I hate waiting. I'm normally a patient person, but when it comes to the publishing world, waiting drives me mad!
Waiting on offers...
Waiting on contracts...
Waiting on paychecks...
Waiting on edits...
Waiting on release dates...
Waiting on author copies....
Waiting....waiting...waiting....
You would think once you finally sell a book, you would get used to it. Not so. I still suck at waiting :-)
I am sooooooo excited that book two CORPSE IN THE CRYSTAL BALL comes out in two weeks! I can't wait to hold a copy of the actual book in my hands. There is nothing in the world that compares to that feeling...except maybe walking into a bookstore and seeing your pride and joy sitting on the shelves. Nope, not even that....NOTHING compares to holding the book you've worked so hard for in your hands for the very first time :-) Seeing all the hard work that an entire team of people have done finally come to life as a finished product.
And then more waing happens...
Waiting for the review to come in...
Waiting for sales numbers to come in...
Waiting to find out if it finaled in any awards...
Waiting to hear if it wins any of those awrads...
Waiting (and praying) that it does as well as the last book (or better :-)...
Waiting...waiting...waiting...
I don't care how long you've been in the business, it never ends.
So how do you all feel? What do you hate waiting for the most?

I can't stop looking outside and jumping every time a truck goes by, hoping and praying it's my author copies!
Eeeek...I'm so excited!
Okay, back to waiting :-)
You're not the only one who hates waiting.
Right now I'm waiting for content edits from one person while waiting for presubmission edits from another.
And royalties from another.
I hate waiting.
It's the worst. I can't focus on anything else...ugh!
