[quote=Anonymous]That's awesome--I was like this too. There are a lot of reasons not to focus on publishing, but one in particular would be that if she wants to publish later, she will not be a "debut" if her previous work has an ISBN. She would have to disclose this and sales numbers if she wants to get an agent, and the sales numbers of a self-published book will almost always not be considered desirable for what a traditional publisher would be looking for. I'd suggest she put more into the idea of developing a daily writing practice, reading widely, writing in different formats/genres, and most of all an emphasis on finishing a project and then revising it. Recommending "How to Write a Story" by Kate Messner and "How to Build a Story" by Frances O'Roark Dowell.[/quote]
