  • she only said be realistic..keep trying, of course because it is all great practice,but don't give up if you dont get everything published. You know as well as I do that not everything you write will be published, honestly, but knowing that, keep going anyway.

  • Good advice, I don't find it negative in the slightest, it's just the truth. That life doesn't always get you what you want. And if your not prepared to handle a failure, you may never be able to pick yourself back up for a success

  • @MewRocks17: No, you submit it to all the other publishers that you think will accept it. If that doesn't work, then you start another novel.

  • dont break my heart Rebecca! just tell me what i want to hear. lol

  • she seems to be nice but sometimes her voice is annoying, must costs nerves to discuss with her when she gets angry ;)

  • if you don't get the book you write published does that mean you give up on that book you wrote and have to start a new one?

  • wut i f we have an agent?? Huh??

  • damn, you´re cute.

  • Thanks, I understand that =) I didn't know what to be in life, but now I know that I want to write. ( just turned 12 btw)

  • this is so true. Thats why alot do self publish. I got a book published but people like the secound one better. Those who have read it. So much so that I need to get an agent so I can get it to the right publishing house. The first one wasn't published by the greatest publishing house. And not all publishing houses will except what you have. I had trouble because of the content.
