The writing reality

I think it's funny how on my posts I sound normal, confident, and balanced. It's the"Hey neighbor! You caught me at a good time. I just cleaned the house, finished baking cookies, and put on a nice pot of coffee. Would you like to join me?" voice. 

The reality is, I just got the biggest heebie geebies just thinking about the queries I sent off (second guessing myself if I spelled everything correctly, including their names), worrying if my query is in the black hole of the slush pile, and wondering if I really have what it takes (the thickest, titanium of skin) to last this whole query process. 

Calm Aspiring Girl has left the building. Paxil needing neurotic girl has now entered. I should wear a sign to my family. "Be Ware of Writer".

  1. Oh, sweetie. You're just entering the playing field. I've got neurosis down to an art form.
    Hang in there, Catalina. You've got what it takes. :-)
