I guess an introduction is in order before I start using this thing.
My name is Lacey-Anne (in case you haven't seen it all over the place on this blog), and I'm a young still-aspiring author. My very first novella was published by Dreamspinner Press in mid-2009, and since then, I've only released one other novella and a short story. Of course, I plan to publish a lot more, it's just a matter of settling my ideas and not starting a hundred different projects at once (giving myself no time to finish the others). The plot bunnies can be quite vicious.
When I say 'young,' I do mean 'young' -- I was born in 1989. I kind of feel a little insecure and intimidated by a lot of the other authors I've seen here and there, most of whom are older and have families and whatnot. Not me. So it's hard to write about myself when I don't have kids to talk about or a partner to briefly mention. I have a cat, if that counts.
And I haven't mentioned my awkward sense of humor, have I? Oh, you're in for a treat whoever reads this!
So yeah. I don't know. This blogging thing is like a whole new world to me (minus the magic carpet ride /Disney reference). Here's to the future, and here's to hoping I can keep track of this thing!
Whoo-hoo, I get to be the first to comment! Proof that somebody is reading your blog ;-) Don't feel shy about being young... I wish so much that I'd tried to get my work published when I was younger (I guess partially because I think it was easier to get your foot in the door 20 years ago.) I've been writing forever, but it took me forever to find the courage to submit anything for publication... so good for you, for doing it!
