My story still progresses, but I`ve been reading up on some things about publishing and self publishing today. The more I read the more hopeless it seems. I`m not too far off from finishing my manuscript, in the basic outline I had. In fact I just solved, with the help of a writing buddy to bounce ideas off of, the one major hole in my story. This particular section has just been started as far as the writing of it goes, but from the very beginning I had only the general idea of what would happen before and after that point. When it came time to write it I panicked a little. Then I spent several hours in Mister Donuts with coffee and my writing buddy and came away with a good idea and an education in the workings of golems that had noting to do with a story either of us is writing.
Still my lack of potential audience bothers me. Mine is not a romance story, but neither is it suited to the younger children that tend to like the adventure stories without the dopey, angsty romances that it seems the entirety of YA has become. Again it is not really dark or real enough to be passed off as an adult fantasy either. Those combined don`t mean it will be a bad story, but it means if I ever get to the point that I can start looking for an agnet or submit my story to someone for editing, I have a very small chance of actually finding someone who will take me on.
