The Final Stretch

    It's done.
  "The Secret of the Hunters" is done.

    Final Count
 Chapters (plus Preface and Epilogue): 26
 Pages: 349 normal pages, 14 pages a chapter, 124 large pages

    I'm technically not finished. I'm still deciding if I want to add two more sentences to the ending or not. So far it's yes, but it might end up being no.
 That doesn't matter, though. I'm done. It's over. I need to go through and edit it, which might add and subtract pages, but this is the general number I've hit. It's a bit open ended, so it might have a sequel. It might not. We'll see.
 I already have two peers editing my work for me. Yay! Well, three, if you count the grade 10 girl who wants to read it.

    So, all I have to do is edit it (once, twice, thrice), give it to my peers to edit, find a publishing company, and get it published. Yay! I feel so fulfilled! I'm so proud of myself! The best part is being able to brag about it at Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday and Monday. YES!
 Oh, I am so happy! But so sad. Because I love all my characters and I don't want their adventure to end. It was so great! It was so much fun!
 Unfortunately, I don't think it will sell, because Fantasy is a much lesser favorite of the genres of books, nowadays. In fact, books themselves aren't even a big thing. Some people still read, but not all of them...I sort of feel like I failed in some way because of that, but whatever.

    I forget who said it, but someone asked, "What would happen if no one buys your book?" No one? What do you mean by no one? Like zero sales, ten to thirty sales, what? So I said, "I dunno. I'll try again, I guess."
 I like the super natural. It's not terrible, but I'm not really a big Harry Potter, Hunger Games, nor a Twilight fan. I don't know what's wrong with me. I just...don't...I just aren't into those things, but my friend is going to try and make my a Potterhead or whatever, so it shouldn't be too long before I'm into the Harry Potter series.
 Problem is, I can't write super natural without it become a fantasy. I think fantasy, currently, is the most underrated book-type. The only series doing well in the fantasy section is Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympias, which is basically this same thing. (btw, I can't wait to read the Lost Hero).

    Anyways, I have to edit it, but it's way to late to be doing that. I have allergies and I am super tired, so I'm probably going to head off to bed now. Wait till I'm fully awake, as I have gotten no sleep in the past little while. Yay...! Heh.
