Begining of the End
Well, I'm a high school senior now. After this year is over I'll be going off to college and leaving home. It's pretty scary. I'll have to start my own life, away from all of my family and friends. I'm still working on my first book The Last Dragon that I started in seventh grade. I really wanted it to be published before I went to college, but that is impossible. It's really hard for writers under the age of eighteen to get published. I submitted to a place that specializes in publishing under age writers but got rejected. So now I'm doing some serious editing before I try submitting to anyone else. I may have to wait untill March when I turn 18 to try and get it published. Sure I wont be able to put on my college applications that I got published before my 18th birthday, but I guess that is a sacrifice I will have to make if I want to be published at all. If anyone knows about any publishers that do accept teenage work and don't require an agent then please, please, please tell me. I'm very attached to the idea of getting atleast the offer of a publishing deal before I turn 18, so that I feel that I accomplished at least one thing before I am legally considered an adult. Oh and I've temporarily stopped work on The Sea Witch's Daughter due to lack of enthusiasm. I keep on beginning stories and end up not likeing them as much as I did when I started. All my attention in terms of creative writing is now split between The Last Dragon and my comic The Hunter Chronicles. Well that is all I have for now. I'll probaly write more when I leave San Deigo and return to Denver.
