www.fictionpress.com/

Yeah I could always do that...but how nice it would be to make some money....hahah.,

ohh, I forgot director. I was directing plays I wrote for awhile from about age 8-10, with my sister and cousin as the actors.

You could also consider self-publishing it.

I know of 2 people who self-published their own books through lulu.com. The fee varies, depending on how long it is and what not, it's a few $100 at least.
