Congrats on finishing your book Skull!  :cheers:

The magician longs to see
One chance opts between two worlds
Fire walk with me

:teddyr: Are you gonna try to get it published ?

Yes... :)

I'm not sure how at this point.

Right now I'm going to take a week break on my book (refresh my thoughts ~ before rereading it as a whole) during this time I'll be brainstorming ideas for another book.

Approach an agent I suppose  :smile: Let us know if it'd get published, I'd be interested in reading it. :tongueout:

Many thanks!!! I'll let everybody know when I'm at the final phase of the book.

I'm starting my next book project... Revenge Taste Very Sweet, My Love

I'm shooting for a short story about 100 to 200 pages and hopefully it doesnt take as long as my first book.

Congrats man!  Best advice is to approach an agent.  If you don't care about making a lot of money or are realistic about your prospects, you could always self-publish, it's easy nowadays.  Just look into Amazon's CreateSpace or something similar.

Thanks... I was away from the message boards because I was pushing the book... :)

I was hearing stuff about ebooks (I'm assuming its just a pdf file that people can download) but I'm not sure if its a right idea, or its that simple. Actually I tried not to think about selling it until I know I'm 100% finished. Right now I feel 95% because I need to reread it and adjust if necessary.

As for making money I NEED the cash and its intended for sale... I also think my book will change zombie stories in general [trust me the book is takes zombie stories at a new level]. Although the nature is very adult, I could see video games spawing from Javanese's flashback story.

Still happy that I wrote my first book... :)

You want to make money, then get an agent.  It's pretty hard---nearly impossible---to make significant money as a novelist, though.  Sure, the top 1% pull in megabucks, but the top 10% don't.  I've known many talented novelists who've published multiple books but can't afford to quit their day jobs.  You'll probably do better from a sequel or second book, if the first is a hit.  Good luck.

Eating a rice crispy treat. I made some a little while ago and they are delicious. I cut up a chocolate bar and sprinkled it on top.  :thumbup:
