Well...so long as it isn't the NaNo novel for this year that I gotta try to get done...
I dunno...the whole process just seems scary to me! But I do intend to pick up a used copy of Writer's Market one of these days to do some reading up on possible publishers and stuff. Might also help me decide what I want to attempt if I do anything "real".
You should also investigate e-publishers and self-publishing.
Have you considered joining an on-line writer's workshop?
