I'm Terrible at Blogs... and Good News!!

When I started this blog, I had a feeling I was going to be terrible at posting regularly. I’m not surprised that it’s been seven months since my last post. Oops! 
Two main things have been keeping me from updating this blog and from being on GA more generally.
The first is that I participated in Camp NaNoWriMo in April, and then again in July. For those of you not familiar with NaNoWriMo, it’s a writing challenge where the goal is to write 50,000 words in one month—enough for a novel.
In April and July, writers can set their own word count goals, and also join cabins to meet other writers. I was lucky enough to find a wonderful group of people also writing m/m romance and also hoping to become published, so I’ve been spending a lot of my time working with them to polish my writing.
The second thing is that I’ve been submitting my work to agents and publishers. So far, all the agents I’ve submitted to have given me rejections, which has been hard, but it’s part of the process. Some publishers have also given me rejections, but I’m happy to announce that at least one of them said yes!
Dreamspinner Press has agreed to publish one of my novellas!!! 
I’m a little shell shocked, to be honest. In fact, it doesn’t feel quite real. But I’ve got a signed contract and they’ve begun emailing me about the production process, so it must be real, right?
The book isn’t scheduled to be released until next summer, so I still have a long ways to go yet. In the meantime, I’ve been working on the sequel to Ryan and Erik's story, called Embracing the Tension. I’m in edits right now, so it’s almost ready!!
Stay tuned!
