Failure is on the Horizon
I'm moving into a year of growing focus. Failure is more likely than success. JK Rowling was rejected twelve times before she finally found a publisher willing to accept Harry Potter. I'm hoping my odds are better, but because I'm going for very niche writing, it's unlikely. I want to see the lesbian and gay characters grow in abundance. Not as side characters, but as main characters reflecting journeys I've heard, and even experienced myself. There is such a need to explore more than what has been previously produced where characters have just a hint of queerness or they like to dabble in that area. I want full blown weirdness on the fantasy/sci-fi realm with some sensuality exploring things in a way that it will go mainstream. More on this later, but we will see how things continue with poetry and poetry book submissions for now.
