Having kind of a crappy day, here. I think I'll give up on it and just clean the house a lot.
Kate Elliot: She Just Makes Everyone Better about relationships in a community with a common goal, and the image you carry of yourself.
I hadn't thought about this is in these exact terms, but it's very true for me, too. In my head I'm still in my twenties and just starting out as a writer; nobody's read my books, nobody knows me, and nobody particularly wants to. I've been doing this for twenty years now, and part of me will always be back in that place.
Jessica Verday explains why she isn't going to have a story in the Wicked Pretty Things YA anthology The simple reason? I was told that the story I'd wrote, which features Wesley (a boy) and Cameron (a boy), who were both in love with each other, would have to be published as a male/female story because a male/male story would not be acceptable to the publishers.
I'll try to keep the "not-so-simple" reason from becoming a rant and just sum it up by saying that that was SO Not Okay with me. Read to the end of the article, where it turns out the original story would have been fine with the publishers, only the editor didn't actually bother to ask the publishers until it was too late.
