Wow, I'm quite pleased with the responses! 55 yays and only 24 nays. Of course, 54 didn't know about it, but that's to be expected (and trust me, in a couple weeks, it'll be impossible for you not to know about it!).

I'm going to the Outer Banks next week, so I'm going spend a lot of my time there putting this Journal together. Besides the stories and poems, Brad has written a short preface, and there'll be the 101 tips for writers as well. In addition to that, look for writing quotes, weird facts, and random tidbits. I am not simply going to slap something together as most writing sites do; instead, I fully intend to make this something you'll want to keep on your desk for years to come.

Tim ->> If you are who I think you are then you should've received your publishing agreement today.

I am uber excited about this lovely Journal.



Have fun in the Outer Banks, Nate.

Ta,
Cal.

Should we have recieved our contracts yet?

Very interesting, I can't wait to see how this turns out overall. If the organisation of YWS is anything to go by, it should be great.

Will being overseas delay when I'll receive a copy of the book? :p

I think I'll buy another copy as well actually and give it to my local library.

That sounds soooooooooooo tooooooottttaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllyyyyyyy WWWWWWWWWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKK
KKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woo! I, for one, am definately excited!

I'm definitely going to order this book. Do you have a guess of about how many pages it'll be?

It's looking to be in the range of 125 to 175; I'll have something more exact by Wednesday most likely.

I'm excited!


I just mailed my contract off today... *slow* I see now why you said mid January or February. The slow pokes will be keeping you behind.

It's alright. I was way too ambitious with that January 15 deadline actually; most publications give themselves three or more months. Ah well, it's the lessons of the first time.

...can I order one now? I mean, are the, err, contracts ready?

Not yet, but trust me, when they are ready to order, you will know. There'll be e-mails, announcements, topics, me shouting "Buy! Buy! Buy!" etc, etc, etc.

Lol, Nate, I just got a weird picture out of that. If you've seen Sweeney Todd, I think you'll know what I'm thinking of...

Anyway, gah! Must remember to start hanging flyers. I know I still need to prod my English teacher into posting one, 'cause I kinda wrote the story for her class. I figure my class will be interested. ^^

[/can't wait]

-:pirate3:

Yay! I printed out about thirty flyers...I am so excited about this! I mean, I just joined YWS around two months ago, but in even that small period of time, it has become my second home. =)
GO YWS! Wheet-wh00t!

hey sorry to screw things up but i got home from a two week vacaton today to find no publishing agreement. Is there any way i can fill it out online?
May neighbours wouldve been collecting my mail and may have thrown it out for no real reason?????

hmm. sorry if this has slowed everything down i mean everyone at this end is cool with it being published its just a very awkward situation being so far away, also mail sometimes takes over a month to get here after being sent from the states.

hell, i still havent received a get smart dvd from sydney sent 3 months ago!
