Why does it seem that we are always waiting for something? When we are young, we can't wait to be older. A child is always saying 6 and a half, or 8 and a half, always anxious to be old enough. Then we are waiting to get our driver's license; next it's old enough to vote, then old enough to buy a drink. We wait for our boyfriend to call, wait for that job offer, promotion, marriage proposal, wedding date, or baby to be born. We wait for trains, planes, and buses. And if you are a writer, you wait to hear back on submissions, wait for edits, wait for second edits, and wait for your book release. It seems we spend our lives playing the waiting game. Right now, I'm waiting to hear about a submission, and to get second edits on an upcoming release. Have we become an "instant" society? I think everyone would agree with me when I say waiting stinks.
