I've written five full novels. Many that are quite near finish. I'll try publishing it the normal way first of course, but I don't find it very likely. But if it happens and I'm former unpublished I have no say in layout or cover image. I know people who printed their own stuff so at least libraries could have them. That is rather cool, been thinking of it. But it probably will end up an e-book.
It will take a while though. Friend never even read the last one she was gonna help with, but this time she seems much more prone to reading it, I have another test reader as well.
If I'll ever do an excerpt I will have to find some perfect part. Not sure what that would be. I tried google translate it for fun but it put my main character living in a tree for once of the many cool translation errors.
Anyone is free to receive the google translated mess. Just PM, but it is basically not readable.
