Turn the Calendar to the Wall

Let's see...I'm waiting on an 8-week poetry submission, a 3-month fiction submission, a 9-month picture book submission...the list goes on. Wanna know what's really sad? Even if any of these do get accepted, the waiting begins all over again - just to see the darn things in print.

Prime requirement for anyone considering writing as a career: patience. In massive quantities.

And chocolate...but that's another post.
