Waiting.........Waiting......
Christmas Wine

Heart Of The Storm
43,999 / 44,000 (100.0%) |
I don't know if I mentioned this. I sent both "Christmas Wine" and "Heart of the Storm" off to Dayna for line edits. Hopefully there won't be too many changes to make when I get them back. I also sent "Christmas Wine" to my cp Rach. Whether or not I'll be able to get HOTS into The Golden Heart is up in the air at this point.
I struggle with word counts. I never know how long something is going to be. When I was writing "Perfect" (erotic romance, subbed to The Wild Rose Press August 30th) I had no idea what the word count would be. I aimed for 20K, but fell short of that. With HOTS, I was aiming for 75K initially, which changed to 55K and then ended at 44K. LOL. I have no idea what the word count for a story will be.
I'm hoping to sub HOTS to Whiskey Creek Press/Torrid which is looking for submissions about Alaskan men. CW is heading for The Wild Rose Press for their holiday submissions. At this point, I'm not working on anything.
It's making me crazy.
I could start a new one, but I may have a ton of corrections when I get the other two back. I could work on one of the ms I've started. Reading those put me in a foul mood, however.
For the first time in almost a year, I'm not "working" on anything. It's very weird.
Question of the Day? What do you do when you're waiting? Do you obsess? Do you start a new ms knowing you may have to set it aside to fix the ones out for critiquing?
