Get a book/novel published by a traditional publishing corp? or Publish it yourself?

I've gotten some opportunities to send in a manuscript of mine or a novel of mine that i wrote to some trad. corps and i was just reading on a self publishing thing and it will cost a sum of money as will getting a traditional publishing house (with the trad. house it'll take longer too)

Benefits: Trad. Corps
*better way to get out book to public
*if makes good sells, "Famous"??
Cons: Trad Corps:
*they may change YOUR work
*they have rights to your book
*takes a long while if they decide to publish

benefits: do it yourself
*rights are yours
*takes less to publish
*keep your book the way YOU wrote it
cons: do it yourself
*difficult to get famous to the public
*problems with getting more copies
ext. little things like that

what do you think???

I really want to be an actress, but I am only 13. Do you think it is a little too young? Also, I know that to be an actress, i must practice and attend acting school, drama class...and so on...but because these classes are expensive...i don't think my parent will let me. Should i just give up acting and move on? I know the chances are slim...

Okay I am probably being a bit closed minded on this, but...

If Harry Potter could not even be killed as a little baby, just sitting there defenceless, how can Voldemort even try to kill him now, as Harry now actually can actually perform magic. And I am not really buying that Harry survived because his mother threw her arms around him.

Thank you.

Okay, I understand Peter Pettigrew and Severus Snape perhaps told Voldemort about the prophecy, but how is it that Voldemort goes to The Potters and why? He only heard part of the prophecy at the time which said someone will be born and that could be anyone why does he go to the Potters?

thank you.

I don't know why, but lately, I really want to play the flute. Is it hard to learn and play? And do you know any facts that might convince my parents to let me get one? I'd really appreciate it, thanks.

Heres my story,
this his how goes
The day my bestfriend
Had left me all alone
Real bad choice
Horrible decision
Who would of thought that
Beer had caused the collision.

Late night out
Cruisin’ on the town
Before you grabbed the keys,
You had a couple rounds
Didn’t take a second to think about nothing
Who would have known that something would happen

Speedin down the road in your 69 nova
Beer in one hand shifter in the other.
Goin to fast couldn’t see the turn
Hit the brakes so hard, your tires coulda burned,
then in one split second your car had overturned.

(CHORUS)
This is the beginning of the end
Livin’ my life without my bestfriend
Didn’t have time to tell you I loved you.
Now you’re gone and I don’t know what to do.

(BRIDGE)
I need you.
I miss you.
want one last moment with you.
I hate you
For leavin me here alone
I need to
hear you
One more time.
To see your
smile so bright.


It was about 2 am when I had got the call
Couldn’t even breathe when the tears began to fall
My whole world came, crashin down around me
Now I’m left, to stand on my own two feet.

(CHORUS)
This is the beginning of the end
Livin’ my life without my bestfriend
Didn’t have time to tell you I loved you.
Now you’re gone and I don’t know what to do.

Morning finally broke, I grabbed my things
Headed out to town, To view the wretched scene
White chalk line in the shape of your body
That’s the very last thing a friend would want to see
Shattered glass was spread across the road
“you were goin bout 90” that’s what I was told
Couldn’t break down
Cause you hate to see me cry
Damn, I never thought this is the way I’d say goodbye.


(CHORUS) repeat x2
This is the beginning of the end
Livin’ my life without my bestfriend
Didn’t have time to tell you I loved you.
Now you’re gone and I don’t know what to do.
