The Return of WIP it Wednesday!

    I just realized that I have not updated this list in quite a while. . . I am so sorry. I will strive to update it at least every two weeks or so! (All hail the return of WIP-it Wednesday!) As far as writing habit, I'm writing on average 500 words a day, which I would love to improve and get to 1000 words a day within the next month. I am also very excited to have a couple of co-writes in process. . .

    Right now, I have two FREE READS finished. I did "The Question Game" (FINISHED and PUBLISHED) for last year's challenge on the Goodreads M/M, Love Is Always Write, and it was published in August 2012 and then I did the challenge again this year and produced "I Sing the Body Eclectic/ ISTBE"  (FINISHED and GOING THROUGH EDITS) which was rejected because it did not follow the guidelines, so I went back into that universe and created "The Missing Pieces" (FINISHED and PUBLISHED around August 17th), which compliments ISTBE, so my plan is to have "The Missing Pieces" as a FREE gift to the readers, turning ISTBE into a novella, and then "The Big Picture" to finish the story off.

     Regarding sold pieces, Two Tiny Secrets (FINISHED and PUBLISHED) came out in February, and then Exercising His Options (FINISHED and PUBLISHED) came out on July 5th. So, that means that once I finish revisions, I will be working on selling ISTBE, and expanding Shattered Mirrors (which was FINISHED as a short, and then advised to form into a complete novel).  A Little Lonely, which is the follow up to "Exercising His Options" is FINISHED and GOING THROUGH BETAS, and hopefully will be published soon.

AdDickTion Volume 3 - The Release, The Tour, and Ways to Get It !!!

     Ad-Dick-tion Volume Three was released TODAY!!! This is my third big release and I am so excited. This anthology features my short story, Exercising His Options.

     Marriage is already an obstacle course but this is one hurdle they never imagined. This is the story of Enver Mann and his wife Deanna, who have their marriage challenged when Enver begins to lust after someone else. . .a man.

      This steamy story will have you running to the bedroom for some alone time, or maybe, some together time with the one you love. Either way, it will provoke conversation and bring the question "What defines a marriage?" I will do a blog tour to promote the anthology (and this story) throughout all the July and August. Starting with Raven's Ramblings... http://www.ravenmcallan.blogspot.com/2013/07/ad-dick-tion-3-is-here-and-so-is-wt.html TODAY and check out the list below to see who else's blog I'll be appearing on. And if you just can't wait and you want to buy the anthology now, here's the link . .

WIP it Wednesday! Major Updates!

So. . .the past couple of weeks have flew by, with the Halloween and Thanksgiving pasting and my birthday and Christmas coming. I've tried to keep my nose to the grind stone, writing almost every day and working toward writing my new goal of 5,000 words per day. It seems the higher I aim, the more I accomplish. So I'm hoping this trend will continue. I finally sold Exercising His Options, to Breathless Press for their Ad-Dick-tion, Volume 3 which is exciting. I'll still waiting to hear back from Kris at MLR about Shattered Mirrors. I am hoping to finish off the year strong, with at least five stories being published, or in process. So, here's my WIPs updated and re organized. I want to finish at least two more shorts and work on editing Dark of Day or writing Roads Traveled during December. Those are some of my goals, which I'll be doing a post about soon, as is my annual tradition. Thanks, as always, for your continued encouragement, ass kicking, and advice. I love you, oh ever faithful reader!
