So I had this nightmare last night. Seriously. I began recieving rejections from editors we didn't even sub to. My agent and I were standing in front of the computer wondering what the heck was going on and then suddenly we were in a group of editors who were all laughing and pointing. It was like one of those dreams when you're caught naked in school. Totally humiliating.
Someone needs a spa day. Unfortunately, spa days have never been in the budget and with the current turn of economic events, I can't afford to mulch my garden, let alone get a facial.
I knew waiting wasn't good for the writer. Soon, I'll be completely batshit crazy. I have a vision of myself wrapped in mismatched shawls, walking through the streets of Portland, muttering to myself... "Goals, motivation, conflict, goals, motivation conflict..."
Writing careers should should come with a warning label: Caution: Writing novels can cause paranoia, depression and anxiety.
This explains the high percentage of alcoholism in famous writers.

Couldn't have said it better myself!
I had a nightmare two nights ago. My agent called me on my cell phone and I couldn't hear a word she was saying. So i told her to call me on my LAN line, and she never called back.
Ok, time to go to the store. I'm out of wine here.
:)
Paranoia, depression and anxiety. So true!!
Hang in there. The waiting sucks, no doubt about it.
You have always been my favorite drunk.
Published or not.
And I will never let you wander downtown, wrapped in shawls. Neither will Meggy. No worries, we've got your back :)
I'm with you.. :) I'm in the grueling wait period right now for a submission too. Sending hugs and alcohol. :)
LOL on the GMC street mutterings!
I'll raise a glass to your dream NOT coming true! (Come to think of it, thats not a dream. It's a nightmare!)
OH my god I had a similar dream!!!
And of course, I tell my father whose a shrink and he's like, did you know writer's share eight out of the ten signs with schizophrenics?
Lol. Great.
Don't worry. You'll sell, I'll sell, and we'll both be able to afford a spa day...or atleast a facial! :-)
Does it help to know agents have the same kind of dreams?
This is a great product for anyone with curly, wavy, or frizzy hair, it works

soo touchable and beautiful!! A MUST-HAVE!! :)
I have been using
a Chi straightener for most of my life and I thought it was the best. This past Christmas I bought this straightener for my mom. I used it all month and the difference is amazing. I don't know if it's
because of the titanium plates or the degree to which it heats, but it straightens the hair in one pass through and leaves it SO SHINY. My hair stays straight longer after using this, too. I love it and have
made the switch to babyliss!
