I'd settle for a nickle.

I've been writing for over ten years. It started with a couple of really horrible novellas in middle school that will never see the light of day. I have a dozen different stories laying around in various states of completion and I tried to publish my own horror comic for a while but it all ended up stuck in limbo over some issues with my artist.

I have a friend who used to be a literary agent who's generouslly offered to represent me, only I looked over my latest work and noticed that there wasn't a "plot" perse. Just a bunch of action scenes randomlly strung together. So I'm now doing a massive rewrite.

That said the stuff in Jim's blog has been majorlly helpfull. I wish there was a decent creative writing program in my area I could get into.

So I've set the goal for myself of being done with my rough draft this year.

BobSkull:
Same here. My debut novel should be done somewhere around September, and the total words should be around 100,000.

Hi my name is Josh and I'm an aspiring author (obviously).

I'm working on two novels bother of them pretty much still being outlined.

The first one is traditional fantasy, the idea was sparked by a lot of fantasy roleplays on various sites, most of which I'm glad that I can't remember. I've been writing for about five or six years and the idea for this story has been nagging me for about 3.5 years. It's basically about a war for freedom where the slaves rise up and try to take down their masters because they can no longer stand how they have been treated for the past four hundred years and remember what it was like to be free. It's about the sacrifice of the main character who is leading the slaves into battle. (It's written in the third person)

The second one is an urban fantasy novel that was sparked, rather ironically, by the Dresden Files. It centers around a pyromancer, yep, you read that right. I'm a pyromaniac so I figured that I might as well have as much fun with my character as possible. Basically my character is looking for a Wizard to take him as an apprentice and train him- specifically in the area of emotional control- so that he can become a full Wizard. His main talents are- of course- in the fire elemental but he had other strong areas too. Basically he's just your average kid until he's arrested for burning someone to death. During the book he tries to prove his innocence and find out who framed him, all while trying to find a master.

Rashad 117:
Eh, writing one myself and I should be done by late October early November.
Hmm, to sum it up quickly. It's fantasy/horror and there's some action and hot monkey love in it too with actual monkeys. But minus the feces throwing.
