While your work can include other genre elements, Crimson
Romances must focus first and foremost on a hero and heroine’s emotional
journey together towards love. Romances, by nature, must be between
consenting adults and have a happily-ever-after or at least happy-for-now
ending.
They’re also interested short romance stories for their Subverted
Fairy Tale Anthology: According to the editor, their submission call for
10,000- to 30,000-word romances based on classic fairy tales but subverted in
fun, fresh, original ways remains open
until June 1. See their submission page for more info.
cj Sez: I’m still
mulling potential titles for my finished novel, and that keeps me un-focused on
my current work. I sat down at the computer about 4:30 this afternoon. It is
now 8:00, and I have mopped the kitchen floor, baked a pound cake, washed
dishes, and created two new paragraphs and five new lines of dialogue for my
lady detective. They must be important lines because I’ve polished them at
least a few times.
Of course, I’m also having to fend off a half-inch-long
mosquito that sneaked into the house when I went out to feed the cats. The
spring hatches of black and white, Asian tiger mosquitos are very aggressive
biters. The insect is described as being a quarter-inch long. Not the
blood-thirsty little devils in my yard. . . . Got her!
Time to go drizzle a glaze on the cake, and then I’ll get
back to the story. I promise.
Okay, you-all guys keep on keeping on, and I’ll try to do the
same.
