I have just finished listening to a book, and if it wasn’t on Audible I would have thrown it across the room.\u00a0 It was horrible!\u00a0 When I finished, I knew that I could write better than this guy.\u00a0 And I actually have written a better novel than this one, set in the same time period with the same idea…but I know I did it a lot better.<\/p>\n
Many times, that is my inspiration: the knowledge that I could do better than the published author.\u00a0 It really is more luck than skill these days.\u00a0 I could write a perfect 25 pages, stupendous cover letter, believable characters and story and everything grammatically correct – except it hits the wrong editor, time after time after time.<\/p>\n
I’ve sent Grim out to four agents thus far, and gotten rejections.\u00a0 I’m assuming I’m hitting the wrong agent.<\/p>\n
I am tempted to pull Grim off Kindle, change it to a more adult-oriented story (not gay EroRom) and sell it to that group instead of making it a YA coming-of-age story.\u00a0 It does need a good reader, and I do need someone to read it through once and get feedback.<\/p>\n
I believe I will take the piece I started writing on Literotica and create an EroRom book for it.\u00a0 The muse has given me many ideas for Tamerlane and Roger, how they work together to solve oddball crimes.\u00a0 However not every scene has hot and heavy sex in it.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, I am working on the first draft of Grim 3, the last in the trilogy, though debating on whether or not to have a happy ending.\u00a0 I am also still revising Book 2; my date to have it out is September 9, 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
