The Sad Reality

I can*t write paranormal. It*s true. I stink at it. Isn*t that sad? I tried, however, I can admit to you, my friends, that I was a big fat failure. I got a big ole fat *rejection.* But, I must admit that I don*t feel too bad about it. I rushed it, didn’t spend as much time as I could developing that other world, and it showed in the final product. What I think I might do now is revamp it and make it a regular contemporary. Now this is what I am good at. I might try another paranormal one day when I really feel like taking the time out to delve into creating that other world, but right now, I have to confess, I*m just too freakin* lazy to do it. Now that I*m back at work, my time is really short and valuable when it comes to writing. And when it comes to paranormal, it you want it to be really good, you have to take the time that paranormal deserves and frankly…I ain’t got it. LOL

At least you tried and the experience may come in useful when you decide to write a paranormal again.

Congrats honey!! Love your covers :) Rejections aren’t fun, but they are great tools to help you polish up the story. I find my best stories are contemporaries, even though I love vampires and paranormal stories. *shakes head*

Hang in there! It’s cool that you think you can still reuse it for something contemporary. And hey, don’t forget about the incubus…

Sorry about the R, Lyric. Paranormals are hard, futuristics even harder (to me anyway). At least you have a plan for it!

Yea on the release next week! :)
