:hi:

I really want to write something. Either my film essay or my WIP and maybe if I do start the latter this whole spell of not-writing will end.

I'm actually about to go back to my first novel...because some of my old readers are telling me they'd buy it if I self-pubbed it. So I'll go ahead and do that after I improve it.

Ah ok. Well good luck with it! Rewrites are a pain in the ass but worth it!

I actually don't have to rewrite! Yay! I was looking at the wrong copy of LL. The newer copy is fine.

Well that's good. From the one beta that has been getting back to me I'm worried i might have to rewrite parts of my first book .... again. Apparently my length is a problem.

Thing is alot of her comments i'm trying not to worry about because when the big twist is revealed i'm hoping she will see why i wrote some of those parts in. Still i worry.

They all are very very long. Hell the series alone is going to be 13 books! But i keep hearing from alot of people that my first book cant go over 100K absolute max. Its 125K as of right now.

Thing is. My first book needs to be long because of its complicated plot.

What do you guys think about self-publishing e-books? And is 40,000 words enough for a YA Fantasy novel?
Ugh I hate sundays.
