Okay I'm uber-happy right now! So, I'm in a writing collaboration group with about 4-6 young authors (all between the ages of 13-21, I think) and we're working on an urban fantasy novelette. Well, our writing mentor (a published author! Whoo!) emailed us all last week saying that something was possible... Yesterday I got the okay to tell everyone... WE'RE GETTING PUBLISHED!!! AHHHHH!!! I'LL OFFICIALLY BE A FREAKING PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!! The novelette is due out sometime in the next 8-13 months in 2011 and will be a benefit book, meaning that 100% of the profit will go to some charity that we decide on! We're having a professional artist come in and do the front and back covers and EVERYTHING! I'M SO FLIPPIN' EXCITED!!! MY DREAM IS FINALLY STARTING TO COME TRUE!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!

Thanks! Well, it's urban fantasy and it's about a girl named Selena who kind of gets thrown into her destiny, so to speak, that's in another world... I don't want to give too much away Haha.

THAT'S FREAKING SWEET!! My dream from about 7th to freshman year was to be published. I actually had good ideas and still have a good writing style (I write different in stories than I do when I write like...well, this), but I could never really finish a story well. Then skating came along and my dream was to skate professional. Still riding that dream. Well all I have to say is it better be a hit internationally. Then I can pick up a copy when it comes out.

I KNOW, RIGHT?! ;D Haha, thanks! I'm the same way - I write differently when I'm writing a story then if I'm talking to someone online, or something Good luck with your dream! Haha. Everyone can buy it on amazon when it comes out Considering that it'll only be a novelette I doubt it'll be a hit internationally :/ BUT, BUT BUT, this opens up publishing doors for me So hopefully I'll be able to publish a book that WILL be a hit internationally!
