Gray Marie Cox I self-published first through Amazon and then through Lulu.com. I do wish I had waited though, I feel like my other books, unfortunately, fall into the category of bad indie books. However, I was (and still am, lol) rather young.
Gray Marie Cox Well, as for progress it is going smoothly, but it's hard to say when I'll be done writing the first draft since I'm not a plotter. Hopefully soon though if life doesn't get in the way too much!
I plan on self-publishing it, but I hope to recruit beta readers beforehand and maybe hiring an editor. However, I'm not exactly sure how it will all go down, since this is my first serious work. :)
Gray Marie Cox If it's something you're passionate about, do it. Write. Write. Write!
And never delete any of your old stories, no matter how bad. When you're older you'll want to look back at what went through your mind. ^_^
Gray Marie Cox I don't. I'm kind of off writing during the school year, and I only write on weekends and half of the time that never happens because my brother plays basketball. :/

I'm trying to get better at balancing things, but adjusting to high school is hard, so I sort of took the school year off aside from outlining and blogging.
Gray Marie Cox Getting to know my characters, it's so mind-blowing to watch their personalities grow as I write. I always feel very close to them, like they were real people instead of just words on a screen.
Gray Marie Cox Due to school I haven't been able to work on my WIP as much as I'd like, but I am enjoying the different range of personalities my characters have. It's a lot of fun to write.
Gray Marie Cox My phone buzzed in my pocket again, I sighed pulling it out and looking down at the screen... my breath caught in my throat, "You have ten missed calls from Mom," the screen's cheerful font read, I've lived a good life.
