eBooks and Doctor Who

It was a very busy weekend. I sang, saw Monica for the first time in quite a while, and I decided to start formatting the Midnight's Song eBook on Lulu. If I play my cards right, I could get onto the B&N website in time for Christmas. Though, I don't have a huge audience waiting for this. I also have to worry about school, which gets overlooked when I get consumed with my writing endeavors. I have less than a month to finish the classes I am currently behind in. So, there's no rush. I've still made progress. I formatted my book as an ePub on Lulu. I am going to see how I can go about getting an ISBN so that it can be distributed. I still want to try for traditional publishing - I just want to share my work with as many people as I can. That's what I care about - having a book that impacts people. I hope I've written something that people can enjoy!

I remember that yesterday, Monica and I were watching some Doctor Who on Netflix. I showed her the first few episodes in an attempt to make her into a whovian. (I am a new whovian myself). We got to the third episode (it was the Ninth Doctor's season), and it involved that blue gas that turned dead people into zombies. Anyway, Charles Dickens was involved in the whole ordeal. After the fiasco, Dickens (apparently onto the Doctor's time travelling shenanigans) asks Nine about how his books will fare in the future.

"My books, do they last?" He asks. The Doctor pauses and studies him for a bit.
"Oh yes," he smiles.
"How long?"
"Forever."

That's every author's dream right there. Not necessarily to have Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper (or any incarnation of the Doctor and his current companion) pull up in the T.A.R.D.I.S. and save the day; but to have your writing last. I want my writing to last. It doesn't have to become a sensation, but if at least a few people who read it will hold it dear then I'll be satisfied. I'm already satisfied with my work; writing it was such an adventure. Now I'm ready to share it with the world. If I'm super lucky, maybe there's a chance it could become a sensation. The chances of that seem to be slim, though. I'm still praying.

Keep your fingers crossed and keep this work in your prayers. I have given it to God - knowing that his inspiration is what drives mine and his hand is what guides it all.
