    Hi Marcy,

    I actually have a published poetry book that was released April 2011. Currently, I am working on both two books simultaneously -  fiction and compilation poetry. Yes, it is a lot of writing and it would be great to have more free time to draft as much as I want to (working a full-time job and the Navy Reserves takes up a lot of time); however, I am going to keep pushing yikes)

    Are you currently working on a book or two?

      Forget about being good enough. No writer starts at the top of his game. Try writing a short story and see if you can get some interest in that. Join a local writer's club.

    Marcy Goodfleisch, I have already written a novel. My problem is I don't know where to publish. I have tried traditional publishers but there is no hope, they are saying it is good but can not publish. I am thinking of trying online publishing but I don't know how it works and where to start.

    1. Marcy Goodfleisch profile image83
      Marcy Goodfleischposted 11 years agoin reply to this

      I think any type of writing is a good foundation for a book - it gives you practice, both in composition, accuracy and speed.  Then, I think the challenge is keeping those creative channels separate in your mind, so you can switch gears.  Go for it!

  10. GoodLady profile image92
    GoodLadyposted 11 years ago

    Yes and I began my book last winter but shelved it since publishing is not easy.  In fact getting a book published is probably more challenging than writing a book.  I didn't want to write a whole book and then have it sit on a shelf.
    Using the internet to publish a book became the obvious choice, over traditional publishing (through finding/never finding an agent)  - and I knew nothing about it.  So I applied to go on the HP Apprenticeship Program to learn how to be an online writer. 
    As you did, I see.  I'm learning a lot on the program (!) and hope to put the knowledge to good use when I start my book again.
    It's a book I really want to write - and it isn't a secret anymore.

    Many. The particular one I'm writing now is about . . . you guessed it, water. The rain cycle, actually, and how humans have messed it up and can therefore straighten it up again, once we know what we did. Some of my hubs are from the book. As with one or two other commenters above, I figure I'm writing a portfolio right now on HP.

  13. tsmog profile image85
    tsmogposted 11 years ago

    Yup. I have two started and one being researched for many years now. I think when that day of writing occurs I will seek out a reputable agent. They will surely know the in-n-outs with or without fries, just kidding. Yet, at my age I will not have time to learn the secrets to getting published. An agent who is busy will not want to put forth an effort on what s/he cannot market. Then comes the dart board if there is no interest or willingness on their part for risk.

    1. Marcy Goodfleisch profile image83
      Marcy Goodfleischposted 11 years agoin reply to this

      Let us know how that works - I'm sort of leaning toward the ebook thing, after dealing with agents and publishers in a different context.  But it would be so awesome if you could get published!

    Five years ago, I started a novel based on an unusual female ancestor during the Civil War. However, I realized that although it was a good story, that is all it was.  It didn't have a gimmick, and unless you have a gimmick or a mystery, the book isn't going to sell and I was just wasting my time. What this woman did during the war was an unusual twist itself, but I've got to think of a way to present it as a real far-out adventure before I work on it any more.

    1. Rod Marsden profile image67
      Rod Marsdenposted 11 years agoin reply to this

      I think you are wrong in looking for a gimmick or a mystery. Are there any gimmicks or mysteries in Gone with the Wind? If the characters are solid and people can relate to them that is a good start. No guarantees some far-out adventure will sell.

      What a great inspiration, though, and it would be a wonderful story.  How about if you start adding things that come to mind after you ask yourself, "What if . . . ??" and throw a few obstacles in the life of the main character, to develop the plot?

    I actually decided to do so this week. The only obstacle is not letting my ego get in the way and to stop thinking so damn much. Anyone worries about finding a publisher who hasn't yet written the book is being ridiculous. My plan is to complete an outline (which is nearly done) and then set a word count goal per week (probably around 1,500 words). At that rate, I should have a decent-sized rough draft for a non-fiction book within 6 months. Then, I will begin editing and destroying huge portions of it until it becomes a highly polished turd. Cheers!

