Waiting makes you crazy

Waiting makes you do crazy things.

(Author note: for those of you unaware of my waiting game this is the dealio - I sent my manuscript to a publisher. 4 weeks waiting time. Mass panic. Mixed emotions. Whole lot a want. Whole lot a waiting.)

Like I said, waiting makes you crazy.

1. I have been reinventing myself - Sim's style. In Sim's world I'm already published (seriously, I'm like JK Rowling already)
2. I watch movies (bad ones) - I saw The Roommate which only reminded me of my main character. Only positive, my main character isn't killer crazy, she's fun crazy (1 point Team Jen)
3. I have avoided baths - They lead to WAY too much thinking (both positive and negative - negative, definitely wins)
4. I've been cooking (I know) - I made tilapia in a bag and it didn't suck (actually it was flipping fantastic).
5. I also have time for laundry, cleaning, and other household chores (seriously it's insane, I should stop).
6. I am teaching myself something new. Sign language. I knew the basics but I wanna know more.
7. I dance, sing, and eat - Jersey Shore style. T-Shirt time officially happens in our home.

So that's what I've been up too. What about you?

FUN-tastic friday!!

Happy Happy Friday!!! I plan on seeing Alice in Wonderland tonight and enjoying some Don Julio's Mexican Food! Should be a pretty fun-tastic weekend! What are your plans?

Thanks to my wonderful husband I was able to get another 2,000 words added to my current WIP. I must say that it did not come easy, Wednesday evening I had somewhat of a breakdown explaining to him that the book was going nowhere, I had all these ideas in my head but I was unable to put them on paper, the novel was out of order and the story had changed a bit. All the excuses in the world and yet he took the time to listen to all of them, and remained calm. Something he's excellent at.

Are you a calm person?! Do you think it helps you in writing? I will tell you I'm the exact opposite of calm, which is why when I'm in the middle of freaking out I accomplish nothing. I also forget to breathe! Anyways my wonderful husband read my WIP all 30,000 words to help me out. He let me know what he thought, what he liked and disliked and if he liked the direction I was going. Luckily enough he said he was still very much intrigued and was able to get me back on the right page, and I've been ecstatic since!

So have you ever had any freakouts and thought you'd never make it out alive? Were you able to pick yourself back up? Or are you still stuck and need some help climbing out?
