I have news! If you noticed me being a lot less active everywhere lately, this is why… I’m going to have my writing published very soon. I’ve been trying to accomplish this since I was 16, and it’s finally happening. I’m so happy. My original stories and also my poems will be published. I just want to thank everyone for your really awesome support over the years. Even when I didn’t believe in myself, you still believed in me. Thank you for that.
As for my poetry… I know a lot of you like to read it here. Because they still belong to me, I have decided to leave them posted on DeviantArt as they are. At least for now…
In the future, however… I will not be posting very much poetry here. If you’d like to read my newest work, I will occasionally post samples. I decided to go with an Ebook publisher because I will get more royalties, and also the cost for them is much lower for the readers. And I already have a lot of people who follow my stuff online, so I thought it was a good fit. I might also be publishing some print versions later, though. I will post a new journal once they’re published, with links to my books. I don’t know what the sale price will be yet, but obviously my older stuff will be much cheaper. I’m still in the process of picking which ones I want for the books.
Also, my original stories will be published too. I write M/M erotica, (aka: Yaoi) and I’m not going to change that. I enjoy it. And apparently there IS a market for the type of content I write. So… All I have to do now is finish the one I’m currently working on. From there, I move on to the next. And no one will delete them or censor them. That makes me… so insanely happy, you have no idea.
It will take a while because I still have to compile everything together and get some book-covers ready and everything… I’m most likely going to make my own book covers for the poetry. That will be much simpler than letting them choose someone for me. I do have that option, but this way I will have more control over how it looks in the end.
Since I’m on an art site… I know a lot of people who make amazing artwork and I’d really like to be able to choose my own cover artist, instead of letting the company do that for me. So… Some time within the next year, and then later, I will be looking for a cover artist for my original stories. I also might need a few beta readers. I'll post more information about that later. For now, if you think you might be interested in either of those, please contact me about it.
