First and foremost, before I get going,
the winners for my contribution to LT3's 'Way to Your Heart' birthday
shenanigans; Shayla Mist and Crissy Morris! Emails have been sent out, so please holler
back at me for confirmation, and the first one of you I hear back from gets first dibs on choice of shiny. And a big thank you to everyone who
stopped by my neck of the internet to say hi during the past couple
of weeks, thanks to your replies I've now got a couple new addictions
to pile into my poor iPod. XD
Now, moving on to everything else...
In the land of editing: my final,
personal revisions to 'Connect', still not entirely certain on that
title, went in to LT3, as did the reviewed manuscript for 'Put You in
a Song'. Woo-hoo editing madness! I'm looking forward to getting
back the edits for 'Connect' because I think right now I'm still too
close to it to be able to do it justice editing wise, but I am
really, really pleased with the way it turned out, and can't wait to
share it with you.
In the land of revisions: I'm working
on rewriting one of my rejected stories from last year for re-submission at the end of next month, tightening and tweaking things
to make it even better than it is currently. Also on the running the
revision gauntlet is the rejected 'Prince's Flower', am hoping to
expand it from 7K to 10-12K before I submit it to LT3 for their
fairytale serial line.
In the land of new writings: I've
sadly come to the conclusion that I'm not going to make LT3's 'Proud
to be a Vampire' submission deadline for two reasons; one, the
characters aren't talking to me, and I refuse to force the story to
happen and end up with something I hate, and two, my Darkest Mercy
boys have been chattering up a storm in my head space, so I'm giving
in to them, and writing something that'll fall in-between 'Rock 'n
Roll Seraphim' and 'Put You in a Song'. But I will return to my
vampires in the not so distant future, so I'm not completely bummed
to have to shelf them for now.
Also, I'm hard at work on my
contribution to the Goodread's M/M Romance group's 'Love Has NoBoundaries' writing event. My 'Dear Author' letter was written by
Shaz, and I'm having entirely too much fun with it. :3 For those of
you who aren't members on Goodreads, here's the teaser, from the working draft, that I posted last
week:
Names removed, and replaced with place
holders, as per event guidelines
