How I Handle Waiting.

SUB TITLE: NOT WELL.

I’m not sure this is what they meant by “doing the limbo” but there you have it.

My proposal for Book 5 is off to my editor, two of writers have finished drafts of their novels, and I AM BORED. I can’t/won’t/shouldn’t dive into the novel I want to write without a commitment from my publisher. Too much work. Too much dedication. Too much emotion. I am super proud, like a writer-mama, of my writers who showed up, did the work, and got to type The End.

But all of this at once?

What was I thinking?

Yes, TV is better than it’s ever been, and Hallmark is killing it with Fall movies this year. A Very Brady Renovation was epic in the nostalgia category and Jack Whitehall: Travels with my Father was my #1 comedy pick of the past few years.

I listen to about one audiobook per week and yesterday I read an actual book (actual being an ARC on my Kindle).

Today I am going to bathe the dog. You’re welcome.

I have started teaching a novel-writing course online but I miss the one-on-one of my long time writers. Plus, I know that no one writes from Thanksgiving through New Years — so that’s why I urge writers to get busy now and for the next seven weeks — so that on January 2, 2020 (OMG 2020!!) they’re pleased as punch instead of perturbed.
