Try some; it's good.

Wherein I ramble about books, movies, music, TV shows, my life, and occasionally, hot emo boys.

waiting sucks

Just ask this monkey. He's been hanging around his tree all day, waiting for some exciting shit to happen, and he's still waiting.

I had a big old long ~~whine~~ rant on this subject ready to go, and then I reread it, and realized it stank of authentic authorial panic, so I sent it to Bam instead. She has now encouraged me / told me off (the lines often blur with her) and I feel a lot less like eating a pot pie and refusing to leave the house for a week.

So I'll just leave the title as the complete encapsulation of my current state. Waiting sucks.

Hmmm, this must be going around. A spring fever of some kind, perhaps?

I'm with you! Waiting sucks. But sometimes, there's nothing else you can do but wait.

Good luck on your waiting. I bet you look a lot prettier than this monkey while doing it.

Maybe it -is- spring fever, Jac.

First thing in the morning, Bonnie, the monkey wins, no contest. Hehe.

And...

The wait is over. Watch this space in the next week or so for details.

SQUEE!

I hate waiting for things to happen, too. I am more than caught up on stuff now because nothing has been coming in over the transom in the last couple of weeks, but I just know that when something FINALLY does come in, it will be 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag.

"10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag."

I am so stealing that, April. That's AWESOME.

Erica... keep an eye on the blog, girl. I said all I intend to say. For now. ;)

Feel free. :) The fiance says it all the time (he's a bad influence on me!), and I have no idea where he got it.

April said...

Oh, yeah, and another word for the same thing is blivit.

Thanks, April. Now I can entertain people with my enhanced vocabulary. :D

Keira, the first monkey represented my outlook earlier today.

This is me now.

Yes, waiting sucks. LOL, get used to it because it happens all the time. You hurry and hurry and then you send it to your agent or she sends it to an editor (or you send it to your editor) and then you wait.

and wait

and wait some more and then you wait again.

Oh sure, you talk yourself into believing you don't even remember there's a manuscript out there! You're so busy writing and living your life you hadn't even thought of that book you worked your ass off writing. Snort. Not so much.

I hope you hear good news very soon.

I too, am currently partaking in a bit of the ol' suckitude that is waiting, so scooch on over and let me sit on the bench.

That's it. Scooch faaaaaar over. Because I'm not sitting anywhere near the scary monkey. Look at his eyes. *_* He's evil, I tell you. *shivers*
