#AmWaiting

Writing & waiting. That is the life of a writer.
#amwriting #writingcommunity #amwaiting

Edits done, manuscript with beta readers, month and a half deadline. Feeling like an empty nester!

All I want to be doing is DRAFTING, but I have considerable prepro work left on my next story idea before I can properly dive in 😩

Yes please. #AmWaiting

I'm in that phase of work where all my immediate deadlines have been met and I'm just waiting for things to trickle back in from clients. It's nerve-racking and unavoidable. #AmEditing #AmWriting #AmWaiting

It feels like I'm doing a lot of waiting around these days. Waiting to hear back from agents. Waiting to hear back about competitions, about that short story that was going to be pubbed ages ago. And all of it is out of my control. Best I can do is find something else to do.

Look! I said something clever over on the angry place!

But more importantly: @charliegreythorn.bsky.social is hilarious and seems fun. Let’s give her bsky account lots of loves and follows so she plays over here too 💕😽

So… say someone likes your manuscript.

And you are worried they *might* dislike your social media presence.

How do you subtly suggest:

“Call me Phoenix, cause I’ll burn this shit to the ground if you make me an agent offer.”

Just submitted what was more or less my pandemic project to 5 presses today. (Not academic, so simultaneous submissions are fine.) I have about 10-12 other places picked out to submit over the course of the calendar year and my fingers firmly crossed that one of them wants it! #amwriting #amwaiting

As per my previous email, I was freaking out over nothing like always. The tracking was updated this morning, and my proof copy is ON TRACK to be delivered tomorrow! 😍😍

Second manuscript off for developmental edit. #amwriting #amediting … #amwaiting.

I've sent my latest revised novel to 11 readers, including 4 YA aged folx. Now I need to work on something else so my anxiety doesn't shred me. I've got a short story that looks promising.

Back to submissions. I won't see any responses until after Christmas, but that's ok! I won't spend my holiday waiting for emails! #amquerying #amrevising #amwaiting

Need to do final edits for something that absolutely has to be done tonight.

Main computer decided to run an hour-long software update, iPad has to charge, work laptop also needed to charge and once plugged in refused to display the file.

Well then.

#amwaiting

I want to say I #amwriting. Really I'm waiting for my readers to get back to me with their feedback on my novel. So I guess I #amwaiting.

Yeah, this was less stressful when I was half awake. #amwaiting #stagefright
