Thanks to my wonderful writing group buddy Deb, I have discovered something.
My stories have a home! At least genre-wise.
So I've had this problem that I haven't wanted my stories to be marketed as adult fiction because it just doesn't sell like YA. Then I was afraid that if I marketed my stuff as YA (young adult, meaning books about teenagers) any agent or publisher who (in my dreams) took me on would tell me I had to change the age of my characters and make them teenagers (they're in their early 20's).
But apparently there is something called New Adult fiction. Hallelujah!
I know this post probably seems crazy to most of you, but I'm so happy that I have a real, official category I can put on my letter to agents when I start submitting in a few months. I'm even more excited that it's an up-and-coming kind of category that won't make me change my story! At least not that part of it. I really didn't want to write about teenagers. Not in this story, anyway.
That's all. I know my writing stuff isn't very exciting to most of my readers. Someday I'll try to remember what it's like to post something interesting!
