[[deleted user]]

Okay so this is like really wierd, but like last year in April I wrote an e-mail to the author of The 13th Reality, James Dashner, and a year later he e-mailed me back! He might even take a look at my story!
I think that's amazingness! XD

[Seth, The plan is simple--stay alive.]

OMGSH! I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE JAMES DASHNER! hee hee you should send my story too and tell me what he thinks :D

[Seth, The plan is simple--stay alive.]

I just realized that James goes through tons of publishers. diff publishers for jimmy fincher, 13th reality, and for "maze runner"

[Sella, ov vey! i haven't checked this group in months. ><]

OMG THATS AMAZING!!! I ENVY YOU CALI!!!!!

[T.O.L.I.]

WOH!!!!! CALI!!!! thats amazing!!!!!

[Brigid ✩]

cool!!!

[[deleted user]]

I know! It's nuts!!! Lolz Seth, idk. Idk if he'll even read mine . . .

[T.O.L.I.]

lol

[Brigid ✩]

i'm always too self-conscious to email authors ... i feel guilty; they're probably weighed down with emails from ppl going "CAN YOU READ MY BOOK?? PLEEEEEEASE???" sooo ... yeah. oh well. maybe i should start. >< i'm not getting much progress in the publishing world. *sigh*

i might start self-publishing though. if i self-published a book, would you guys buy it? just out of curiosity ...

[[deleted user]]

Brigid, it wouldn't matter if you self-published or got it professionally done. I would buy it the first day it came out. At midnight. You're that amazing of an author.

[Paige]

i would too!

[Sella, ov vey! i haven't checked this group in months. ><]

omg brigid r u kidding?!?! you don't even has to ask!! you should KNOW that i would always buy your book, no matter WHAT kind of publishing it was of!!!

[T.O.L.I.]

I WOULD BUY IT!!!!! *jumps up and down*

[Veronica, What the neck!?]

I don't even pay attention to weather books are self published or published by a massive company. I really don't. I mean, they are books, right? They contain a story, right? Yes? Well, then I'll read them.

[[deleted user]]

yeah, me too!

[Sella, ov vey! i haven't checked this group in months. ><]

ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[T.O.L.I.]

weeee!!

i agrre with u roni

[Veronica, What the neck!?]

The only time that I even look at the copyright page (where the publisher's info is) is if I'm citing a book, and then it's usually a reference of some sort, and not fictional.

[T.O.L.I.]

lol

[Brigid ✩]

heehee
okay well maybe i will attempt some self-publishing then. i was thinking about self-publishing Reborn, once i'm done editing it ...

[T.O.L.I.]

that would be SO cool! i never even read the whole thing *sigh*

[Brigid ✩]

>< well i'm almost done editing it ... almost. i still have fifty pages left to edit. and it keeps getting longer. gah.

[T.O.L.I.]

lol.....i have a friend whos editing their story...and i know they HATE it...i have never actually edited any of my writing...lol teehee *D

[Brigid ✩]

i usually kinda hate my own stories ... but actually, i love Reborn. idk why. it's weird. O.o

[T.O.L.I.]

lol....i love all of my...ONE....thats the only one i have completed...and freeze is awesome

[[deleted user]]

I'm. Sick. Of. Editing. My. Story.

I swear it's the book I've ever read more than once in my entire life. I mean, I've read it like 10 times! And each time I make a change!!!

[T.O.L.I.]

i know someone else who got an email from him!!! (someone special... hee hee ;) )

[[deleted user]]

This time around, (the 11th time) I'm shortening the chapters. Once again.

[T.O.L.I.]

err...i would HATE that

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, I am so sick of it. After this stuff is done, i'm going to apply to a few publishing companies, and if they turn me down, I'm just going to put it away for awhile.

[T.O.L.I.]

good idea....*D

[T.O.L.I.]

good idea....*D

[[deleted user]]

yeah, i figured that was my best option.

[T.O.L.I.]

*sigh*

haha! i know the feeling. i could probably recite specific scenes from my books from memory. lol!!!

[[deleted user]]

lolz me too!

[Paige]

oh God.

[[deleted user]]

Guess what?


I e-mailed Neal Shusterman.


And guess what?



he e-mailed back. but he didn't answer my question which was stupid. And he actually read the e-mail personally, but didn't answer my question, which was stupid. And if you e-mail him, and ask him to read your stories, he won't. He answered that question.
But he didn't answer my question on advice to get published! sheesh!

[Brigid ✩]

awwww that sucks :(
i luv neal shusterman though ...

[[deleted user]]

I know. grr.

[T.O.L.I.]

well ... it's understandable, though. authors get a lot of emails saying "please read my story!!" they get tired of it. it sucks, but that's the way it is. *sigh*

YAY!! that would be SOO cool!!! i'd buy a copy and cherish it forever, and keep rereading and rereading and rereading it. and i'd buy copies for all my friends and say "You HAVE to read this or DIE!!!" XD
