Publication quest
August 26, 2007 | Uncategorized
Another rejection, which to be honest, I expected. The charming editor is right, it’s not their kind of story. Ironically, I know what she wants and I’d love to give it to her, but I don’t have anything unpromised in inventory. Argh!
To make matters worse, real life is kicking my butt and writing has moved to the back of the priority list–barely creeping along.
I have one more discriminating editor to try with my erotica short story. I know there are readers, who want these stories, but there are only a few publishers, who offer them. Argh, argh!
Current year’s goals updated
1) Continue to study and learn the craft of writing (this is a permanent goal).
2) Three submissions–done–follow up with a sequels* one done, two in progress
3) In roads into the TBR shelves
Progress report
1) Writing–applying what I’ve learned so far …
2) Six submissions sent! Two novels, one novella x two, and one short x two
Status: One sale–four rejections–one waiting to hear from the publishers
Timeline:
Number one: resting–revisions next year?
Number two: Sold! Tasteful acquiring editor explained it will be months before an editor is assigned to work with me … actual release date? Some time next year is my best guess.
Number three: waiting for format changes needed before resubmitting
Number four: Submitted–estimated response time: one week to ten months one week**
Number five: Resting before final polishing edit
TBR shelves lightened
*Yes, I do admit this is an insane plan, but I needed to stay busy. Now I need to recover my twisted mind in order to develope more dangerously sexy stories.
** Tasteful review editor wrote that she liked it and moved it to acquiring editor’s inbox. Sadly, acquiring editor’s inbox is overflowing
