    Sorry to bring this up, but "supergenius" doesn't start at 140, rather 165/170ish. I have an IQ of 147 and I am certainly no genius (in the classical sense)!

    Not trying to be rude or anything, I just think one should have realistic expectations. To be honest, IQ is a flawed scale anyway... XD

    well clockwise man, i just went through a writersliterary company, though i found it too expensive, they told me that my work has commercial potential so i have now decided that i'm going to self publish through www.lulu.co(m/.uk) i can't remember which. it will cost me roughly 2.80 per book, marketed for 4.99/3.99

    Thanks guys, I have gone through a childrens' literary agency and have been represented by them, and through them I have beenreffered to a publishing service. Before they see my work though, I am going through a critique and editing process. This was about two weeks ago, when I started the entire process. Though the emails I have recieved are impersonal, they are very helpful.

    Hi Sumayya, it's JOE. I will do that, I think. I need to develop one of the charaters more, so I will. Thanks for the idea. By the way, if you ever want a book, it's called Extraho.

    hi john - dont worry - u'll get over it. if theres nothing dramatic happening en route, you can use the chapter to fill in some blanks perhaps, reg some of the characters - have them chat about some incident in the past that may explain some action/behaviour in the present or smthing along those lines. if its been high drama up to this journey - you could also use it for some comic relief. alternately - if theres nothing important to add - you could scrap the chapter altogether and have them set off at the end of the previous one and arrive at their destination in the chapter after.
