And have on occasion been known to open a bottle of Moet or Verve. Why shouldn't one celebrate the fact that a piece of work is 'finished' and someone is reading it! Its a step closer to being a book. And if it doesn't become one, at least there's the pleasure of remembering the taste of chocolate and Moet!Dianne Hofmeyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222157214605257030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-77835268450707039292012-02-07T12:46:09.289+00:002012-02-07T12:46:09.289+00:00Thanks so much, Stroppy!

I will reveal the nature of the good news soon...<br />Anne - I actually start a couple of books, one moves forward eventually while the other sits on the backburner percolating.<br />Jo - know exactly what you mean!<br />Liz - Thank you. I will definitely try and treat some of it like a holiday, it beats cleaning and weeding, and then get back down to being focussed about work!Savita Kalhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977368691995933130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-73266618251666169612012-02-07T10:00:27.899+00:002012-02-07T10:00:27.899+00:00The waiting definitely gets easier.

I also find that this is the time when the tiny seedlings of ideas for the next book begin to emerge.<br /><br />Good luck with the waiting (and the weeding).Liz Kesslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12675259815023413448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-35698056584598877552012-02-07T09:24:27.536+00:002012-02-07T09:24:27.536+00:00I hope you manage to hang in there.

I'm with you - I prowl, read, walk, then try writing bits and pieces, start another book, prowl again, see if the neighbour is in for a cup of tea ... it's the not-knowing that feels even worse than someone saying your piece needs oceans of work.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-16717027315398655292012-02-07T08:22:25.618+00:002012-02-07T08:22:25.618+00:00I start a new book.I start a new book.Anne Cassidynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-38699961148141797392012-02-07T08:01:15.061+00:002012-02-07T08:01:15.061+00:00Good luck with the waiting - and congratulations o...Good luck with the waiting - and congratulations on the good news! <br /><br />I get on with the next thing.
