And the good news is…

I posted yesterday at Plot Mamas about the ups and downs of life.

There’s a country song, can’t think of the name this second due to sleep deprivation, but there’s a line that goes “Sometimes you’re the windsheild, sometimes you’re the bug.”

I love that song. It’s just so apt, and can be used for any aspect of life.

From plotting, to writing, to editing, to submitting, to rejections, to…

Well, to finally getting that very first offer.

You heard me right, folks.

Someone out there is crazy enough to actually pay me for my writing. They’re going to publish me.

Me.

Yeah, it’s still feeling a little dreamlike.

And yeah, I’m still pinching myself every once in a while.

Give me a few days, and I’ll lay it all out. My experience up till now.

But, for now,

Dang.

I admit to being a fast writer. Still working on my drafts being cleaner, but there’s improvement with each new story I write.

Recently, I got a request from an editor for one of my erotic paranormal romance novellas. And one of the novels (different editor).

Then, there were these calls for submission for a couple of anthologies.

Short stories?

Hell, not me.

I’ve managed to write a grand 1 (one) short story when trying.

But this, erotic romance, I’ve found I can do. I mean, I sat down this past week and wrote 2 short stories and submitted them to different anthologies.

(PS. Hoping to hear soon, but we all know publishing, right?)

So what makes it so different, that my fantasy, urban or otherwise, and my romance, paranormal of course, just seems to require a longer medium? But erotica I seem to be able to cut shorter?

I’d think plot, but some of my readers specifically commented that what they liked most about my stories was the plot.

Any ideas readers???

…And, hopefully I’ll have some good news to share in the upcoming months. Then, I’ll get to bug ya’ll to read my stuff 🙂
