Chapter 8 - Book finished

Ana, manager of Frances restaurant, discovered that, for several days, Liam had changed. I had been distracted these past few days. When he entertained the guests, he no longer joked as he did with the women who visited the restaurant, Liam even sometimes fell asleep at the time it was his turn to rest.

"Liam, did something happen recently, do you seem somewhat distracted?" During a break once, Ana finally could not resist and asked.

"It is so obvious?" Liam asked, somewhat surprised.

Ana laughed: "It's written all over your face."

"It could be because I found a goal, you know, once they have something they want to do, they will be more motivated."

"Oh, what goal? Do you mind telling me?

"Of course not," Liam replied: "I've decided to become a novelist, I've been writing my first novel recently, it will be over in 1 day."

"Become a ... a novelist?" Ana was somewhat surprised, unconsciously opened her mouth, wanting to remind him not to point too high at first, but then remembered that this child was always very serious when working.

Liam just smiled at Ana's eyes. After all, this was Hollywood, every year thousands of people came from all over the world to pursue their dreams in the film industry, novels, singers, it was very difficult to make a name in the industry.

"That ... When you have finished writing your novel, you can show me You should know that I am a big fan of reading and I have read many books, so I could give you some comments about your novel", said Ana

"No problem, when the time comes, you can help me by making comments." Liam answered so that Ana does not think that he did not want to show her the book. Ana supported him a lot in getting the job, also respected her for being a hard-working woman.

Although Liam had already reviewed this script as much as possible, he could not guarantee that there would be no flaws. Since although the novel was almost the same, had made some other change in the plot, Ana could help you better to find gaps.

The two chatted for a while. When several customers entered the restaurant, Liam hurried to greet them.

After a day's work, Liam went quickly to his house, took his dinner hastily and took care of the novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

The novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was finished, and it was time for the final revision. Liam planned to send photocopies to several publishers tomorrow. However, for the script, I had only written the outline, since there were still several points that had to be worked on. Liam had everything planned in his mind so he only needed two days to fix things.

He left home the next morning, around 7:00 am, to make several copies of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and mail them to the publishers. He had noted the addresses of some American publishers who were famous in this world, even if these large-scale publishers rejected Liam's draft, he would not be disappointed. It must be known that the United States had tens of thousands of publishers large and small alike, someone who would eventually please their novel. Although "Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone" although the literary series of "Harry Potter" was known worldwide as one of the best-selling works, the first book had a slow start, and that was not technically Liam's goal, what he wanted was that at least the book gains a small fame quickly to be able to own the rights of author of the film and the televising rights once the novel was published.

"Hi, what can I do for you?" Just as he entered the printing press, a very pretty African-American employee who was a bit thin gave him a warm welcome.

Liam pulled the manuscript out of his bag: "I'd like to make some copies of this."

When the girl looked at the thick pile of papers, her eyes lit up slightly and the smile on her face became brighter: "Sir, can I take a look?"

"No problem". Liam handed him the manuscript.

The girl did not pay attention to the content, but counted the number of pages: "There are 248 pages, but I will count them as 240. A complete copy of the manuscript would be 33 US dollars, how many copies do you like, sir?

33 American dollars! Liam's mouth twitched slightly, he sighed at how expensive that was. He had only brought $ 100, he thought they were enough, but apparently he had set himself up.

After negotiating again and again, they finally set the price of one hundred US dollars for four copies. Once the money was paid, the girl politely told Liam to take a seat, then took the manuscript and began copying.

Liam sat waiting for the girl to do her job. He would probably do it for about 15 minutes and would not oppose his work on hold. Although it only filled up after 10 in the restaurant and even if he knew that Ana would not get mad at him, he wanted to have a professional profile when it came to work, so he could not relax when it came to doing his job.

About ten minutes later, the girl finished doing the work and gave the copies of the novel to Liam. Liam realized that everything had proceeded to pay him, when he finished, went to the exit door of the printing press and began to run to the restaurant because soon would be the time, when the restaurant was full of customers.
