What are you writing now?

Share with us whatever it is you are working on now! Original fiction? Fanfiction? Poetry? Articles? Script? Tell me about it!

I have a ton of short stories that I'd love to finish, iron out and send somewhere to try to get published, as well as (in the much more distant future) a few novels. I consider myself pretty rooted in the fantasy genre (with some sci-fi as well), which is what my novels would be easily classified as... but weirdly, my short stories are pretty much non-genre or simply human drama. I have one developing fantasy novel in particular that's really shaping itself, but the more I work on it, the further away from finishing it I seem.

I also write articles for a local newspaper, but that's basically limited to community events or opinion pieces.

How about you guys?

Good luck with your editing! I have finished lots of stories but I'm terrible at editing. I always get too distracted by shiny new ideas to go back and fix up the ones that are already done.

I like the sound of your story too.

Thanks!

Editing is definitely a different process. I do have plenty of ideas ready to distract me, but I'm not giving myself the option this time because I'm going to seek publication. Still trying not to think about that stage, gah.

Oh wow, good luck!

I've recently decided that I want to try the publishing thing too. I've been looking into small LGBT publishers since they are most likely to publish the kind of stuff I write. I have a friend who got her first book published with one of them last summer.

Nice. Mine has a bit of lesbian romance, but I'm hoping someone mainstream will like it. I'm going to try the whole agent route, at least to start, since that's what I've wanted since I was little. If this one fails miserably there, I'll regroup and see what's next. I can't help that ego desire to see it on a shelf in the store.
