Waiting

Except for the constant stream of rejection, I think the waiting has to be the hardest part of being a writer. Maybe that and the sacrificing time with friends and family to write. And the lack of sleep. And crying when you kill off one of your favorite characters. And being frustrated when a story just isn't working out right...

Anyways, I'm still waiting. I have to say, so far, I'm completely surprised by who has shown an interest in the manuscript and who hasn't. The agents I thought were likely to request it haven't and the agents who I thought were longshots asked to see more. We'll see if that trend continues. Until then, another Hawaii photo. So pretty. So so peaceful.

  1. I just signed with one of my long-shots - such a long shot I almost didn't put the query and sample in the mail. Eight days later he called and asked for the full. Three days later he offered.

    Best $1.95 I ever spent.
