Writer's Block
Freaking sucks! Thank God it seems to be over.
I started on Finding Our Way, book 2 of the Love & Survival series two weeks ago, and I have STRUGGLED with this first chapter. I had it all planned out, but the characters refused to listen or behave. I finally gave up the fight, and the words just started flowing.
The control freak in me is not happy, but she can take a long walk off a short pier. LOL!

The Hangover
It's been a week. One week since I submitted my book to KDP for publishing, and nothing has prepared me for the aftereffects.
I am dead on my feet. I'm drained, depleted. Utterly gutted. It is as if I pulled my soul out of my body and handed it over to someone I don't know well enough for them to have access to those words on those pages.
Waiting is not an easy thing for me. I suck at it. I don't buy Christmas or birthday presents earlier than a couple of weeks before because I cannot wait to give the gift. I cannot tell you the number of times I've handed over presents early.
Two years ago, I purchased my husband Packers paintings. I got them in October. They were a Christmas present. They got them at Thanksgiving.
I'm telling you this because the waiting for reviews and feedback on this, my first novel, is sucking my soul.
