Almost like Austen

My journey in writing my first novel.

Corn muffins and fairies.

Posted by bukarella on June 26, 2009

This morning I had a craving for corn muffins, and less than half an hour later I had my muffins, warm and steamy. While enjoying my breakfast with butter and milk, something hit me, and I started writing a poem about a fairy. In just a few minutes it has grown into quite a tale. Now, I am not naive, I know how saturated the market is with fairy theme, yet I have a strange faith in this piece. I am submitting it tomorrow to Barefoot Publisher (as I think they would pick out just the right illustrator for this), and maybe will research a few others, but I swear… this is good. This is different. I rarely have this much faith in my writing, but this time it’s simple, and yet it feels right. Even if Barefoot doesn’t want it, I see it getting in print one way or another. 

Send me your good luck thoughts! 

One might wonder, how does the original manuscript about Lily and Renoi, and the little prince Danko benefit from this? The muffins have inspired me to be more particular about the food in the Dragonfly Island. That’s for another post though.

    well..I can’t wait to read that somewhere. My cousin drew a picture of a fairy that I love.

    I’m sure it’ll do great. I had a story like that, and when I posted it up on my critique circle the reactions were all the same.

    OMG…publish this.

    Not my usual reaction. ;)
