I've decided to start a weekly (I hope) update of my works in progress in an effort to motivate myself to focus more. I've been jumping between stories and accomplishing very little of anything. Well, probably more than I think, but no where what I could be doing. So, here's what I've been working on for the past month and why I've been working on them.
1) Multi-cultural contemporary romance: This story is intended to be my first, full-length book. It is one of the first stories I wrote, and as such, in need of much revision. Additionally, I decided to emphasize the multi-cultural elements in an effort to make it easier to sell. I have Loose-Id in mind, but I worry it might not have enough heat. I work on it because I really, really, really want to finish a full-length.
2) M/M/F story set in the world of Elysia: This story was originally going to be part of the Mates of the Guardians series, but as I've worked on the series, I realized it is actually the beginning of a whole new series of potentially full-length books. I don't have any particular publisher in mind, but it is hot. I work on it to polish my erotica writing skills.
3) Eallair's story for the Mates of the Guardians: This story was rejected because of the opening scene. I have since rewritten it and like it much better. But, of course, I now have to go through the story in its entirety to see what needs polishing. I work on it because I'd like to get one more submission/contract for the year.
Sounds like you have great things in the works, Emma! Good luck to you!
