Guest Post: Malakai M. Mohica

Malakai is a guest from Write On, a blog for teen writers and teen readers.

I invited teens from Write On to share why they write, participate in NaNoWriMo, and what they plan to do with their manuscripts and their writing in the future. (With Parental Consent from my under 18 guests)

Adult romance huh? That'd be an interesting niche to get into.

I'm 19 years old, a college student attending CSUN, a Creative Writing major, and have plans to hopefully start my own freelancing company by the time I graduate. I'm passionate about writing, and I've been freelancing for almost a year now, I've definitely gained a lot of experience and learned a lot in that time. I want to be able to write for a living, but I know that most writers can't make ends meat publishing fiction so that's why I'm focusing so hard on starting up a company of my own. I've got a number of book ideas, and I'm going to use NaNoWriMo to motivate myself to buckle down and bang one out, regardless of school, job, or freelancing – no excuses. I want to start a NaNoWriMo support group at CSUN, I'll be attending the kickoff in L.A., and I know there's a bunch of L.A. writers who meet every Monday at Denny's that I've been meaning to meet up with. As for what I'll do with the novel – I'll probably sit on it for a while, all proud of myself for finally writing it, and then I'll take a hacksaw to it and make it shine. Then I'll submit it to publisher's and try and use the few connections I've made to my advantage! But even if I don't get my first one published, I know it's not the end of the world – Stephen King didn't get his first one published until years after he'd made it big. All you can do is keep your head up and keep on writing, and then die. haha, just kidding
