Guest post over at Ecstatic Days about Surviving the Book Contract that Wasn’t.
Booklife
So, I’m, like, a writer fighting to get my first book into stores. At least into Kindles? Published would be great. It’s been languishing, but hopefully that’ll change soonish. Anyway, I’m also an introvert. I write books. I don’t market them. I’m an introvert by nature… it’s one of the reasons I became a writer.

ME: One of the folks I know is dating one of my exes! And she unfriended me on LJ! J: Well, yanno, that’s what happens when you start dating someone. You have to unfriend all their exes on the LJ, honey. It’s, like, a rule or something. ME: But! J: It’s a RULE. ME: But!!!

I can be satisfied….
…when just *one* reader “gets” a story. I’m not sure this makes me a very marketable writer. I think we are far too in love with being mass-loved. I don’t write the sorts of stories that get me mass love. I write about machete-wielding matriarchs. It does make me wonder, tho, what all of us

The Writing Life (or, lack thereof)
I worry these days that my writing isn’t as good as it used to be, because all the choices I make seem to be poor ones. I’ll go through a story or a scene and realize that what I chose during the first pass was totally inappropriate. I keep thinking I’ve lost touch with the
