Is it a memory trick or is it me?
I remember taking my children to the lake. Brown berry babies playing at the waters edge, exclaiming over their latest treasure, coming up to me for more snacks and to show me what they found. So I thought I would take the current crop of babies to the lake. Not even close. Kids hated getting too far away from me and hovered next to the blanket kicking sand on everything. Didn't know how to play alone. Baby wanted to eat sand and screamed for three hours because I wouldn't let her. I must have said "go play," 500 times.
Another illusion shot.
Am wavering between working on HOT and LOOKING FOR LAGUNA. Sigh. Thought I was ready to tackle an adult romance, but the teens of Laguna are louder. Teens are always louder. Of course, at the moment, I'm not finding time to write much of anything.
My agent is going to wait until September to pitch LIPS. Said she doesn't want to pitch anything so good in the month of August. So I will trust her judgement and wait. Maybe I will luck out and final in the Pasic contest. Not holding my breath, though. A lot of talented authors entered.

I would have let her eat sand. There's a lot to be said by learning through experience. ;o)
Oh, man, Miriam said basically the same thing about Stray in December. "Let's wait until after the New Year, when people are actually paying attention."
It worked. Fast.
I hope it does to you too, but I know how hard it is to wait, when all you're thinking is, "I need this now!"
Oops, that should be "for you."
