Well, I made some decisions that may bite me in the ass. I’m not sure what happened. Maybe it’s because my characters all went out for drinks and didn’t invite me.
The meanies.
Maybe it’s because I’m avoiding opening up the work in progress and having the cursor blink at me. Whatever the reason, I made two moves that I KNEW were crazy, but I did them anyway.
First move. I sent my erotic romance (under my pen name) to Loose Id Publishing which is a step up from the places I’ve been. They use a bigger printer (distribution wise, not size wise. LOL) and have bigger sales. So, they’re tougher. Am I ready? I have no idea.
Second move. I sent my Advance Reader Copy of “Heart Of The Storm” to a well known review blog. I’m not saying who until I see if she reviews it. I sent it fully expecting her to ignore me, say “Um no way” or “Thanks for your sub, but I’m busy with REAL authors.” LOL. She didn’t. She said “Thank you. I’ll take a look at it.”
Um WHAT?
Okay, so those are the silly things I’ve done for the last week. I wasn’t even going to mention Loose Id until I knew what the answer was going to be. But I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to reveal my flaws to you all yet again.
What silly things do YOU do?

First, those are not silly things. Those are things that writers do. They are persistent about sending their stuff out because 1) they believe in what they do and 2) they know that the worst a publisher can do is say “no.”
What silly things do I do? For one, I sometimes disagree with Mrs. Lefty. After all, I’m the husband, so that means I’m automatically wrong.

I am SO proud of you! I’m gonna be on pins and needles now until we hear something!!
As for my list of silly things, well, my list of non-silly things would probably be shorter…

Disagreeing with Mrs. Lefty? NO WAY!! Say it isn’t so!
Thanks Toni Sue. And I’ll bet your list of “silly things” isn’t THAT long.

Jen, not silly at all. You’re making great career moves and dreaming big. Nothing wrong with that! All the best with your sub. My fingers are crossed for you.
