I finally heard back about my story. I heard back on the 23rd of September...so its officially one month. I guess it’s a good sign that I've had no time to blog about it. Maybe that shows I have some sort of life(different topic, so I'm getting off track here.). Anyways, so I heard back.
Sadly it was another rejection, I did better this time, about twenty minutes of crying and then I made up my mind to keep trying, and I put the rejection out of my mind and went to church. Church helped me a lot, because I had to get out and be social and happy, and I can always fake a smile in a big group. It's a talent, though when you're as hyper as I am around people, it really isn't difficult. But anyways...now what to do?
Well that's easy, keep writing. I have a ton of editing to do on my first book, and I'm in the middle of my second one and onto the outlining stage of the next four books. So I'm not without work to do. But I've recently been thinking about what kind of books I want to write, I know I can write romance, anyone who has the smallest depth of emotion can write a romance, it might not be particularly good, but that doesn't mean they didn't write it.
Then this thought came to me, do I want to always write romances? The answer to that...well I love my romances, but I think I'd like to try other genres. I've written a mystery(a rather pitiful little story in my opinion), and I'm on my romance kick. I've got many different story plots, but most are for romances. I do have a fantasy idea that I'm trying to work on. Well actually I have two fantasy ideas, which isn't bad.
Now comes the tough choice. When I finish my second romance, do I take a break from romances and work on fantasy or do I do both at once. I'm not sure yet, I guess when I get there I'll figure it out. With my new mind set and deadline, I need to get to work.
Until then, thanks for reading Laney's Thoughts...
