Author's Check-in #11

[Lupine]

^With the publishers I mess with it's often the other way around. Not good if they get back too quickly.

[Jim Gamma]

Another 2.5k done.

[RJDiogenes]

^^ Tereena was quite a rebel in her younger days.

I got a rejection on April Fools Day. Woo.

But are they serious?

[Jim Gamma]

^Yes, she was! She's being put through the wringer in book 10 now.

[blablover5]

Emailed my romance publisher and she's super excited about my random ideas. Gonna take a day off before plunging back into NaNo to keep sane.

[Lupine]

^That sounds promising. I should do romance. Maybe I can have a love triangle between a vampire, bigfoot, and a proctologist,

[RJDiogenes]

I was thinking about a Robot Romance in the vein of Asimov's "Robot Dreams" and "Robot Visions," but The Orville kind of beat me to it.

[blablover5]

Good luck. The new rule in romance is if you want to survive you have to put out a book a month. And it is crammed full of scammers far more than any other genre.

[RJDiogenes]

Write a Romance novel every month?! That's a whole lotta hugs and kisses.

[blablover5]

I broke ground on my Fallen Cupid story and made a stand-in cover just to entertain myself with.

Got to keep it under 75K. Got to keep it under 75K.

[RJDiogenes]

Nice. I see the suggestion of Heaven inside the frame and the suggestion of Hell outside of it.

[blablover5]

The "hell" was made with a combo of a sunset and pile of red roses.

Oh, I also got an illustration of Gavin & Hayley to put in my Squire Hayseed book. Then I colored it.

[RJDiogenes]

Very cool. That is pretty much how I pictured them.

[blablover5]

I entered Variel in the character battle too as they were asking for more. I have like three or four in them now.

[RJDiogenes]

I suspect Variel will make mincemeat of the other characters.
