Guest Blogger Angelina Rain
Currently I'm joyous to present guy author and BLOGGER ANGELINA Rain.

She has a adjacent fleeting story "The Problem Plus Glorify Spells" coming out in the compilation "Reprehensible Encounters" in two fleeting time, 2-9-11! Angelina else has a up to date romance under notice.

Here's what Angelina has to say about the turbulent roadway to publication:

YOU SOLD A Lead. NOW WHAT?

You've worked over it, stressed over it, possibly the same base a few grey hairs as of it. So what is this "it"? The book you worked so hard to sign up, edit, and submit. And what do you get for all that hard work? A "Blessing, but no recall," letter. It's calamitous, essence strong, and it makes you miracle will you ever get nearby.

I've been very source as I haven't had to deal with rejection upon rejection. My very first two submissions led to contracts. During, I will be talking about my fleeting story "The Problem with Glorify Spells" which is included in the "Reprehensible Encounters" m'enage compilation.

At the same time as I opened "The Headset" packages, I effect I was dreaming. Could my fanatical fleeting story in essence be good heaps for publishing? I base it hard to stake taking into account it took all of three time from as of to sign up it to bring to a close the editing. Woo Hoo! All the hard work is over, I effect while do its stuff my happy dance. Boy, was I wrong!

The first valiant of edits dressed in just time previously I signed the notice. They hail me to be professional with the edits in about a week. Notwithstanding the edits looked alarming, all they in essence limited to a small area were sentences that possibly will be coupled to indomitable better. My second valiant of edits was zip up compared to the first and it only took me five report to fix that. As a consequence the state came. All that editing was the easy work.

I intellectual that being an author is not just writing the book. You include to subsidy it too. The publisher does their portion by carriage your book out for reviews, but what about the people who don't read reviews? How can you sell the book to them?

A guy author conversant me of social media. It's a great way to attract readers. I would need to blog more than, and facebook, chirp, goodreads. The list of social media sites is large and you include to make yourself plain. Yicks! Me, visible! But I include far-reaching social anxiety. I was already relaxed to blogger, and I the same had a few partners who didn't think my posts were thin. Couldn't I just withdrawal it at that? No. I had to be plain so I shaped that dreaded facebook tone and that chirp rendering I not very use.

Besides the dreaded social media, I had to produce a website. That turned out to be scarier than social media sites. All web hosts grant free templates. Preset templates that just didn't fit my needs. And my image of web conception and HTML is confined to worried colors and calculation the pink total. I had the gamble of paying superstar to conception it, but I'm so impoverished I possibly will only mean extensive meal at McDonalds'. So I sooner or later hypothetical the website, in the face of it's simple and thin looking.

So I'm professional, right? NOPE! Now, the usual promoting of the book. The giveaways, the blog tours, the guest appearances at a great deal blogs. *Fainting* Impending up with irrational stuff to portion about individually and my roadway to notice. And the ticker... I only include two weeks to wrench it off. But... But I'm thin. I don't include a laid back life. I don't include fun stuff to portion.

That social anxiety base a way to creep in. To the same extent if people don't like me? To the same extent if I sign up something stupid and dishonor myself? Let fall, what if people honestly buy the book and read my fleeting story... And loathe it? Or is it drop if people love it, but something extremely I sign up previously is majestic that possibly will never be published? To the same extent if I'm a one book wonder? Yicks! Is it too late to creep under a beat and live nearby for the at that moment ten or twenty years?

So what did I learn from my first publication? Newspaper writing the story is the easy part. Via the notice arrives, it's all easy. It's writing, editing, having far-seeing opportunity. So to all the unpublished writers out nearby. Enjoy it. Enjoy every story you sign up, all the characters you produce, all of the writing decisions you make. It's the fun part of the job, the usual writing.

Angie's Fun Facts: According to my grandma, I'm joined to Honore de Balzac (1799-1850), a French biographer.
