Books & Authors - December 2007

I am writing a fantasy story that deals with problems in our society. I am thinking about publishing the book. First of all, I have no idea how to do that, so I want to know what I need to do, if I need to pay and how much (not exactly, but an estimate). Also my story is written in a very simple way. I've figured the simpler it is, more people will read it since they won't find it difficult to read, but I am willing to make any changes. Any tips you want to throw in will be welcome too. Thanks to those who help and happy new year to all!

Everyone has told me that I should be a writer because apparently I'm a good writer.
Well, I've finally decided to make everyone happy and write a mystery.
I'm thinking of taking one of the scariest nights of my life and twisting it and then adding more...
I have a few ideas written down, but I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how to write well? I'm 13 years old and I've read TONS of books so I'm totally literate and stuff, but I want to know if anyone can tell me what the easiest kinds of books are to write and how much easier it is to write when you have ideas written down or if you're just letting it pour from your heart and writing random stuff...

Thanks in advanced. =]

..i don't know if that makes sense but i don't know how else to describe it. every book i read on any random page there's three dots, sometimes i've seen stars on the bottom or top of the page. what do they mean? ..if anything.

okay, well im 17 and going to major in script-writing (creative writing) and minoring in English.

anyway, for my application (im applying for an early major), i need to send in a standard script that i wrote (they said anywhere from 20-40 pages and they'll read as far as they feel is necessary).

i have a TV -like script that i wrote. It's not all the way done but the first "episode" is about 40 pages and (like some pilot episodes) is totally dry. its not its fault, just pilot episodes are somewhat dry since your trying to squeeze out these characters out of no where.

i have episode 2 which is a lot more exciting, but would that throw them off because its sort of like "so all this crap happened before that you havent heard of..." etc etc.

help please!

I've currently been working on this story idea of mine, what i typed so far on the computer is 5,189 words long (i love word count). Just for curiosity's sake, about how many pages in a standard novel will that be?
