I just hope she sees enough potential in it not to reject it out of hand. And yeah, I do care about it but hey, if it doesn’t work out it doesn’t work out. I guess if it doesn’t, the good thing is I have another one waiting in the wings. 🙂

Kaily – she wasn’t intending to torture me I don’t think. I actually made the cardinal sin of emailing her and that was her response. I should have waited until 16 weeks really but I was feeling impatient. Yep,I hope she sees the potential too!

Judy – yeah! Absolutely no surrendering here. 😉 So far…

Couldn’t she have just let you know when she has something more definitive? We’re always growing and changing and I think we’d always craft a story in a different way if we had a chance to do it over. An editor would know that. I mean, they’d have to wouldn’t they? I’m sure they look for the underlying potential. I have everything crossed for you!

Or at the very least sees enough of your trademark wit and tenacity to give you positive feedback you can really sink your teeth into.

Sounds to me like you’ve already scoped out any potential problems which means you’ll be good to go as soon as you hear from her.

And I’m with Maisey and You, have a few printed books frankly which I reread and think ‘darn wish I hadn’t let the hero do that..!’ C’est la vie! The good news is you’re still invested enough in the story to actually care.

Maya – cheers! I guess knowing is better. Swapping impatience for nervousness – argh!

Rach – it’s cool re the blog eh? Blogger in Draft as some great new templates and backgrounds. I hope I hear before you send yours too. Only one set of nervousness allowed. 😉

Sally – that’s some great advice. Think I’ll probably do something along those lines actually.

Maisey – I like that. That must mean I’m an uber-professional!

Joanne – thanks! Yeah, it’s only been 12 weeks – early days in editor land! – but it feels like an eternity. Then again, I’ve had 12 weeks of lovely pretend. Hopefully reality won’t hit me too hard. 🙂

Sri – Oh, I hope so! I can fix it – whatever’s wrong, I can fix it!

Caroline – sleep? What’s that? 🙂

And I sympathise with you – I *know* if it was me having to wait I wouldn’t sleep the whole 2 weeks. Caroline x
