Hi,
A friend gave me this (what I thought was a) great idea for a story but my brain immediately jumped into something way too big for a single story. I've got 3 chapters published by using 2 different editors and my last editor hasn't answered my inquiry of availability to the next chapter I have ready.
I'm not used to this. For years I had the same editor at my fingertips but life interfered and we both took a break. She's now unavailable and I'm just lost at managing to find and keep an editor. I'm beginning to think that life sucks for everyone and not just me. (insert raging laughter here)
It's this series: https://www.literotica.com/s/sister-cities-ch-01 or that is Chapter 1 of the series. Not really required reading for editing purposes, just for information. (and a shameless plug for readers as I had no idea how few reads a story listed under "novellas" would get) Chapter 4 has 4950 words and is a large time jump from Chapter 3. (Each chapter will jump time due to the nature of the characters.) It's a fantasy? urban fantasy? not quite sci-fi sort of thing. Definitely an alternate world with a vampire-ish theme but no blood or biting involved. Nothing overly weird, nothing gruesome. (vampire is not really accurate but the closest I could get for reference)
This chapter has an older woman/younger man scene and then a female/female/male scene - light on the female/female parts.
I checked the "available for February" post and found no one at all listed. So... since it seems most writers looking for editors were just tossing themselves out for bait, I thought I would too.
And no, I just can't keep it short and simple. Sorry for the long rambling post.
Thanks for reading this. If you can help, let me know. I always think my writing should be an easy edit and I'm always proven how wrong I am.
SEE! I CAN'T SHUT UP!!!
Thanks
