Apparently that's not the whole story so that's why I can't just copy and paste it into Word and Word Count it myself

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: I am going to Publish a book!!!

You shouldn't have to give descriptions of the characters. A decent book should explain the personalities of the characters INDIRECTLY.

Re: I am going to Publish a book!!!

It sounds very interesting, but why would you want teens? I know you might think thy will like it better but I am ten (and a half) and the plot sounds very interesting I would love to find out what happens. You should try to get it published in your country and another country near and then try to go on. I have noticed most people don't seem to understand that this is not the start of the book but only a small little review just to show what it is about, so if you have edited the first chapter or so, so we can see what it is like.
I am also writing a book and am very interested in getting to know other authors that shall hopefully go through the same line. So I have a few questions; How old are you?  How lon is your book in words/pages?  Is anybody else working with you?

Why are you saying sorry? We never developed an emotional attachment to the old him, but we did to the fact that you weren't giving female teens a reader replacement/that you didn't have a female character.

that was just for scratch, the characters are completely revealed over time in the book, but this was a preview so i just put it in.

I need to fix this record! it'snot done, it uses short chapters, but there are plenty, so instead of ten long-ish ones, i'll have twenty, short ones! Not done yet, i'll tell how many words when i'm done with this book.
