And for a few brief moments, I feel like a winner.
Of course, the real novel will be about 80K when it's finished. And it will need extensive rewriting since a lot of it really sucks. I also won't be posting any more chapters for awhile. Some crazy crap about not giving it away for free if I'm gonna try to sell it. Sounds rather prostitutey, no?
Anyway, that's two in a row for me. YEAH!!
In other news, our belated Thanksgiving feast was hugely successful. We had seafood alfredo lasagne that was rich in tastiness. It is bad for the diet, but it's not like I eat it all the time. In fact, I'd only made it once before and it was before I met H. We also went shopping for all the Xmas baking stuff. I make H's family and some assorted friends plates of tasty snacks. This year it will be in leiu of actual gifts, so everything has to be extra yummy. And it shall be. And kids, it's the triumphant return of granola. And I've got one compound word for you: butterscotch. Not to be confused with Butters Stoch.

Gratz!
So now you are off to push it into all the writing contests right?
no subject
I don't know much about writing contests, nor do I have an agent, which probably adds to my overall non-publishment.

Go submit it to some ebook companies, get your foot in the door.
I don't even have agent. :(

I do have a smallish collection of rejection letters, but they all indicate that I'm just not making it out of the slush pile. I've gotten only one letter that even hinted that they looked it over. But I'm waiting to hear from 2 more places right now. At this point, I'd be happy to get a free critique.
I can safely say it will be a year or more before this new novel is ready to do anything with. I know a guy who has written 4 or 5 Sci Fi novels and can't get published. He's started recording them and releasing them as podcasts. it's pretty amazing stuff.

They do print too, but it starts as a ebook and if it sells well they'll print it. Mine went to print 6 months after the ebook was published.
The staff is great and get back to you quickly.
Hm, maybe I should become a ebook agent. (giggle)
