I'll worry about those future stories later.

I started a series when I was twelve and worked on it for ten years too. I actually had three books done when I decided to rewrite them when I was seventeen. Then I had to rework the first book several time. I'm trying to get an agent for the first book now though. With no luck yet. So we have a LOT in common. I wish you all the best with yours. :)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.com
