M-V-R-W-A

The alphabet is a journey of 26 letters...

Each letter begins a story. 
It took me almost as long researching…
Which genre to choose…
As it did editing.
All I kept reading was agents saying…
Picture your book on the shelf…
Next to other books like yours.
I then strolled the aisles of bookstores…
Talked with salespeople…
But there really only was one author—Perriti...
Who wrote similar to what I did.
But though his was horror, it was Christian fiction...
Mine however, was too dark for the Christian market.
Was it too religious to be mainstream?
Oh, what genre to choose—what to choose!
Then one day my daughter, the attorney said,
“Mom, I have a lawyer friend who’s also a writer…
She invited you to her writer group meeting….
Maumee Valley Romance Writers of America, a.k.a. MVRWA.
Maybe I didn’t know what genre my manuscript was…
But I sure knew it wasn’t romance…
However, I figured why not?
Couldn’t hurt.
Well, after going to the meeting…
One thing I learned I was, was…
Na, na, na…
Well, you’ll see tomorrow what they said through “N’s” tale.

Always, Em-Musing
