(no subject)
I woke up this morning thinking about friends I've had spectacular falling-outs with. There aren't many of them -- three come to mind -- but they were definitely spectacular.
It isn't uncommon for me to wake up thinking about them. There's only one that I've really let go of, so the other two are still people that I think about and hope are doing well -- despite the fact that I have little to no interest in actually speaking to them.
I've spent some time wondering: if someone hurt me so badly that I was in near-hysterics for weeks (or months) before finally distancing myself from them, why the hell do I care now that they're succeeding in life? But there you have it, I do. Very, very strange.
Anyway. It keeps spinning around in my head, but all just the same stuff over and over, so I guess I'll leave it there for now.
Other stuff -- the Dragon Series (my m/m fantasy series) has the second story coming out next week, and I've been marketing the hell out of it. I really like it -- it's just so much fun. The series as a whole has been approved -- with glowing colors -- by Shawn, the big wig at Torquere. (She and her wife are, I believe, the owners.) And my editor says she's become a fangirl. :D That does me more good than anything, since my editor's the one always poking holes in it! *laughs*
I've had two Torquere LJ days in the last week, doing various promotions but focusing often on the Dragon Series, another day coming up on the 17th (when Dragon Traders comes out), a blog day on the... I dunno, 23rd or something, a promo story coming out on a review site, and an excerpt coming out on a different review site. IT'S AWESOME. I love this series so much. I really want it to do well, because it's brilliant and funny and actiony and fantasy and it makes me happy. :D
I'm also still working on the off-the-wall fantasy I told you guys about recently, and it also makes me happy, whether or not I ever find a publisher for it. The real question is becoming: do I finish the dualogy now, while it's in my head, or write something that has a better shot of getting published and try to come back to this later, if it ever has a shot at being published, and same thing with the romance novel I've... pretty much lost interest on? Right now I'm just going to finish this one and see how I feel then. I'll probably start sending it out to see if I can't find an agent (never know unless I try, right?), along with the romance novel that IS complete, and then decide what to start on next. Hmmmm. Good times.
Now, off to write some more. :)
