I un-wait myself by working on my WIP and going running (so as to un-weight the weight I added while eating chips and cookies as I was working on my WIP, supposedly not waiting...)<br /><br />It's enough to make an author crazy.Adele Carssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15506291783024455591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026702090530441760.post-26427680129758627522012-08-23T13:16:10.300-07:002012-08-23T13:16:10.300-07:00I don't know how to make the waiting EASIER, t...I don't know how to make the waiting EASIER, though there are ways to contain the crazy that can take over while you're waiting. Write something else. Go for a walk. Give the dogs a bath. Rearrange your office furniture. Make a word cloud :D. <br />Waiting kinda sucks. Plain and simple. Contain the crazy...that's my plan. I do like Shoshanna's motto, though. A WIP, a new release and a future release all at the same time. Three lines...no waiting. <br />Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727100369547711314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026702090530441760.post-25501162065813169002012-08-23T11:39:22.206-07:002012-08-23T11:39:22.206-07:00And bless your heart for getting rid of Captcha!And bless your heart for getting rid of Captcha!Shoshanna Evershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10172269305910566840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026702090530441760.post-79666642331275849292012-08-23T11:38:48.979-07:002012-08-23T11:38:48.979-07:00I have so much to say about this but I keep writin...I have so much to say about this but I keep writing comments and deleting them.

Being a part time author allows me to accept the slow pace, like 2 years, of book moving from the author to an agent to an editor to be published and to a book store and finally to teh hands of readers. I'm not sure that the process has to be so slow, but authors must accpt the reality. So while they wait, they better have another job or write another book. You make waiting easier by .. not waiting. Do something else instead of waiting.G.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652216131823877445noreply@blogger.com
