The good news is I'll be well-practiced in waiting by the time I start my agent search, and, fingers crossed, any other wait that comes with the publishing business.

I had to write it like that as my work is:
briki
Sorry word is:
Kinda ruined it now.
Penguin, where have you been? I was about to send out a team of seal pups to find you.
I fixed the link. :)
Melanie,
So sorry you and Ibis have to go through all this. Bummer. Let's hope the anon person gets their sh*t in gear and gets this all going for you!!
I wrote a letter to the senetor a few months ago on your behalf, especially since I am in Michigan, let me know if I can do anything else to help :)
Thinkin' of ya,
Sorry Mel. I hope you hear something soon. (hug)
Thanks EMC and Turkey. :)
I try not to dwell on it because there's nothing we can do, but it still catches up with me every now and then.
Oh, that's no fun. But yes, good practice for the agent wait!
Man. I sternly told myself, after your one Facebook update, that I would resist from asking you twice a day until May 31. But I've been thinking about it a lot! I keep wanting to write: have you heard yet? Have you heard yet? Have you heard yet?
It sure has been a long wait for you guys!
:( I'm so sorry. I keep hoping for that blog post with good news!!
Fingers crossed for you!!
Rats! I can't wait for the day your post title is, "We're coming back!" This really is ridiculous.
Wendy, it struck me last night that it will be second nature for me by then.
Spy, I appreciate your restraint. :P
Nadine & Robin, I can't wait until I can post that!!
You know, I can't tell you how many times, late at night, I come back here to check your response, and I look at your note between the "leave your comment" and the comment box, and I want to just write this comment:
Ding!
(Why do I suddenly feel like everyone knows I'm sleepy and slap happy?)
Spy, I love the ding! The other day I was getting a flurry of facebook messages and it made me smile because each one was caused by a real person.
