Halfway there to the goal...

[desiresdd17]

I or would that be we are 13 away from our goal to be accepted and or published 20 times with 3 sole author books. The muses have made the sole author bit easily now we need more stories to be liked. Its wonderful to be loved... :P

I know I could've saved this for the update but I couldn't hold it in till Monday. Being a published author is something I never thought possible and now, I know its more than a dream. Its reality.

I couldn't be more thankful to all 6 of my publishers! They've assisted me in this goal that I set for myself earlier this year, which is a pretty decent achievement.

I set out to have 20 accepted or published stories for 2011 3 of which were to be sole author books. Right now, I have 7 pubbed with 3 sole authors coming out. One next week, A Second Chance, My Lieutenant will be out in the fall, and Something New on the Menu which is only awaiting a rewrite and then my pub will put it out as a standalone.

That doesnt even count the 7 I have still waiting on the decision and the almost half dozen I am writing.

I know a big part of my success is EPublishing where many of my fellow authors may not even get a shot if not for the wonders of this great invention. Would I have made it if there was no epub? I doubt it, unless I were writing for magazines and then, even for that the competition is stiff.

Am I even good enough for what we call, New York publishers. Nope. I know that. I'm barely good at this. *laughs* I prefer to stay grounded because there's so much more to learn and in a lot of cases the things that have gotten accepted I wanna bang my head against a wall because I know I could've done better.

The key is learning and growing and that's what I set out to do.

Why do I love writing? I love my muses, and my muses love to torture me. *grins* The writing goals are a few of the biggest ones Ive accomplished in my life. For that I can be proud and I thank my pubs for the faith in me...

Okay, off the personal pat on the back trip and back to writing!
