Being Malton Milquetoast

Jan 10, 2013 01:14

Well, as of yesterday, it's official: One Night in Sixes is out on submission. I would say something here about taking up a position at the punch bowl and waiting to be asked to dance, but that is exactly the wrong kind of metaphor. Better to say that I've already got my dream date, we are already cutting one hell of a rug, and we have no plans ( Read more... )

oh man - this is good - i like it - it's a bit like trying to imagine being a rockstar with everyone singing YOUR songs back to you on stage and covering them all over youtube

i'm gonna put this in my memories so that i can reference it when i'm all done with the first draft of my wolves - i think it'd be so cool to come back and look to see if maybe i've managed such a feat

Oh, I'm glad you like it! And madam, I REALLY hope you can knock out that draft this year - it is so exciting to sit back and gaze upon a Whole Entire Thing, even when you know there will be more work to do on it, and know that you laid down every single word!

oh it will DEFINITELY happen - even if i have been procrastinating like CRAZY on even getting the outline together - UGH - why's life gotta be all gettin' in the way all the flippin' time?! =P

(5-yr-old + boyfriend i only get a couple hours a day with + housework = UGH WHERE'S MY WRITING TIME?!?)

Dudette, I think about your struggles all the time. I'm like "man, I don't even have a kid - why is it so dang hard to carve the time out and do this?"

Short answer: I dunno, but I'm starting to think that maybe our New Year's resolutions should've been quitting sleep.

What does 'out on submission' mean?

Basically, that it's being sent to editors at various publishing houses, who will generally take a really long time to reply. (The general process is pretty much the same as round 1 - sending query letters, getting rejections and requests for the manuscript and more rejections and so on - except that now it's the agent propositioning publishers, instead of me propositioning agents.)
