Have you ever tried to write a novel or story to be published. Have you ever had a book or short story published. I always wanted to and have started three books I seem to get stuck at the middle of the story. I'll still plug at it and hopefully some day will be anouncing a book release at some point.

I hope someday i can finish at least one of them it gets frustrating getting stuck. I should let someone read it and see what they think and give ideas on finishing it. I am afraid they won't like it and then why would I want to finish it then. Fear of rejection really isn't a nice fear.

Fear of failure should not let you down bcos even gr8 people like Galileo and Newton have been initially rejected .... writing is your own expression , it is your own creativity ...... feel free to exhibit it .. you have the freedon write your heart out ... take pointers frm people who knows bat the good practices of writing .. Being optimistic and not giving up will surely help you to bring out your novel.. all da best !

I would like to write a few books for adults and a ton of children's books. Right now I am working on drawing up my first children's book and am hoping to get that done by the end of the year and sent out at the start of next year. I would love to have it published by the end of next year...not sure if that is overly optimistic or not. I do, however that is my hope. The ideas I have for adult books will take a lot more work.

Don't give up on it, whatever you do. I'm sure ideas will spark eventually. :) I have written four novels and I am published. Self-published, that is, on a website called Lulu.com. And I'm pretty dang proud of it. :) Don't give up on your novels, Corimore! We'll probably hear about you soon. :D

I always wanted to publish a book also, I get it started or sometimes I never know how to start it and sometimes I give up.
