Living the Fictional Dream

For the first time since… I guess last spring… I have a couple of things out on submission. And there is one more that I queried about that I’m hoping to send out soon.

I had forgotten that feeling of anticipation mixed with panic. I’d forgotten the urge to check your email twenty times a day in the vain hope that an editor has gotten back to you.

It feels good, but it is also somewhat crazy-making.

Why do we do this, again? Oh yeah… because the stories would eat holes in our brain if we didn’t.
