I have a wicked story for you! its about a one legged man who was burnt in a nuclear plant melt down and lost his leg. however it gave him night time vision and the ability to talk to insects. now the love of his life, jenna jane, was captured and forced to be dr bizzerko's kid's nanny. however our hero doesn't know this just yet. He doesnt find out until a cricket tells him later on in the story. For now all he knows is that she went to go visit her sisters in lake placid. |

AWESOME DUDE!!!!
HUGE congrats from me!!
This is the one day ideal dream for me. Would just LOVE to write fantasy novels... become a serious, legitimate name in the genre, the likes of Terry Goodkind, Robert Jordan, J.R.R. Tolkien, David (& Leigh) Eddings, Margarette Weis & Tracy Hickman, Jennifer Fallon, David Farland... etc etc etc
the list goes on... OH! And my my ABSOLUTE favourite author Michael Crichton... hahah...
Lofty dreams, likely never to happen, but would be so incredible if did.
So, honestly, I really feel excited for you and this development. Big step in the right direction, a start... ^5
I wish you much success with everything about this!!

i got a call from a major publishing house today, they bought 3 of my short stories and they offered me a book deal !! i should get a contract in the next 24 hours and before i do anything about it i have a couple of questions so im wondering does anybody here have any experience in dealing with these people
1. should i hire PR and try doing it all by myself? i did some research and it looks like they will offer me standard, one season deal and after that i may have option to buy back rights to my book. this bugs me a lot, i dont want them to rape my creation but at the same time i feel like i need to do this, just to get my name out there.
2. they asked me to make some changes to those 3 stories and thats ok, no big deal, plenty more where that came from. but i really dont wanna be too flexible when it comes to the book, what are your thoughts on that?
3. and this is the most important question. i already have the name of the book, always did. its a tribute to charles bukowski, one of the greatest writers/poets/drunks ever. the problem is, title of my books is the title of one of his books. now, i'd make it perfectly clear why would the title be the same but at the same time i fell iffy about it. what would you do?
lol, who would've guessed.
p.s. miss pie, remember them stories that you liked so much???? guess what???? LOOOOOL |
get a lawyer... dont do it yourself |
