In my research for my questions I found that it a long/short thing, that it takes the longest to write the book then it is to be published. well that's if you have an agent of course. I also found out that the editing is stressful for everyone, knowing that even the best authors have a troubling time with editing makes me feel a lot better. Ha, my first question was one that I sort of did to be funny and isn't a real question. My third question was asking about the payment, I found that I will be paid of course, I knew that. But it's not that simple, you see I will be paid, "Receive money for it prior to publication." which is called an advance; But I didn't know about the two, three, four advances I get.
