I’ve been meaning to write an entry long before today, but I’ve been waiting for material.   I’d hoped to be able to announce that my final submission for the Ex Factor anthology, The Cosmo Effect, had been accepted.  But as of this date, I haven’t heard.  I find this odd because to hit an October 13 publication date, production wheels need to start churning pretty quickly.  (We haven't even seen contracts yet!)

 

But waiting is part of the game.  No one tells you this when you sit down to write seriously.  For me, the waiting is the hardest part of writing.  Write a story, submit it, and then wait.  Sometimes the waits are short.  Sometimes, the waits are ridiculously long.  Sometimes they just seem that way.  And even though there are plenty of other stories to write while the waiting goes on, I'm still waiting.

 

So, while wonder when I might hear from this particular publisher, I will move onto my next project.

 

Mummies! 

 

That’s right, mummies.  Deana Hoover is assembling an anthology, tentatively titled My Little Book of the Dead, which will feature short mummy stories by a variety of authors.  More to come on this project as it moves forward.

 

Till next time,

 

Jill.
