Just Finished Writing "Book"/Thing

Post Reply New Topic

I just finished writing a story I have been unable to get out of my head since last Halloween!
It's a story involving a shape shifting guy, who becomes a vampire, discovers he is gay, they have to raise kids, etc. (not giving anything else away). Anyway, just needed to get it out b/c I cannot decide what to do with it? It's 167 pages, with 55,319 words (is it a book, novella, short story or what?) I have other ideas to build onto it (kind of like a short series). But I think my writing style makes the stories to short to be novels, but too long for short stories or other formats. I like it a lot, but my grammar abilities/editing are not too good . What should I do with it?

p.s. Every time I get a notification someone has posted to something I have occasionally blogged/posted, my comp. won't let me use the link through my e-mail & (b/c I'm a comp. moron) don't know how to get back to it otherwise after I log off/back on later. I know pathetic .

are you talking about the Blog Feature on WP?

I have several comments on mine I have not been able to see for YEARS! I finally just abandoned it. PM Lau, he is the Admin, perhaps he can see how to open the comments.

You wrote a 167-page book? That's amazing!

If you want to send it to me, then at some point I might do some grammar editing. I can't promise anything, though.

Thanks

And yes I am asking about the WP blog feature...

Peko: Awesome! You're really talented & there's quite a few gifted authors on WP. For ex: the Inventor! And more.

You could ask others here who are authors about editing, etc - they'll know. Do you have a Professor/instructor/teacher that can mentor you with your writing? Keep up the writing.... Then you'll have an audience! Fan club?

I hope the technical glitch w/ your blog will be resolved soon. lau is a wizard with I.T.

So...where do the blogs go? The Bermuda Triangle of Wrong Planet cyberspace

55 thousand words is a novella. They are tough to sell. Write another, smoosh them together, and you'll have a novel.
I'm willing to look at the first chapter if you will tell me what you want me to do with it.

Peko,
what about bit torrenting it,if are not getting it put into paper-book form?
this is what am doing with a book if it ever gets finished as do not have the language skills for paper form[about growing up and living with autism,was asked to do it by care managers and LD nurse].

Peko: Maybe someday you can publish that novella. KingdomOfRats: If you ever wrote/published, I would read your book! I hope someday you will; you have so much to offer.
