Thursday Lists

Things Which are NOT Awesome:

1. Waiting, especially when you hope you're waiting for great news from an amazing publishing company
2. Waking up at 3 a.m. with an intense craving for chocolate milk. Thanks, Impending Child
3. Watching my husband drink a glass of wine to relax, while I'm the one working on edits after a 10 hour day. Impending Child, I'm thinking about pushing your 21st birthday back by 9 months, just out of spite.


Things Which are, in fact, Awesome:

1. Waiting, especially when you hope you're waiting for great news from an amazing publishing company
2. Sneaking contraband frozen yogurt into my local Panera while I work on edits. If this is my only vice, then I feel like I'm really ahead of the game. (FYI, this is not my only vice.)
3. Buying a Chewbacca onesie for the Impending Child. My kid will rule, from day one. Do not try to argue with this logic.

Shame, and the Shameful People Who Experience It

It's been a shamefully (already notice a trend in today's theme?) long time since I've updated my blog. So, in a very intense "waiting-period" (which has seriously only last one day...I'll explain later), I'm blogging!

The biggest news since this blog started: the Impending Child. (Kind of a ominous name for my as of yet identity-less child. I kind of like it.) That's right folks - as if the full-time job and the query process weren't enough, I'm also dealing with the full-time responsibility of feeling queasy. Thanks, Impending Child.

The second biggest news: I now have an agent, an awesome woman at an awesome agency.

Yes!!!!
