7 First book

When you get home

Liam, placed his laptop on his desk, his laptop was very old, it was big and when he pressed the keyboard it looked like a typewriter, missed his laptop very thin, light and easy to write.

After 1 year of work, I had collected enough money to buy this laptop, had the good fortune to go through a street that had seen a family that sold their old things, and one of them was that old laptop, I tried it for see if it was working and if it worked perfectly, fortunately it only costs you 200 dollars. This old computer was one of the essential things to achieve some goals.

After spending his money, he had a few hundred dollars left, in a country like the United States one of people's personal plans was to have savings, because if the house where he lived now would not be totally canceled, he would be living on the street . In this way, buying the laptop was a great investment.

To make his dream come true, he must first enter Hollywood circles, which was very difficult, forgetting to direct a movie now, nobody would pay attention to him because he was just a child, besides being a different world, he did not know anything. Actor or director in this world. After thinking about it for a long time, his best option was to be a novelist or screenwriter. One of the strengths of being a scriptwriter or novelist is that if someone wanted to make a film with his work, he had some power, one of the cases was with writer JK Rowling known to be the author of the Harry Potter book series. Fantastic animals and where to find them, Quidditch through the centuries and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, which together have surpassed the five hundred million copies sold.

This writer had the power to choose that only the British actors are the actors of the film, about his book "Harry Potter".

Liam, who was sitting in front of his laptop thinking about which novel he should write, it was really difficult to decide what he should write, in the end he decided the literary series "Harry Potter".

Liam raised his hand to play the following lines on the keyboard "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

In memory, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was published in 1997, and consists of 77,000 words.

In 1995, Rowling finalized his manuscript for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on an old typewriter. Before the enthusiastic response of Bryony Evans, a reader who had been entrusted to review the first three chapters of the book, the agency Christopher Little Literary Agents agreed to represent Rowling in his search for an editor. The book was sent to twelve editors, who rejected the manuscript. A year later, he finally received approval (and an advance of £ 1500) from publisher Barry Cunningham for Bloomsbury, a small British publisher in London, England. The publication of Rowling's book is apparently due to Alice Newton, the eight-year-old daughter of Bloomsbury's president, who received the first chapter for review and immediately requested the second. While Bloomsbury agreed to publish the book,

Cunningham says he suggested that Rowling get a job, as he believed he had little chance of making money with children's books.

This showed Liam how difficult it would be to find a publisher, a harder one in this world that did not know very well the literary level in which they were. But I knew that if I was lucky and could find an interested publisher, I would make a lot of money. He knew that J. K. Rowling's fortune was over $ 500 million, he also knew that J. K. Rowling

If he had not been desperate to recover money at that time and had asked for more percentage for the profits of his books at this time, maybe he would have double the money he had now, so he should be very serious when negotiating.

Liam wanted the film rights of the series to have control of his own hands, because even now, as a script, if a fantasy company liked the script and turned it into a movie, the one that would get the most benefit would be that. movie companies. But Liam did not want him to want as much profit as possible, the movie companies practically scammed the new writers and only gave him a few thousand dollars.

But at the time of publishing the novel. Liam wanted the copyright signature of the film and television, waiting to get the maximum benefit possible.

When you finish focusing your ideas, concentrate on writing the novel, time flies until it is fully illuminated. Liam looks at the time of his computer and realizes that it was 7:18 a.m., he realizes that he has been writing for 6 hours straight, that his stomach starts to growl, luckily today was his free day of work.

When standing up, Liam looks at the work on his computer and stretches, according to the speed at which he is advancing in 5 days he would be completely the first book in the saga of "Harry Potter".

I enter the kitchen. Liam prepared a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs and a cup of coffee, with a toast with peanut butter on top, with a simple breakfast already finished. Liam decides to lie down to rest to replenish his energies.
