We must immediately, eagerly, enthusiastically embrace the brief milestone-markers that arrive unexpectedly between long stretches of work...for the very reason that it sometimes takes so long to get those contracts and that the promise of them feels so tenuous. Besides, that way you get TWO celebrations: when you get the word, and when the contracts arrive. :-) I'm married to someone who's just the opposite. He kindly indulges me, noting that writing is very unusual because of its long unsung years in the trenches. Whichever way we lean, writers are the best at celebrating one another's successes!Storm Petrelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337494610769031999.post-61615169957990707912011-04-28T19:46:24.820-06:002011-04-28T19:46:24.820-06:00Well, I do have bad hair but I don't THINK my ...Well, I do have bad hair but I don't THINK my feet stink. Sniff. Hmmm... <br /><br />Since we all think this way I now suspect subliminal conditioning. It has to be at the conferences. But where? Which rooms? Can't be when we sleep since no one ever does. We need to start an immediate counter offensive. I'll begin now so listen carefully.<br /><br />Shannon and Julie, you're both such GIFTED, TALENTED writers!! Rinse and repeat.

I mean, we sold a book, we should be jumping for joy and dancing around the room. <br /><br />Yet, I'm too afraid to break an ankle doing so, which would lead to the ER, where they'd discover a brain tumor. And said brain tumor would prove to be the kind that creates delusional and I'd find out I never sold anything, but instead am completely crazed...<br /><br />The funny thing is, when other writers downplay their sales I want to shake them and say, YOU'RE AMAZING!!!!! So I promise not to shake you, but you are amazing and congrats on the contract. Go drink your champagne now!j.a. kazimerhttp://www.jakazimer.comnoreply@blogger.com
