So, it’s been approximately 10 days since I received my unexpected and
rather spectacular news (i.e. an important person from a major publishing house
reading my work! *squeaks and giggles and
bounces just a bit*).
And while I’m still buzzing over the opportunity and what good things
it could mean for my career, a downside has arrived. So instead of stoically
ignoring it and glossing over it completely, I have decided to share it.
Ready?
Here it goes.
Even though it’s been only 10 days, even though I am well aware that
the cogs in the publishing industry churn very slowly with an author not yet
their own, even though a thousand things, I am still mortally disappointed
every time I check my work email and find it empty.
Isn’t that silly?
Stupid?
Sad to the point of piteous?
It wouldn’t be so bad if my OCD-tendencies hadn’t kicked in and pushed
me to checking the darn thing every ten minutes I’m online.
It wouldn’t be so bad if I had more faith in myself and in my writing
skill.
It wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t a silly, silly human being who still
wholeheartedly believes in the occasional fairy tale coming true.
*sighs*
Ok, silly, silly confession over. Time to get back to work.
Until tomorrow…
Chloe
