Got the second acceptance email of the day. My story with the hero with the best name ever got accepted for the debut/launch issue of a new Romance magazine. First issue will come out Sept 1, 2010 and my alter ego will be a part of it. I’ve chosen to use my pen name as that is the name I’ve chosen to use for romance work. So, this one, called One Night in Costa Rica, will be credited as Jillian Chantal.
Had a goal to get 500 words done on the new short story last night and got very close to 3000 done. Not really happy with the ending so I have to work on tweaking that. Have the whole thing done (since it must be under 4000 words)- just need to edit and play with the end. I’ll send it to Whortleberry Press, where I’ve been published twice before. This is a romance story again- Rated PG as that’s part of the guidelines for the anthology. This one is an anthology of “Free Range Fairy Tales.” Should be a fun group of stories. Reminiscent of the old “Fractured Fairy Tales” television show. Anyone besides me remember that show?
Have decided I need a pen name. http://jillianchantal.wordpress.com/
I will still post here as I am using the pen name for the romances. My literary short stories will continue under my real name. I shall become bi-polar.
