So, I'm sitting here, reading the very first novel I've ever completed and, boy.... It needs work. I have to chuckle. It's not necessarily the plot line, but the prose. This story idea was given to me by a high school friend named Jenn about a blind date mix-up. The story evolved from there. It's basically about a group of friends dealing with life while attending Northeastern. There's sex, arguments, singing, even a stalker! Lol. I'll revamp it at some point.
I had a talk with Ashleigh about copyrighting. She's a lawyer so she thinks about those kinds of things. I started researching the process (and the costs) but my work computer was acting up so I couldn't go into it as much as I wanted. It's a little steep ($35) so I'll probably do them maybe two at a time. She was concerned about protecting myself and my work, with which I agree. It hadn't even occurred to me to copyright my stories. I've just been focused on writing and editing and finding an agent who'll be enthusiastic about selling my work (that's the word many of the agents use in their rejection letters, "enthusiastic" ::rolls eyes::).
