Where do you see yourself in the future?

[FPLOON]

My editor has not permitted me on revealing the novel's title before all the name patent BS gets sorted out... On top with some disagreements with the publishing company, who kept insisting that I should change certain key elements of the story itself so that it can fit just right within the YA spectrum of literature just in case it gets picked up for a PG-13 movie adaptation down the line... So, assuming this will all go down within the next 10-15 years (since I personally want to get all the skeletal story planning finalized considering I want to expand more within the world that this particular novel establishes so that all future novels will come out at a regularly scheduled pace), that's when the reveal of the novel's release date will be announced as well as my potential tour dates across America hopefully starting in my hometown of San Diego, California...

With all that said, I'm not sure if I answered your request or not, but at least I could expand a bit on the specific part you quoted...

Wow, I didn't even realize book publisher's messed with writers like that. I mean, it's good if they're seeing potential in your book and looking to work with you for further books, but trying to change the story itself seems downright shameless. That being said, I wish you great success with your book. (and potentially even your franchise )

Well, I can see where they're come from when they do tell me to change certain things, so it's not as bad as you may think or how I might be making it out to be... At least they're not outright telling me how to write them differently and/or literally giving me suggestions when I don't ask for them first, so every revision I [might] end up doing does come from me personally... Besides, they do [sometimes] lead to either side surprising the other in certain situations...
