HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LIVEJOURNAL
I just realized that this month marks the one-year anniversary of this blog.
Wow. And to think I was worried I'd have nothing to say. Apparently, it hasn't stopped me one bit.
I'm wrapping up the first phase of the work project that has monopolized my time the last few weeks. I'll try to come up with a fitting blog entry soon to mark this occasion.
If you've checked in for a writing update, here it is: I received a rejection this week that reinforces the very real possibility that I won't be selling to Harlequin and Silhouette any more. I'm trying, they're trying, but with Bombshell gone, I'm just not a very good fit for them. And vice versa.
Oh well. No big surprise, really. H/S is the heart of romance, and I've always been on the fringe of that genre. I instinctively gravitate more toward the "romance as a subplot" approach, not only in my writing, but also in my reading and viewing habits. give me a strong nonromance plot and a love story brewing in the background and I'm a happy writer/reader/viewer. Hit me over the head with the romance -- or worse, ask me to do the hitting -- and I lose my voice. Literally and literarily.
We'll see. Maybe H/S will come up with another cross-genre line that works for me better.
Meanwhile, I can't afford to obsess. I have my annual battle with the Bunny Cake coming up soon, and i have to prepare myself mentally for the battle. This year, I will prevail. I even bought a candy thermometer, so I don't have to deal with that ridiculous "spiderweb string" curse that has foiled my attempt at making boiled frosting on the first try every year.
Blog to you later. I'm cooking up a new contest -- no bun intended -- and it should be a good one (and by good, I mean evil). So stay tuned. And congrats again to the winners of my last contest -- your books are in the mail!
