Thanks.

I've already gotten into that whole self-publishing skirmish a few times before. Some argue it is the death of your sales, some say that it can be rewarding. What path I'll choose on that is yet to be seen.

The main thing I am currently worried about right now is who I let see it, and who I let help me on it. I know a lot of publishers love that "first rights" crap, and if they know that I've been going to a few people here and there, and not the editors they want me to go to, then it could screw me a lot.

Everything about the whole publishing process is rather confusing, and I've honestly only given it a brief skim. Hell, I'm not even out of high school yet, why should I know all of that?

As for what you said about keeping plenty of stories going on at one time...I shouldn't have a problem with that. For one, I got this novel done fairly quickly. The first 20 pages or so were done back in September. Then I procrastinated and waited a week and a half before the project was due to write the last 72 pages in Word. Secondly, I have at least 3 other stories in the works, all about 30 pages each so far. 1 of which shouldn't be much longer than the book I just finished, one may span into 2 or 3 books, and 1 could end up being one of those sagas that just keep going and going, with tons of spin-offs. You have no clue to this massive universe that I have created in my head for that one.

Anyways, thanks for the input. I have a feeling you'll be a guy I'll be coming back to when I need to figure out where to get my foot in the door.
