    This is not comfortable

    Sunday, November 30, 2008, 08:07 PM CST [General]

    I handed off my MS to my beloved editor (my sister) this weekend.  Now all I have to do is. . . wait.  I don't like waiting.  It's uncomfortable, and I think I figured out that it stresses me out.  I'd rather write.  But, I don't want to start another project before seeing this one through.  But this may take a long while to see through.  Oh, the agony!

    Because I'm waiting, I've started reading again.  And what better way to start again than to dive into the second-longest book I've ever seen (I find the wording of the Swedish cover particularly humorous).  Although I'm on page 380, I'm only a third of the way through.  The story rocks, by the way.

    Mikey, maybe the book should be called "Word Without End."



    Great news on the revision front. Has your sister read any of your MS previously? My wife is my editor. She's been my cheerleader too. I would never have gotten this far without her.

    Don't worry, I'm sure it won't take as long as you think to get reunited once again with your MS. Think of it as a trial separation to prepare you for the wait of acceptance letters that will come your way once its been submitted to the publishers.



    Although it's good that you've found a great diversion, don't forget to stop in for visitation with your keyboard (or pen and paper) otherwise it could get jealous and not want to cooperate for awhile once you're all together again.



    Take care, have fun and enjoy the process!
