Rcty Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Just like the title said, I'm somewhat a published author! Our teacher made us write a poem and short story that was sent into a book/magazine type thing and BOTH of mine were used!!! I have always wanted to an author, and now I kind of am. For all of you that are wanting to know, I should be recieving the thing I got published in soon. When I do, I will post the stories I wrote if I feel like it. (They're kind of long.) I'm going to go ahead and quote the titles, though. [sOON TO BE POSTED] [sOON TO BE POSTED] ~Rcty Rcty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

issy2 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Well....Wow! Amazing! That's really cool...I've always wanted to be an author. My tutor, Chris, who had some of his own work published, says magazines and competitions are the best way to becoming a real writer. Unless I've got my facts wrong, E. Nesbit, Brian Jacques and Gillian Cross all started out like that. Good luck with all ya stuff! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaquierming Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Congrats! :) When I was in like grade 6 my teacher made the class all write short storys and they were submitted to this book, and then the best short storys were picked and were added to the book. It was like a book of all short storys from kids, the name was like, Unicorns and UFO's or something like that, oh yeah, my story was one of the ones picked. :) Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

fgfuyfyuiuy0 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 My story is still being waited upon to be checked if it can be published. I got so bored, when I was grounded, I wrote a 30 chapter book on a zombie attack. I love zombies :wink:. My mom read it and thought it was really good. She sent it in, but before I could change the title. I don't really like the title, once I finished the book #-o. It's called "The New Beginning". I just don't like it. So, if any of you pick up a book called "The New Beginning; By [Please do not share rl information on this forum ~Alduron]", then read it ;) I <3 Gears of War 2.

idunedain Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 It's always a wonderful feeling to have your own work published. I totally agree, even if all my published "works" were in scientific journals/books, it's such a great feeling when you get the book/magazine/etc. and you look at it... you're work is there :) Anyway, back on topic, congratulations!

Make7upu101 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Congratulations! I also had my story picked out in elementary school to be in this little collection of stories. It was the dumbest story and I really never figured out why it was picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icingdeath Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Good job! I had a poem published in the fifth grade. Bragging rights FTW. I really wouldn't call it an era. It was more of a definitive time period during which dinstinctive characteristics were expressed in similar ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the dumbest story and I really never figured out why it was picked. Ha, same here, except that it was a poem. It was absolutely horrible, and I'm ashamed that I wrote such a thing. I also feel sorry for whatever idiot thought it was good enough to publish. :P Congrats, Rcty! :) "In so far as I am Man I am the chief of creatures.

heart_of_ink Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Wow, congrats! The only time I've ever been published was in the school newpaper (sad, but true) for a long and fiery rant about the school mascot, a chameleon. I said that chameleons represent conformity, which ultimately stood for Naziism. I also said that a dyslexic toddler could've done a better job of picking a mascot. Anyway, the point is, you're yet another person who is better than me. There's no sig here. Move it along... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Cool. I'll be next. ;) Does anyone happen to know death_siren? She stole a green mask from me, and I think I found my way into her ignore list. If you know anything, please, don't hesitate to give me a pm.
