shouldn't that be "Your's Truely". It's possessive case, right?

you need a proofreader. :)

and congrats. Good writing is extremely difficult

It is good to see a good book can still be written without mentioning peewee's and weewee's and vaginas and boobies.

Wow Angel_Luv I am impressed! I love to see people use their creativity rather it be books .movie scripts,art, or comedy. I stop doing all of the above but now you have inspired me to continue. I have some really good books to be written but the ghost writers online want 3,500.00 before they even look at my stuff. I hope your link can get me started back on that road. I wish others here at ST did the same. I see lots of talent on a daily basis around here.

Congrats once again Angel_Luv! I like the fact your not afraid to use your talent you have been blessed with and I hope you showcase more! :toast

No offense, but everyone want to be an author nowadays. You have to read craploads of pompous nonsense before you find anything good now.

Great Job. I read a little bit. Your poems are touching.

I handwrote about 200 pages in high school at one point, and thought that it was the shit. When I read that stuff later on, I realized how horrible it was and that it was just a mix of a few books that I liked :lol

How many have you sold angel_luv?

angel_luv
10-26-2009, 01:21 PM
How many have you sold angel_luv?

Only 3.

My mother-in-law bought all three.

My first goal was actually to sell three books. I had read that the Bronte sisters first book was one they wrote together under pen names. Their book , a poetry, did not attract much attention and only sold two copies. But each Bronte sister went on to write a successful book.
I thought if on my first attempt I could better the Bronte sisters first book sales, that would be a neat thing. Thus my three book goal.

The coolest part is that my mother-in-law had no idea about my three book goal, making it all the more awesome that she was the one who helped me accomplish it.

I wrote a book once. It was about the stuff you have to go through as a kid and how much it sucks. Not to mention being teased for having hair like mine. Do you have any advice on what I would need to do in order to get it published.
