Question: Who will come to an author's aid!?
Hello to you all!. Please bare with me for a second while I address the issue!. I am 21 and an aspiring writer!. For 18 months I have been working on a sci-fi fantasy book series, and have written a great deal of it!. There will be five books in this series!. However, the problem that I have is a simple one!.!.!. time!. I am an English major at a college in Atlanta!. For what reason, I am not sure!. I guess I just keep living off financial aid, going to school, and working part-time so that I do not have to go out into the real world and find a real job, that I'd hate doing!. What I love is writing and creating these wonderful adventures!. But sadly, I have no time!. Since I go to school, I cannot write at peace, because I'm constantly writing papers and reading tons of books!. Is there anyway that I can talk to someone, show them a bit of my story, and have them help me out while I finish the first book (if they like it!?) If not, I understand; but if anyone knows something that I don't, I would LOVE to hear about it!. Thanks a lot- Kodiak KerfootWww@QuestionHome@Com

but sadly, welcome to reality!.
life isn't easy
maybe you should ask a publisher for advice!.
You know what's funny!.!.!.
As soon as you have published that first successful story
and you don't have to attend school and bla bla bla!.
people from all over the world will be willing to help you!.
that is when you much watch out for
they want either your money, idea's or fame
So, as much as my comment is unhelpful to you!.
good-luck
keep on soldiering on
and
i hope you write a best seller

What you are asking for you will not get!. You are asking someone who doesn't know you, to advance you money for a series you have not finished and does not have a guarantee to be published!. I suggest you just do like the rest of us and write when you have time!.

Two bits of advice :
Get yourself a Dictionary & learn to use it
Find yourself a pen-name !.Www@QuestionHome@Com
As a published author, here's a tip!. We don't make a lot of money, even after we're published!. The vast majority of us still have day jobs and families and other real life responsibilities!.
There will NEVER be a time when you are left in peace from the world to create in your own bubble!. What you will do, if you're determined, is carve out moments when you can write!. You'll get up earlier than everyone else, or stay up later!. You'll write on your lunch break!. You'll write while you're waiting in line!.
But I do think it's time for you to get on with your life, rather than wishing for something that, in all likelihood, won't come to pass!.
Finish school, get a job, finish the book, and submit it!. Just like everyone else!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
