Oooh the Sims? I think you should go out and treat yourself to the Sims 3 which will help you to NTAI.

Then you can tell me what it is like because I hear it calling me to buy it!!

Lacey, here, have one of mine! 😉

Michelle, yes, it’s a different time stream altogether! 🙂 I was half expecting this so I’m happy just waiting at the moment. Of course, ask me that a couple of months down the track! The pitch is actually an online one and from it they will apparently choose three mss to request fulls of. I could always ask the EA I’m in contact with and see if it’s appropriate – if I haven’t heard by July of course.

I agree with Anne. Editorial time is different to the rest of the planet!
Breathe.
About the pitch session, if it is a M&B editor, I am sure they would be delighted to speak to you no matter the outcome. However, the editor you are currently working with will want to keep you as a possible addition to her stable...
Fingers crossed.

Soon I’m going to need to start on the chocolate martinis I think I’m getting sympathy nerves 😉

Many thanks, Anne! I should be doing editing at the moment but I’m ‘on leave’. At least until I’m in the right headspace! In the meantime you’re right, best not to think about stuff that’s out of the house.

Editorial decisions give new meaning to the term, "in the fullness of time," Jackie. Just soldier on writing whatever else you are working on and don't even think about stuff that's out of the house.

And, of course, enjoy those chocolate martinis!

Yeah, Rach, they definitely do. It is tiring but what else can you do? Drink more chocolate martinis! 🙂
