I have had a major headache for the last two weeks.
So many bad things have been happening to me I feel not only physically exhausted but mentally too. I'm so upset it's interfering with my writing, which doesnt happen often but when it does it sucks.
Firstly my computer stopped working. My dad bought me a laptop for x-mas in 2008 and already it's broken. One day I was running late to catch the bus and forgot to put it up. Of course my little five year old sister didn't have to go to school that day and was so bored decided to go in and scratch up the screen. I couldn't even blame her for it because I'm the one who forgot to put it up. But believe me I felt like screaming.
Secondly, I lost my notebook. So not only have I lost all the stories I've written that were saved on my computer but I've lost all the information and character profiles. I feel like an idiot, I cant believe I didnt save anything to my flash drive..
Last, I've been missing school so much lately that I'm falling behind. My last science test I got a freaking D! A D for Pete's sake! I also missed a Civics test which I had to make up. Luckily I can crame really fast so I happened to pass that one with a 96. Oh how I love photographic memory!
Well, I think I'll go lie under the blankets in the dark and wollow in self pity for another day. I've replaced three chapters worth of writing in a week so I think I deserve a break, atleast for today....

Hey there Destiny, sorry to here you're not feeling well. Falling behind in school really suck huh?
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd answer the question you asked on my blog, sorry that I've taken a while to get back to you but I've been super busy with everything going on in my life.
Here's the thing about getting published. I won't need to sign any form of contract until the book comes out and the publishers see how it does sales wise. It takes a long time for a book to go from a word doc on your computer to a book on the shelves at Borders. For most books the wait is about a year and a half to two years. In some cases three years, but that doesn't happen very often. By the time any book by me comes out I'm be 18 or even 19. It's best to have a plan.
Have you researched getting an agent yet?
