Writery stuff - slightly old stuff.
Did a couple more submissions, including Ethos Book, a local independent publisher and Mundania Press, found via Duotrope.com.
I managed to edit and push the word count to 20,000 words, a proper novella length. So, fingers crossed again.
I also realized that the young adult market in Singapore is categorized under "Children". Young adults need their own category, because they are in a transition stage, between childhood and adulthood. Perhaps, Singaporeans (publishers, writers and readers) need to re-think the category of "Children". Are we persisting in this mind-set, because we keep seeing teenagers as children? This is a severely limiting mind-set.
