For I just finished writing my story Rock God on Wattpad and I submitted my story notes to have publishing companies look at them. If they like my work I could wind up getting it published and even receive a movie and or television series deal. I am so nervous and sweating like a pig right now as I can't believe I just did that,.. but as DJ told Mick,.. if you just believe in yourself,.. you can move mountains so I could possibly finally have my childhood dreams of becoming a writer be coming true!!! :D

That's awesome !

Good job at finishing the book. You didn't even let me preview. You do know that my wife is an editor...or did you forget. I know something about all of it too. But I don't have my wife's skills...she so outclasses me in that stuff.

I'll look for it later when I get time.

I thought I already told you about it and you didn't appear to be interested because you thought that it was really weird or blasphemous or something. :/ I can send you a link later on if you want me to, but take away the fact that it's mostly fiction, humorous, and entertainment, and you actually have a different picture of God that people aren't used to seeing as one who's kind, loving, funny, and is completely crazy about His children and loves them with an everlasting and unconditional love. :)




For this is the side of God that people don't know about as they often see Him as angry and cold hearted just because He had to punish His children and I honestly don't believe that He likes doing that. He would rather just hang out with us and be our friend,.. and in this case rock out LOL :p Anyways, I'm a little scared of not making it I have to admit, but this story is all about seeing ourselves how God sees us and to believe in ourselves as He believes in us, so it would be hypocritical of me not to believe in myself after what my story teaches. I mostly want to tell this story because I want people to know the truth of how I see God and besides being entertained and getting a few laughs, I'm really hoping that my readers will wind up walking away with something in the end and realize that miracles truly can happen if you just believe. :') So, in the words of DJ, just keep on rocking and catch ya dudes later!! :p

April, I'm rooting for you, but please don't get your hopes up and get let down. Getting published is difficult. I wrote children's book and almost got published and it was a pretty good children's book that I wrote and illustrated using Photoshop and Illustrator. But in the end it got turned down. Lesson learned.

Hey I know that, but it can't hurt to try. After all,.. do you know how many times JK Rowling was given a no before finally receiving a yes? I can't remember for sure, but I think it was quite a few if I recall.

Chicken Noodle Soup for the Soul was rejected 144 times!

You might have to tweak some things here and there if you're going through a Christian publisher.

Here is my advice: Give it to God and make it profitable for him. Let your imagination be captivated by him and the Lord will use you.

Psalm 37:4-6

"Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:

He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun."

Yeah I got a letter back from the editor saying that he had my book on his desk for a while considering it. So he was thinking about publishing it. Looking back now I should have kept trying with that book. But I didn't and now the illustration files are lost so I can't unless I re-do the whole thing. Maybe I will some day. So yeah you should try to have it published and not give up. Anyways, good job on finishing your creative project. Not everyone can finish a book.

Oh I won't give up and I suggest that you don't either and I can give you two quotes to show you why. One, is my own where DJ (AKA God) tells Mick (my other main character) that if you give up on something (in this case being a musician) you'll never know how great you can become. The other one is also one of my favorites.




"You try you fail, you try you fail,.. but the only true failure is when you stop trying." -Madam Leota (The Haunted Mansion)




Btw, if anybody is interested in reading my first work that I'm currently trying to get published it is located right here. :)
