So no words on Tuesday because I had the attention span of a stunned goldfish courtesy of a throat infection. Yesterday 378 new words. Today none, because this morning the promised edits for
Dolphin Dreams arrived, and I was working my way through three chapters at a time between breaks, that being the length of my attention span today. This turned out to be a good plan because it is also the length of my editor's attention span today, she also being ill...
The good news is that my publisher, Loose Id, was notified this afternoon that they are now an RWA-recognised publisher. This means that I am now officially published by RWA standards, and can enter their contests for published authors, and if I join the RWA (which is an organisation for both published and unpublished romance writers) I can have access to their perks for published members.
That means
Dolphin Dreams will be my first Officially Published book in the eyes of the RWA. The first book of mine which qualifies to be entered in the RITAs is an m/m/m menage BDSM erotic romance. With a couple of taboos thrown in for good measure. I couldn't have been more provocative if I'd been trying. And no, I did not do this on purpose.
And in the light of yesterday's conversation at Salon
james_nicoll, I should point out that this is a shapeshifter romance, and thus will qualify for the Pearl Awards.
