Onward



So much has happened over the past year and when I sit and reflect on everything, I can honestly say that I am pleased for the most part with my life.

I got married to the one love of my life and that was definitely the biggest moment for me of 2011. I love you with all my heart, Adam. And I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you. You are my constant support, my rock in life, and I love you for everything you are.

Christmas was great! It was quiet and I had many days off from work which was a surprise.

I've been thinking about the coming year and how I want to change some things in my life. My goals are as follows:

-To become more healthy. I want to start back at the gym and I need to eat right again.
-To not take life so seriously. I often stress about so many things. I need to realize that nothing's perfect in life and that's okay.
-I plan on taking my writing in another direction. My focus will no longer be on erotica. I want to break into the mainstream romance and literary world. I do have a sub with Harlequin and I plan on sending them something else. I also have another big publisher in mind to sub.

I will still write erotica. I won't be giving it up completely, but it won't be my primary focus.

I have a literary novel started and I plan on finishing that and subbing it to an agent. It's a risk I feel I need and want to take.

So, that's my plans for the near future in a nutshell. How about you?

  2. That is so sweet, you and your husband. Welcome to married life. You're making a rough decision, going away from you comfortable erotic romance path and seeking an agent and everything else. You're to be commended for striking out on the new path. I wish you every good fortune. You're sure to do well!

  3. Adam- It will be :)

    Tory- It won't be easy. The competition and the wait times are killer, but there is also so much competition in the e book romance/erotica world. I find it's getting harder and harder to make any sort of name since the influx of authors is greater than ever before.
