~Elation and Anxiety~ The Book submission Cycle

So submitted Book One today, which now carries the title, “Fate Knows Best”. I swear my mouse hoovered over the send button for at least a minute. Heart racing I hit the send button. Then in an instant, I started to doubt every word I typed, the plot, the characters, everything. Submission guidelines state that it could take up to four weeks for a response, I may be dead by then! I have started keeping my email up just in case a new email pops in, I can see if it’s something back from the publishing company.

Meanwhile I’m about halfway through book two, no title yet and on the downhill slide towards the ending. Then I will have to edit that and write a synopsis. Let me tell you, writing a book is easy in comparison to the synopsis. Sell your book in 300 words or less, and include a hook to draw the readers in. How about “read muh book kthnxbai” lol just kidding.

I feel like I have been working on book two for too long, I really need to buckle down, but then it’s like,,, I’m hungry, God I’m craving fresh bread for my ham sandwich, damn my pantry is a mess, where did I put the new storage containers for organizing my pantry? Oh right there next to the shelf paper I need to put in. Opps out of yeast, I’ll run to Walmart real quick. Ohhhh new books are out. I go home make the bread, organize the pantry, put down shelf liner, eat the brownies I got at Walmart and read my new books. Bread is finished, I’m not hungry and I look at the bread like ‘why did I make this again’? Then the light bulb goes off. I wince, because now I’m too tired to write. Rinse, Lather, Repeat for like a month. Then in one night while in the throes of a sugar free red bull fix I bang out 20k words.

I really need to work on my writing techniques.

Anyway, Fate Knows Best is in the hands of the publishing company and book two is almost done.

Back to the grind….I’m hungry……….

…….lol
