Congrats Tom! It sounds like we're in the same boat! (Well, your boat is fantasy-powered and mine in rowed by Vampires/Zombies). I've got the rough draft complete and am working on the "final" draft that I'll be sending out to publishers. I'm looking to be done by sometime in October as well. Good luck to ya!

Hello guys. I haven't been on this website for about a month and i've been stubborn and not looking at Jim's blog about how to write. I have even bought the book called /On Writing/ by Stephen King. But, until i feel the time is right(i might just be arrogant at the moment) i will not read anything. I have also decided that a very efficient way to write chapters is to definitively outline them. Oh! and Meg_Evonne. i'm glad you never did anything with the idea for a book i sent you. i have extraploated on the idea and the happenings and it is definitely going to be a WTF why did you do that?!?!?!? rage type of book that are going to keep people on edge. The idea i'm talking about is the one that seems like The Matrix. Hehee. Also, i have decided to wait until i am done with my second book(plot is set in alternate world in the past.) to publish them. That is the book that i'm setting the big money on. A scene i have (click to show/hide)is one that there is a person in a big war fighting scene where somebody is going to be speaking a very deadly and long spell, but before he/she finishes a badass assassin rips off their jaw, backhands them with it, and jams it into their throat, killing them. probably the a minor antagonist is going to be doing that. That scene is going to be epic. I'm trusting the people who read that spoiler to not rip me off, because i'm trying to do original things. its hard though. stupid being born after the whole Writing Books Of Fantasy craze went on in the last 100 years. grr.
I feel like i could ramble on for hours
Anyways, if anybody would like to talk to me i love to talk to people and i love friends even more. Lalalala...
Glad i'm only 16 though, i have a lot of time to be awesome and write books. Tralalalalaa...

Philliph, see. I told you so. Keep all your off hand ideas! You never know when they will decide to blossom into something interesting. Best wishes to you. The King, "On Writing" is on several websites with strong recs. I haven't read it yet, so let me know what you think when you do. Later.
Philliph:
Ahh, and i never realized this until a few months ago, but having aspiring writers as friends is very useful. You teach eachother A LOT. I, unkowingly, have been using techiniques that they never thought of. and likewise for them. Unfortunately though, they never slash and tear at my work when i need critiquing. Silly nice friends.
