Anticipa-ation, it's makin' me wait...
They say patience is a virtue.
I'm not very virtuous.
Ha.
Tomorrow will have been a month since I signed my contract with my agent. And as she said, you can't expect things to happen overnight. Well, why not?!!! Okay, okay, I know that it takes time for things to happen. I just want to start planning my launch party. Which I can't do until I have something to launch. Which I don't. Not yet, anyway.
Sigh...
It's really hard when things happen fast then slow to an abrupt halt. I finished my book and the edits, went to a conference and signed an agent in less than six months. (This after 6 years of writing the darn thing.) And now, I must wait.
And wait.
And wait....
But in the meantime, I must find other things to keep me occupied. So it's back to the notebook to work on the sequel. I've been writing different scenes as they've come to me and it finally dawned on me that I had no idea where any of it was going or how the scenes I'd written were linked. I didn't think I had a theme until my husband asked me what the story was about. I just rattled it off to him as if I'd had it all along. Funny thing is, once I said it out loud to him, I figured out how the scenes that I wrote are going to be linked. Now it's time to stop and plot the whole thing out. I may have done this once before, but I have to get going now.
In the meantime, I have a terrific something to look forward to: a concert featuring Mary Mary, the incomparable Yolanda Adams and the original diva, Ms. Patti LaBelle!!! 10 days and counting!
And I wait some more...
In Him,
Donna

Donna, I love the new look and the blog bug will really allow you to give us more of your POV.
I will readily tell you to keep up the good work and keep the craft of writing firmly in your heart, mind and soul!

Hi Donna,
"Be Still and Know that I am God."
"What God has for me, it is for me."
Congratulations upon the completion of your book.
I'm impatient also. Continue as you are doing and concentrate on the next book, and the next one, and even the next one.
Keep on dreaming; keep on creating; and keep writing.
Auntie Lois
Come on now, you get 6 YEARS to write the book, but you're antsy because the industry hasn't published it in a month? Come on now, you must have more patience (and faith) than that.
Donna--I would be so excited!!! That's so great! Congratulations! Have you figured out your own marketing strategy?
Have a good time at the concert! Regards from the southside
Hi Donna! Have you heard anything yet?
