I am young, writing a teen novel. Is it simple? Or plain stressful and gives you gray hairs?
Well when you give it a flash think, its simple. Just put toghther couple of words, into a couple of chapters. BOOM.
You have a book Bravo!
But you think about really... its nothing you expect.
Lets say you start writing your own book. First you have to think of a good topic to write about. A topic that will lure your readers closer to you, you want your readers to imagine ever bit of it. You want them to picture a movie.
Lets talk about the paper work...
HARSH. Paper work, you have to know where your story goes which is really hard, my story was suppose to go right, and it ended up going left! You have to plan it even though you know its going to change its ways.
Publishing the book.
Publishing might seem very simple, simply simple. But not true. There are some online websites that you just click away and everything is chosen. But one thing. Page Numbering. You have to know how many pages of Word goes into your book. Which is math for math for math for MATH! You have to analyze it very closely. You dont want yout text too big neither too small. You want it perfectly sized. Which is very hard to do. Many sites do this. Including www.Lulu.com
Lulu.com
Lulu is a greta publishing company, they also have live help which is great. But that help doesnt help much at times. I prefer www.createspace.com It might seem complicated when you first get on the site. But soon, its very comfortable and simple. Young ones, if your publishing a book like me, you need to talk to your parents thruly about having a bank account. I did it, and my parents were supportive.
All i did on this post was explain how stressful and hard work is writing the book, plus the other add-ons of stress. But one wise thing to say is Hard work ALWAYS pays off sooner or later. Typing for hours and hours on doesnt seem that fun. But put on some music, do some yoga, and meditate.
Now that i have lots of pages (half the book) my whole family knows about this book. They all are happy for me and love the idea. You can do anything you want in life. Just telling you the book repays you with Knowledge and wisdom. Also a story to tell your kids and grandkids. Having older people lookign up to you. Having people with more wisdom filling your brain up.
A book might be stressful yes, but it pays off, ever single penny and more.

Spill Your Words?
Well, spill your words speak for it self.
Weather you decide it means something else? I dont know think what you want to think. But theese words make simple sense, for sure.
Spill your words means to let it out, say what you have to say..
Sometimes its best to stay shut at the moment. But lateron this will affect you, how about spill it out with people you will porbably enevr meet and dont know you. That way we cant judge you.
SOmetimes its best to spill it out...Thats what i think let your heart out live laugh and enjoy.. and welcome... say what ever you want do what you want
Just spill your words.
