Proposals

Before last week the only thing I had sold on proposal was my story idea for one of Cobblestone Press's Vampire Oracle Cards. I didn't, and still don't, know how to write a good proposal.

I do know that before I write every book I make a quick outline of what I want to happen. And write a quick blurb about the characters. I make a collage of images...then off I go. It's worked so far.

But earlier this week I sold 2 more stories to Changeling Press...on proposal. I am shaking in my boots. I have to write the sequel to my first book then I will polish off those two bad boys. * I hope *.

Man, those deadlines look so close. LOL. A lot of poeple know what I mean

News! News! News!

What could be worthy of a title like that one?

I sold. I know ... I have already sold to Cobblestone Press. No...what I am trying to say is that I SOLD to another publisher.

Yep...I sold a short called 'Soundwave's Submission to Changeling Press. I am happy dancing all over the place! I love the feeling, that rush, you get when you open up the reply to your submission and there is a contract attached.

Whoo-Hooo baby!

Finished!

Yesterday afternoon I finished my second superhero/villian story. This one is targeted to EC's Topaz (November) Jewel series. I am happy with the ending. It takes place over a 3-4 day span so there is no 'I love you' at the end of the story but there is a vocal agreement to stay together and see where they end up.

I love this story, but it needs a series edit. Maybe two. I will have this done and shipped off the EC before the deadline. It an I/R story...hot sex, and a bigger problem that has to be answered in the sequel.

You might be checking out the new digs. Well, I have updated the blog to look like my new website...which goes live tomorrow. I did it myself and it was a bit crazy. It looks good, but it is a little graphic intense. If you have dail-up I apologize. But when you see the picture on the left you'll understand why I just couldn't skimp on the quality...he's LICKABLE!

Okay...tomorrow...New website live and I am blogging about it over at The Romance Studio.

4 Minutes to Save the World

Okay. I am in the middle of writing the first story in a trilogy about super heroes and villians. Last week I ran across this song by Madonna and Justin Timberlake with Timberland. I swear it fits my story to a T.
You have go to listen.




That's right...4 minutes. This is my new theme song.
