I have written two novels (in Tagalog). I want to encode it but I lack time. It's a love story. Writing is my first love but since I don't have a personal computer, the novels are still handwritten, and kept. What will I do? I'm a working mom of 3, taking masteral degree course and tending pigs and chickens. Do you think I'm overworking? Will my novel ever get published?

In order to be writing that, you have to have access to a computer somewhere. So type up your novels in your spare time, polish and edit them. Will your novels ever get published? Well if you mean by a traditional publisher, then it's unlikely. If you've got tough skin and a will of iron, then go for it. Read up on the business (there's lots of books about publishing and writing, they have their own sections at libraries and bookstores) and give it your best shot. Like the person above me said, you can always self-publish.

Try self-publishing if you have the time. Maybe make 10 copies first. Then distribute them to friends and some publishers. Most great writers started with what your doing right now. And its good that you wrote it in tagalog, we Filipinos are very close knit when it comes to supporting each other. Try first in your community, they are the first available audience that you have. If they like it. Try to take it up to a higher step such as publishing and promoting. Find friends that support your ideas and I'm sure that the workload wouldn't be that daunting.
