Well, hopefully we all survived my two weeks of vacation. I’m looking forward to getting back to work, closing some deals, and letting Robo-Daphne have some time off. I’m also going to be putting some thought into my New Year’s Resolutions.
I’m about to head off for a somewhat unexpected trip, but before I do, I wanted to say something about waiting. One of my authors who’s awaiting a response from an editor made a comment the other day about publishing time bearing a stronger resemblance to glacial time than normal, human time. And unfortunately, it’s totally true.
Stylish zebra shoes to wear whilst waiting for Lisa from Chicago, who writes, “I have a dilemma that’s new to me, regarding when (or whether) to make a status query about a submission.”
My inbox seems to be behaving today — i.e. not too many messages coming in stamped “URGENT!” — so I’ve decided to take the rest of the day as a reading day.
Flew in from Denver late last night/early this morning to the New York office for a few days of meetings with editors and such.
