I’m not good at waiting. I never have been.
Publisher is launching Chasing Cold at the beginning of April. We’re in the home stretch. Received and reviewed the edits. He’s working on the pdf galleys. I’m working at securing the venue I want for the launch party. Once we have the pdf or ARCs, we’ll query the two authors we’re seeking cover quotes from. We have some press and reviews lined up and ready to go once we have copies.
I’m on the precipice. There’s this huge change coming, this wave of new and different things. And all I can do is wait.
Things take time. Any worth having is worth waiting for.
Yadda yadda yadda.
Suddenly, on the inside, I’m Veruca Salt racing around the Oompa Loompas in the room with the geese that lay the golden eggs, bellowing “I want it now!” *note to self: stay away from the scale for the time being*
I keep checking my email. It’s one of those times when having a Gmail app on my phone is not good for my low level OCD tendencies.
Breathe.
Not really working on Blind Luck either. Wrote about 50 words tonight which is just kind of embarrassing. I know what I need to do: fix the spot where I ended up writing a half chapter that is totally the opposite of my original conception of that section. I need to amp up the drama and kick the chapter into high gear. I see the scenes and the visuals. The words, they no come.
Oh, well. Shove it all into the back closet and let the subconscious pick at it a while.
And wait.
