So, I may have done a thing. Not sure what it is going to do for me, but I am TRYING to put myself out there. And as an Introvert, it is hard to overcome the feeling of failure and rejection.
Scrolling through Facebook, I actually found an ad (because that is pretty much all that is on Facebook anymore) for a writing contest. Intrigued, I decided to click on it.
This brought me to Inkitt, a website for authors to publish original work. Cool. I scroll through everything and think to myself “What the heck. Why not submit a short novella to see what people think?”
So, without further ado, I have created a short novella called An Unlikely Romance. This follows Summer Paxton, a freshman in college who attracts the attention of the most eligible senior on campus, Ryan Scott.
But what will this contest really do for me? Not a clue. I am just hoping that someone, somewhere will like it. That someone will read it. I know that the top three winners get a publishing contract with Inkitt’s partner app, Galatea (which has amazing reads on there by indie authors by the way, but more on that a different day).
I will say, that if people do like it, I am thinking about expanding it out to a series. Currently, I have a few chapters published. Subsequent chapters being released every other day. It is slightly rushed, only because I am wanting to get it done and submitted by July 31st.
