Yeah, if you can't tell, I've DEFinitely had my moments of angsty-much...and NOT as a teenager :-) Try like recent past....really, really recent past.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408910703068503850.post-35274556929425563502012-03-26T19:31:55.193-04:002012-03-26T19:31:55.193-04:00music!

Laura Marling's voice can sometimes be a little haunting, but she's definitely more angst than dark, I'd say. Massive Attack and Muse, maybe.Jessica Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10265579216725914883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408910703068503850.post-10385838653326610292012-03-26T14:18:26.455-04:002012-03-26T14:18:26.455-04:00Until my last rewrite, I thought waiting for other...Until my last rewrite, I thought waiting for others is the hardest. Except now I'm in a position where I've decided to revise my ms one last time... and I've discovered waiting for myself is DEFINITELY harder. O.o<br /><br />Having said that, I am sure once I dive into the trenches I'll happily change my mind again ;) <br /><br />Hang in there, you can do it!!

I think I'm adding books faster than I'm marking them off. It's a slow losing battle, but a good one--someday, I hope I'll be able to read them all.Kimberlee Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695299361596799423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408910703068503850.post-54493735523458492732012-03-26T07:28:37.272-04:002012-03-26T07:28:37.272-04:00Yes!

Sent what was probably a premature nudge on a partial yesterday, but when you're completely convinced the agent's just going to reject you anyway, it never seems premature.<br /><br />(Also, been noticing on QueryTracker that all the agents who have my MS right now have been requesting and rejecting tons of other MSs in the time they've had mine. Not sure what to think of that...)Francesca Zappiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16876692064254806825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408910703068503850.post-4596518076252178742012-03-26T07:09:12.739-04:002012-03-26T07:09:12.739-04:00"Disenchanted" is an understatement.
Fo..."Disenchanted" is an understatement.<br /><br />For me, at this point, I think it's actually a GOOD thing - I don't expect anything from anyone, and so "high hopes" aren't nearly as high as they were during my first tour of duty in the query trenches.<br /><br />Chessie will set you up with that playlist. She did one for me for WiP #3, and it kicked my butt into high writing gear.<br /><br />((((hugs))))) Hang in. We'll all be okay.

I think I kind of do. Currently, I'm waiting for my revised manuscript to be officially "accepted" after which begins a 60 day waiting period before my agent can submit one of my other 2 manuscripts. Yesterday, I had a mild breakdown in which I was convinced neither of those manuscripts stood a chance and maybe I should try to re-write them both in the 60 days I have. That's a little bit crazy, isn't it?<br /><br />So, I don't know if you can avoid feeling crazy, but you can try not to act on your crazy impulses.Dianne K.
