uh sorry. i'm just REALLY mad about this. as you can probably tell. XD lol
um....please don't spoil it for me I might actually like it but because of your peer pressure I'll try to hate it too just to fit in oh just be quiet I'll be okay probably won't get to read it anyway because my library is so fricken weird and such....The End.
Oh, sorry. We're just basing this on the fact that the last one didn't turn out so well. The fifth book hasn't come out yet. I'm still going to read it, though. I'm just already in the mindset to not expect much.
How do you get a book published anyway? I'm not finished with my first story so I've only slightly looked into it. All I know is that you shouldn't write more than once tothe same publishing company about sending in parts of your story because that just makes them upset.

ummm ... so do you know what a query letter is?
well, an author came to my school, and apparently you're supposed to go to Publisher's meetings, send in a LOT of query letters all over your country. Or, find several small publishing companies, and try sending them there because they don't get as much entries.
yeah right? It's that complicated???
Seriously? Oh, wait no, never mind, it's not that complicated!
she said that she bought a book at Borders with the names and addresses of Publishing Companies all over the U.S. And that's where she got her information.
oh geeze, I'm never going to get a book published...
