I can't believe it that one of my stories will be published! I'm pretty excited and nervous!

I want to start writing books. i have a laptop and a flash drive that I type on. Are you self-publishing? I heard 50 shades of gray was self-published.

It's going to be published by Dorrance. I'm already thinking about what the cover should look like.

It will be titled Elementals: The Next Generation. It's been like ages since the last humans have left Earth, and now on their new worlds, they are convinced that Earth is a dying world. But Earth isn't a dying world, but the contrary. It was really like a plot to get humans off Earth before they did destroy it completely. Now that they're gone, one of the more forward thinking characters, Xenia, thinks that perhaps there are other Elementals still among the humans, so she's working on like a project to bring them to Earth. Some of the other characters aren't too keen on this. They're afraid that Xenia's idea might end up bringing disaster back to Earth. I'm working on the prequels, which are a collection of short stories. I know, it's weird that I wrote this one first. I might also write a sequel to this one.

Then I'm wondering about getting some of my other stories published as children's books, especially some on Floyd and Martha, a couple of meerkats who are the dominant pair in a meerkat gang. I must disagree with Timon on that all meerkats do is dig so they can hide and hide so they can dig. From what I've read and seen, life in a meerkat colony is much more exciting than that. I also have a couple of others with animal characters.
