I am finally one of them. I am one of the winter-worn bitchers and moaners. According to the weather man I came close to making it through this winter without become a whiner...only a bit more, they say... but too late now. I've succumbed, sunk into self-pity and snarly-ness. Go Away Snow!
This mood may be more than just the weather. I am also in a waiting stage with the new version of "Witch." Or is it "Wych?" By now even I am confused. On my computer - this very one - there must be 12 versions of the book in various stages. I am afraid to get rid of any of them till we have the new final "Witch of Leper Cove" up. To complicate matters, before I decided I had to make all these changes my editor had moved on (naturally) to new projects so she is busy. I wait.
But what does this have to do with you? Well, I'm wondering, how do you manage winter and waiting? What do you do when all the work you have put into becoming the sort of person who makes things happen is useless...when you have to wait for things you can't really hurry to happen at their own pace. Somehow this feels worse than a normal "do nothing stage."
Perhaps it's just time to get to work on the next book. It's so much more fun to hang out in a story than whine. Hey thanks. Have a good writing day. Read More
