I had many times I worried I'd die before I typed the end. I guess we are both overly dramatic.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy the manuscript. ;-)<br /><br />Oh, and I love Depeche Mode!Kim Bullockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100854132576647442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-62742758469925283572012-03-30T08:56:35.407-05:002012-03-30T08:56:35.407-05:00Kim, thanks for posting this link on Facebook, whe...Kim, thanks for posting this link on Facebook, where I check in 1 to 2 times per day to see what friends & writers are doing.<br /><br />This waiting for readers time can feel edgy. This is why I started writing short memoir and short stories. They keep my mind off the marinating and stewing over my novel drafts.Deborah Taylor-Frenchhttp://dogleadermysteries.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-38645657914858129992012-03-30T08:47:19.799-05:002012-03-30T08:47:19.799-05:00"Shortly before Carl died, he commented to Ma..."Shortly before Carl died, he commented to Madonna that it felt “wonderful to be empty.” I have a new understanding of what he meant now."<br /><br />There's something really powerful about this, Kim. I got pretty sick when I was nearly done with the first draft of the trilogy. And being the overly-dramatic writer, I remember thinking, 'I hope I don't die before I get this story out.' When I finished--kooky as it may sound--there was definitely a feeling of relief, almost bordering on, 'Okay, whatever happens now, at least I got it down.' <br /><br />I know the feeling on the hurry up and wait during submissions. Thankfully I have a wonderful manuscript to read while I do my waiting. ;-) As Depeche Mode put it: Enjoy the silence.vaughnroycrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01548482765292623807noreply@blogger.com
