Getting Published Rocks
Yeah, that’s pretty much the whole post. Getting published rocks.
I don’t think I’ve posted anything in awhile, but I have a few publications/productions out there in the world now (including the one represented by the image above) and I’m starting to feel like hey, I’m a real writer. Kind of cliche, I know, but it’s 100% true.
And it feels especially good lately because it’s actually gotten really hard for me to find time to write. For various familial reasons, I don’t have a lot of spare time. Or maybe it’s more accurate to say I don’t have a lot of spare mental energy. Not enough spoons. But I’m still managing it once or twice a week. And this blog post kind of counts (but not really).
I did start writing a new novel. I think. I suppose it may end up being shorter than that. A novella. Not sure. It’s too early in the process. One of those stories that was supposed to be around 4000 words and then suddenly it was 6000 and then 10,000 and now it’s up to around 12,000. And I still have more to explore. I’m hoping it will be over 50,000 words in the end. If so, it will be my first novel length horror story. Wheeee!
Anyway, the take-home message here is: getting published rocks and I need to find the energy to write more, but in the meantime I’m going to ride the good feeling of having my work out there in the world, possibly subject to terrible reviews, possibly good ones (hopefully good ones), and maybe even gaining a fan or two.
Happy Friday.
