Novel submission 52,135 or thereabouts

As the storyteller behind the supernatural tales, I recently took a leap of faith by submitting my latest masterpiece to a prestigious literary agency. This submission marked the culmination of a four-year-long quest, during which I diligently pitched my novel to various agents, hoping to find the perfect literary home for my creations. The question that loomed large was whether to continue seeking validation through traditional channels or to venture into the world of self-publishing.

The internal conflict was palpable, the choices daunting. Should I persevere in the traditional route or take matters into my own hands? I laid bare my thoughts and emotions surrounding this crucial decision. I confessed to the love and responsibility I feel towards my characters, particularly the vampires and witches inhabiting my paranormal world. The idea of leaving them in the shadows, without a voice to share their tales, became an unbearable thought.

My vampires would never forgive me

“My vampires would never forgive me, and I dread to think about what the witches would do! Their stories need to be told. They need to be enjoyed. The human vampire hunters need to be feared. And so I will not back down,” I declared.

This declaration goes beyond a mere commitment to my craft; it is a promise to my readers – those who revel in the mysterious, the magical, and the macabre. I am not just an author; I am a bridge between worlds, bringing to life characters that defy the ordinary and challenge our perceptions of reality.
