NOTE: This blog has nothing on it at this point to make it adult rated, so even though the title says Erotic Love Stories, it is safe to read anything on this blog right now. When that changes, this blog will be labeled adult only, but for now it is safe to read for anyone.
In December I put a Christmas story on hold because I knew it missed all the deadlines for submissions. I thought I would go ahead and finish it and set it aside until it was time for this Christmas. Well, that time is now upon me. One publisher that I checked with has June 1st as a deadline for Christmas Romances. Needless to say, I didn't finish it in December when I wanted to. I got busy on my other current work in progress and kind of forgot about the other one.
I opened it up the other day and started reading it so I could catch up with the story and finish it. It's almost to the end in first draft. So, my dilemma now is to either get to it and try to get it written, edited, and revised, or not worry about it right now, and continue with my current one. The Christmas story would have to be sent to an editor because this publisher wants near perfection, and if I'm finishing it in a hurry, I want to make sure it's near perfect when I submit. So, therein lies my dilemma. I have two editor friends, but I don't even know if they have time to fit a new book in.
I have searched other publisher websites and didn't find anything about submitting for the Christmas season. Maybe they will put out a call for submissions, and I will still have time. I'm the only one who can make this decision. It wouldn't be bad to make this decision, but it only piles on top of all the other decisions I have to make at this point in my life. In the meantime, I'm definitely working on making these decisions and then following through. I'm not a quitter, so one way or another, one of these stories will be completed shortly.
