You don't even know what published means...
Also you don't even know HOW to get a book published. It takes about 18 more MORE months for a common person to get a book published unless you are J K Rowling... -.- how are you so sure a common person like you can get 2 books published. Eh?

No, you don't know how hard it is to get something published. I knew this friend and back in 1999(yes...1999) he started writing a book and he finished in that same year and he finally got it published...in 2008....he didn't just send to 100 publishers but THOUSANDS...sorry but i forgot the name of the book. Its been a long time since i heard the name of the book.

So?  I'm a writer, I've written a book, but I don't expect to get published.

I'd hate for me to get published - Actually. I don't want to be interviewed in kids magazines.

Lay off people. Jeez. Your right, alot of books don't get published. But if you actually put work into it (Not the writing part) it becomes much more likely. For instance, if you meet the editor, you have a much better chance. Rather than just send a manuscipt, send a letter asking what would be best, along iwht a short synopisis of your story. Getting published is only hard because the majority just send their manuscript and wait. You have to be proactive about it.

Somelia, congrats on the completion of your book. I hope that it gets published, and that it does well. Could you post a small summary, so we can see what it is about?

I am currently working on a book myself. Started three weeks ago, shortly after christmas, and have so far written 10,000 words, or fifteen pages on Word.

Those question marks don't sound very convincing

Lol just joking
The book is called Honey Bee
Published 2008

I've done three, but they were lousy. Now I'm far better, and my goal is to comets a five-part group of books! 
Totalling approximately 1500 pages... >.<

It's going to take a while. 

Chrischb must be working very hard  . Smileys, books, projects, what next?

When I first read that, I saw 1500 words. I thought, thats not much for a five book series. Not even enough for one short story. Then I saw that it was pages. He must be working very hard. Good luck dude.    (Must add a Smiley.)

Sorry for this being off topic, but how's that pokemon game going?
