Author In Progress
Panda - Chan:
My name is Jasmine, but my Pen Name is Panda - Chan.
I write about all sorts of topics, but mainly dark fantasy. I rarely ever write science fiction, but I would be willing to give it a try.
Most of my stories involve action/violence, romance, and adventure and probably mystery. I make up new races and write about younger characters that are going through hardships and difficulties.
Also, do not get me mixed up with Stephanie Meyer, I hate Twilight and if I write about vampires there is going to be more blood sucking.
My goal is to find a publisher before I'm 16, so I'm trying very hard to finish a legible book and find a publisher.

Hi my name's Matt i'm nineteen years old and a hopefully up-and-coming author. For the past couple years i've been writing this novel that i don't even have a name for yet lol. granted it's my first attempt at a novel i want to hit it home the first time, but i feel that it won't happen right away. I'm trying to create a medieval fantasy world. Jim's books, namely the Codex Alera, have inspired me greatly and I can't wait for april by the way Jim :). Anyway The book is very adult orientated and once it's done i'm going to have to go back through and rewrite some of the battle scenes so that they're not as gory as I have them out to be right now. really the reason i joined this forum is to get some brainstorming feedback because i'm stuck on a few key points that are keeping me from completing the novel. Granted it's short right now but I found i like to think about the beginning and the end of the book, how i want to start it and where i want it to be before it's done. And then I'll fill in everything else as I go. Sounds like a bad way of writing for me but it works i suppose. Any help would be appreciated :)

Welcome and whatever works. I've heard that it isn't until the 6th novel that most authors hit a publishing contact--so enjoy the process and keep your brain humming. There is always the novella of about 20,000 words as an option as well.
Did you find JBs writer's blog? If not, when you first click in, look to the right of the forum button and Jim's blog or something like that. He's got a great 'swampy middle' section.
And enjoy the site!

Y'know what cemented for me that I'll never be able to quit my day job, even if I sell a few books? Tanya Huff still has to work a day job. How many books does she have out now? I've read all of them, and loved most of them. Scary.

which is why writing for your own pleasure is a vocation not a career for what-- 90% of novel writers?
