My Brain Exploded at 4. As in AM.
Insomnia isn’t normally something I enjoy. I mean, hello. Like anyone who finds themself wide the fuck awake in the middle of the night…it’s Not. Fun.
At least I’m off today from the job that pays the bills?
But I had a huge Come to Jesus moment last night in regards to my writing and all this submission shit of stories I’ve been putting myself through.
I kept going back and forth over submitting stories, submitting micro fiction, stopping the submitting because the rejects were piling up. Or I was running out of places to submit to. Or, or…or…..
Granted, since I started this writing adventure and submitting stories two years ago, I’ve had 17 stories published. (ok, 14. 3 are due to be published later this year) I’ve got a fan fiction story on here that never found a home.
I’ve been working on writing and editing my Harold and Sallie stories (also on here, just follow the link up top cuz I’m too lazy to include it) because I want to publish their story in book/ebook form at some point.
I’m taking that trip to Vegas 1 later this year to that writing conference. That will probably answer a lot of my publishing/writing and everything in between questions that are piling up.
Yes, I have a point…sorry. Easy to get side tracked. Thanks ADD.
Why not just take the fucking plunge and go ahead and to quote that Nike ad, JUST DO IT. Publish all those stories I’ve written. Including the ones that have yet to find a lit mag home. What the fuck am I waiting for?
While I certainly edited the fuck out of all these pieces before I even submitted them, they could probably use some tweaking. I’m in no hurry (okmaybei’dliketohavethisdonebyVegastrip), I’ll mainly be doing all this on days I’m off.
I don’t know if I want to go the Amazon route. I haven’t even gotten that far yet. I do have an idea for a working title and a rough idea of the book cover.
I just know I need to get the fuck off my ass and get these stories out there.
My husband thinks I’m fucking crazy to fly anywhere right now. But it’s still six months out and I’ve got my ass covered if I have to cancel so I won’t lose money
