Chatterbox: Inkwell

My book is

My book is almost finished! It's probably going to be about 30,000 words in total. Right now it's 26,700 words. :D

Here's my pitch:

Annika wakes up in the dungeon of a castle with no idea who she is or how she got there. When a former friend shows up to free her, she learns she is the leader of a rebel band seeking to overthrow the Queen. As Annika's memory slowly returns, she must put together the pieces of her past to find the truth behind her motivations and solve the mystery of her own betrayal.
But to don the famed red cloak of her past is harder than she anticipated. The Queen, a shadowy figure who never leaves the castle, is always one step behind them. And before she can reach her goal, Annika must learn to reach out to an ally more powerful than she could have imagined, and shine a light through the darkness.

And on the story's inkpop page I have this.

WARNING: Contains religious themes and moral references.

I'm definitely going to try and finish by June. (I'll probably finish the first draft by March, but, edits and stuff.) Then I'm going to see if I can't get it published. :D The teacher of my writing class last year was a published author, and I want to see if I can get her to look over it.

So... I don't really know why I'm posting this. Maybe I should be asking you if you want to hear some of it. Maybe I should be asking if anyone has projects in similar stages of completion. Idk. I'm just starting to get excited.

TOOOOOOOP!  This is uber-cool!  If you want, since that fabulous HarperCollins deal gave out, you could self publish on Amazon.  Sometimes, publishers look at those books.  Or you could make it a 99-cent e-book and make two-million dollars in two months like one girl did.  You have inspired me to post my story on here (maybe.)  Not maybe about you inspiring me.  Maybe about me posting.  Continue, please.  I think it would be easier to follow if it wasn't on the internet and was an actual print book.
