why I became an Author.
I started writing my first story when I was in 5th Grade. I wrote a story about a boy who was afraid of shadows and there was a tree that made him scared. My classmate copied it and my teacher was searching on a book where we could have copied it but found out that it was not on the book.
I got into short story writing when I was in High school as it was part of the English subject. I got into writing my story that it turned into a Novella and unfortunately it was not included into the compilation of other short stories of my classmates because it was too thick. I got so much entertained in writing my story that I thought about turning it into a book series to add more adventures to my characters.
I only knew about self-publishing back then and had discontinued the project since it will cost me much just to publish it. I only wrote in paper instead of using the computer so I was not that really that motivated into continuing the project. My first Book plan was in 2nd year Junior High called ''Dark Science''. I thought of writing a book about the bad things about using science in the wrong ways, a compilation of short stories.
It only ended up as a plan and not be able to write the book but maybe in the future I would continue the project. In 20009, I have a thought of writing a book again when I got into writing on the forums of an avatar website called ''Gaiaonline.com''. I wrote a flash story about a little witch and thought about turning it into a book but self-publishing came to my mind and it would cost me money. So I did not continue with the idea for some reason that I don't remember.
in 2010 I was searching on Youtube some trailers of Harry Potter Movie ''The Half-Bood Prince'' and on the side-panel of videos I saw a documentary of J.K. Rowling entitled ''A Year in the Life''. I watched it and saw how a book is written and published, so I decided to try it. I wrote a sample of writing and send it to literary agents but sadly they all rejected it. Some literary agents were mean while others are nice. And that made me decide that self-publishing was the ideal way for me to get readers.
I first thought of just giving books away for free to libraries and those who can't afford a book. But I got into turning my story in an e-book and selling it myself on my website but I also found out about online self-publishing and that is where I end up.
