OH! Is that why you have premium membership now? I thought I saw that it was one of the prizes and I also noticed that you've got some new fancy titles and stuff^^ Neato, what an awesome prize! And you deserve it, my dear <3
By hand? o_o Wow, that's dedication for ya, but then again, that's how they did their books long before these newfangled word processors ;)
Thanks; though I don't know how near that future will be. I've gotta get myself to start/continue working on the rewrite, and then comes the editing. Yippee. BUT that'll get here when it gets here. I hope your works make it to shelves too.
I guess in a sense, you could think of books and story plots like wine or anything else that needs to ferment/age... the longer it sits, the better it'll be. Well, not in every case, but it sounds like it with your stories (after all, great ideas can go through many stages and rewrites; my brother's final story for his fiction class went through around 7 or 8 plot rewrites before the final version was completed!). I wish you the best of luck with your stories as well, and keep striving toward your dreams ^_^

Wow! 50+ pages typed, now that's a lot ;D
My friend used to write them out by hand, and she had close to 200 pages per book (as there was three). I really wish I had the stamina to even type out 10 pages XD It seems easy enough with fanfiction though...=3=
I look forward to seeing your works, possibly in the bookstore in the near future :D
For two of my stories, I've been plotting it since grade 7/8 and now I'm in university and never got it completed yet, but the plot has advanced so much more. Hopefully, I'll be able to post some of the art works (as I think I'm making this one into a graphic novel).
Let's keep pursuing our dreams as fellow writers! >D
Take cares~!
Neat! :) Right now, I've got a couple books planned, and they're along the lines of fantasy/adventure. I have at least two drafts started... I got really far in one of them, but then I redid the plot so I'm gonna have to take what works from the one version and work it into the new draft... and considering my first draft was close to 53 pages in Microsoft Word, that may take a while ^_^U

Thank you very much!
Best of luck to you as well~~ :D
Hmm, well as of now, I have six different story lines plotted out (not sure which ones will be manga/novel yet). But I have adventure, fantasy, mystery, action, and historical fiction. :3 Do you know what gene your work will be?
Take cares,

That's a great dream to have ^_^ I know I'd like to publish a book someday, too; but this was a creative way to draw this dream. Best of luck to you :)
If I might ask, which genre do you plan on going into?
I hope so too. I find that I often start something, and then loose inspiration =3= I just need to work harder! >D Thank you for saying that, I really appreciate it~!
And I'll need some luck! ;D
Take cares,
Thank you! >3< I really appreciate your feedback! ^_^/
I still have a lot to improve, such as outlining...I didn't dare try it on this picture XD Hopefully once exams are through, I shall practice more! >D
Take cares,
