Holiday greetings

I am busy getting ready for the holidays just as you all are. I am still hoping to hear back about the two books I was asked to submit revisions on. Having a book accepted would be the best holiday gift ever. But my realistic side tells me editors are probably as busy as everyone else at this time of year.SighAn acceptance as a New Year gift would be nice too!Guess I will continue to wait.Or maybe I will start work on another book. Hmmmm. There's an idea.Berengaria

Four months down the track

Well it is four months down the track and I have two books with revisions done at two different publishers and am waiting to hear back about them. A third book (actually my second book, and at the first publishing house) passed its first hurdle and I am waiting to hear back on that one too.
So I am trying to be patient. Sitting here waiting. Biting my fingernails. This waiting is hard, but at least I seem to be moving forward over all.

Revising with fingers crossed!

A publisher is willing to consider my book further if I make some changes. The changes requested are quite logical and reasonable for the characters' behavior. So hopefully I can do this successfully!
Wish me luck!

Taking the Plunge

Well I wrote the third book and have submitted it to a different publisher.
I am not sure whether submitting different books to different publishers is a good idea or not, but felt it would not be wise to submit yet a third book to the first company, so this seemed a better option.
So once again I must sit and wait.
I am not good at that, but I will try.
Wish me luck with this book, please

Pressure to write a third book

I am still waiting to hear back about the first two books but the characters for a third book are running around in my head wanting to tell me their story. So far I have managed to resist them. I really want the feedback on the other books so that the next book is a better written story, more appropriate for my audience and more saleable. But it is very hard not to set fingers to keyboard again.
