Hello bloggers,

aren't you glad it's Friday? I definitely am. The funny part is that the works is never really over for us writers.

Lately I've been submitting a ton of queries to many different magazines and then waiting, and waiting and waiting. The wait is something that many (if not all) writers have to deal with, be it waiting for rejection, for the acceptance of your proposal or for a kind word from the editor, saying that she cannot accept your material at this time, but she likes your work and you should to submit again. These responses are worth the wait, I think. They let you know where you stand in the writing process and what you might need to work on. They let you know that at least you're trying, right?

Let me know what your ideas are on this issue. Do you hate to wait for responses from editors? Do you like it and why? How long are you willing to wait before contacting the editor? Hmm. I'm sure there'll be as many responses as there are writers.

Just briefly today, I am spent. Have a good weekend. It's ok to not write sometimes and rest instead.
