Thoughts After Submission

Get your mind outta the gutter. I don't mean it that way. 

I'm talking about submitting a manuscript. 


I just sent my 'baby' to my editor. 
And what do I do next? I obsess. 

 I should've tweaked that scene for the twelfth time. Maybe I could have omitted that sentence, maybe even add or delete a whole paragraph? AGAIN. 

Help. I can't stop post-editing. 
Why oh why did I let my baby go?

Oh yeah. So I can allow the characters to live in the mind of readers. Or, at the least, my editor. 

So I've decided to work on the sequel. I love reading  series books. So l write'em too. Besides, a character in the book I submitted has a life to live.

 And I must write.
 And ramble.
 Obviously. 


I'm just gonna  take my mind away from my baby and create another. 
Put that submission out of my mind. No need to worry over things I have no control over. 


Yeah. Right.



Now I'm biting my nails...waiting is a bitch.








I'm starting my next book before I go crazier than I already am.

  1. I had every intention on leaving a teasing comment about making you wait *snickers* but then when I got to the "furiously typing" GIF I snorted + spit my coffee on my computer screen. Joke's on me, I guess! PS: Loving the new blog look ;)

    1. Ha. Yeah, I convulsed into giggles when I found that GIF. It's all your fault. You got me hooked on those damn things. Thanks for the feedback on my blogs new look. :) And still....I wait. :)