    Rod Marsdenposted 11 years ago

    I have three novels I am proud of out there. They are published through Night to Dawn. First there was Disco Evil, then Ghost Dance and, most recently, Desk Job.
    Disco Evil is a vampire novel set in the days of the disco. Is there evil in the disco? With vampires running around, you bet!

    Ghost Dance is a dark fantasy quest novel. A young man who does not wish to be a werewolf must travel from Australia to Germany in order to break the curse. His main adversary is a modern day wizard keen on creating a plague using the blood of the man-beast.

    Desk Job is my salute to Lewis Carroll. Instead of Alice in Wonderland there is Sarah in Office-land. Various office worker types are represented as certain types of creature. There is the praying mantis who makes sure that the rules and regulations are adhered to. The whimpy dung beetle tends to follow the praying mantis around. Then there's the mule who does most of the work, the butterfly who just looks pretty, and the moth who was once a butterfly. The not so pretty moth has developed her own ways of staying employed and also avoiding work. The hawks are in charge of seeing that the workers work and new contracts are negotiated. And above them all is the caterpillar with his water pipe and sleepy attitude. In the story there are mules that rebel against both the rules and regulations and also against the laziness of the butterflies and moths.

    http://bloodredshadow.com/about/night-t … /desk-job/

    Right now I am thinking of writing a kind of sequel to Desk Job I tentatively call Egyptian Walk.

    Sometime down the track I would love to write a book about my grandfather. He came out to Australia from England and may have been the original Pommy Jackaroo (Jackaroo is a male cowboy and a Jillaroo is a female cowboy). He had his choice of going back to England and joining up when war broke out or joining up in Australia. He became part of the Australian light horse. Possibly the last successful horse charge in history was performed by the Australian light horse. After WW1 he returned to Australian and became an Australian citizen. There is a lot more to the story and I think it is a story worth telling but it will require a lot of research.

    I've written several. One has been published -- science fiction: "Touch the Stars: Emergence," co-authored with John Dalmas.

    I'm in the process of writing several others. I've written a sequel to the above science fiction novel, "Touch the Stars: Diaspora." The final draft is still in progress.

    I've also written another novel, "The Edge of Remembrance," historical science fiction. I've been meaning to rewrite it to add an intriguing subplot.

    I've also written 2 different rewrites of a non-fiction book, "The Bible's Hidden Wisdom: God's Reason for Noah's Flood." I'm about 10% through with the third rewrite.

    And I have a non-fiction book on my research on Atlantis, "Mission: Atlantis."

    Plus, I have dozens of ideas for other novels -- mostly science fiction. Some day...

    It is nice to browse over the dreams of other writers, some with books already published, others with books churning inside to be brought out. I wish you all the best!

    In the short times of taking a breath between life adventures, I have written enough for a book, or a trilogy.

    Looked over it today, a 150 - 200 page collection of short stories and stories in verse, which I gathered in 2008. The writing style is unbearably stiff in places but the stories are, well, what can I say, they are my stories. What someone else sees in them....

    I feel it is worthwhile to re-write the stories and breathe new life into them. For example, there are several from our magical time in Hawai'i, where we went with $500 each and stayed for three years, always supported by the Universe.

    In the Hawaiian years, I opened up to begin writing poetry and experienced one revelation after another. As I tend to be abstract and ethereal, Kati suggests combining the writing with subjects like the coffee houses of the islands and how to make pineapple smoothies to bring it down to earth.

    Hubs, first, then a book?

    Thank you for asking!

    Yes!  Actually I've written a book and it is currently being edited by a friend.  I'll need to go back through and make the corrections before I self-publish it. 
    It's the first of a series I'm working on.  Fantasy fiction. 

    I'm getting pretty antsy waiting for her to finish up.  I really want to get it out there already smile 

    I am currently in the beginning phases of the second book.  It will most likely take me a year or so to complete it to the point of being ready for editing. 

    Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be a writer.  I guess I already am in a way, but I want to be a published author ~ to get specific smile 
    Hopefully people like my work & I do really well with it.  This first series is only the beginning of what stories are locked inside this brain of mine.
