When you are broke and have very little money every month pluss piles of bills to pay off with no dang job you start being negative!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
it mostly depends on what kind of genre your book is!.!.!.
also dont let anyone tell you that your stupid for wanting to write a book! 1!. they more thn likely have never experiened the spark of inspiration required to make an artistically eveloped peice of literature like yours will undoubtedly be!!
there are many rags- to riches stories in the world of writing - stephenie meyer{twilight saga}, james patterson{maximum ride legacy}, and jk rowling{harry potter}
but guess what!? meyer has 3 kids and was a stay-at-home mom living in pheonix, AZ!. all that it took to make her famous was to have a dream that later became ch 13 of Twilight!. now she recently was on tour for one of her books!. she has three books that currently make up the twilight saga!. the fourth is coming out the 2nd of august and is bigger than harry potter was with their 7th book!! she also is working on a complemetary series for twilight and twilight the movie{coming out 12/12/08} the hype is huge!!!

as for rowling, she was sitting in a pub when she thought about how good of a story a teenage wizard would be!!
she wrote the idea on the back of a napkin and started writing the next day! now she holds a multi billion dollar industry!.!.!.

what have we learned!? well the teenager catagory is the most popular and YOU NEED A PROPER STORY!. also [ and this is the case with the maximum ride series, in which the main characters have wings] abstract is more currently accepted now!.
i am a dedicated fan to all the authors above!. i am currently writing a book myself!. if you have any of your book written, emailit to me at: erikatristens@rocketmail!.com
erika tristens is my main characters name, mine is Shyanne Warren, i just like her name better!.
dont let my sophistcated vocabulary fool you, im just a sophmore in high school!.!.!.well maybe we can talk later i really would love to read your writings

Well her books are brilliant and no one can resist them and she went to a publisher but the book didnt get accepted until like the 9th publisher so you just have to keep on trying :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

My advice to you is to write a good book!. NOWWww@QuestionHome@Com

The "lady who wrote harry potter" is J!. K!. Rowling, and she made it big because she had an excellent story to tell and the skills and education to write it for publication!. Writing is an extremely difficult way to earn money, and Ms!. Rowling's situation is largely unprecedented!. The best way to earn money when you are broke and have "no dang job" is to make yourself presentable and interview for open positions until someone hires you!. Starting a book will not provide any money "coming in" at all, even if it is a better story than Harry Potter!. Setting goals, working to complete them, and continued self-improvement are better avenues to pursue when looking for income!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
