Hi, guys!
I'm still waiting for the pitch results, and it's incredibly frustrating because they were supposed to be out by Monday, but they're being delayed significantly. Living in limbo like this is a nightmare; I hate it when it happens. And yet, it's happening, and I'm still waiting for a response from the publishers. And it's completely unclear what that response will be. We're not being told whether our manuscript has been of interest or not. Everyone's just silent, there's no information.
So I'm living in constant nervous tension, even though I'm trying very hard to ignore it. But it's not working out because not being nervous isn't my strong suit. Especially when it's completely unclear when all this will end. I need to keep working, working on my blog, but I can't because I'm constantly wondering if I pitched my novel well and whether it's interested the publishers. But they're not giving me any information, so I have absolutely no answers to these questions.
This standby mode is definitely one of the worst-case scenarios imaginable. Waiting is simply terrifying. My grandmother used to say that waiting and playing catch-up is the worst thing. Now I understand exactly what she meant.
But still, I have to keep going somehow, so now I'm going to take my dogs for a walk, then I'll check my email, and after that I need to film a few videos for my blog because I'm out of drafts to publish. My blog has been growing really fast, and I can't afford to give up now, so I have to keep working.
Have a great day, everyone!
