You have such a positive outlook on waiting.<br /><br />I think the waiting game (and critiquing) would drive me nuts :( I'd be super anxiety bound any big project I've been working on. I want the critique, but never thought it would have to be sent in anywhere to do so. Guess I'm not completely sure how it works.<br /><br />Seems like a great blog hop! I am doing one or two others, but if able I may check this one out. I'm usually bad about getting it in on time, which likely defeats the purpose of a blog hop >.<<br /><br />Jak at <a href="http://crytonchronicles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Cryton Chronicles</a> & <a href="http://dreamsintheshadeofink.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Dreams in the Shade of Ink</a>Jakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069266783997777691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869821474801945392.post-19147775592070574612013-05-20T00:18:02.407-04:002013-05-20T00:18:02.407-04:00I love this post...me the waiting seems to get me ...I love this post...me the waiting seems to get me sometimes, but I do agree keeping busy helps us escape in our work!

I recently got a work back from an editor I've hired and enjoyed reading her notes. I agreed with numerous things and groaned when I realized I'd need to edit (more!). But it's my soul's work, as opposed to mundane work, so it's a joy to tackle, really. (I'm telling myself that to psyche myself up to do it.) :-)<br /><a href="http://minalobo.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Some Dark Romantic</a>Mina Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173895884776280826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869821474801945392.post-15237097512235412342013-05-17T13:20:09.123-04:002013-05-17T13:20:09.123-04:00Thanks for replying on my blog.

Getting crits is great. CPs honestly want to help and not crush your soul and your art. I don't feel that way about the rest of the publishing industry. I should probably join a writers anonymous meeting. "Hi, I'm Lexa, I haven't written for 9 months. I don't have writer's block, I'm just too demoralized by the rejections to continue, even with an agent and an almost-signed contract."

How can anyone be upset with a critique like that?Alex J. Cavanaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770065693345181702noreply@blogger.com
