Every writer dreams of getting The Call.
I can’t think of a single writing friend immune to this phenomenon.
When it happens, it IS great. But what comes next? This is the one question I never thought to ask.
After I received The Call on April 21, I expected to be bombarded by emails and phone calls from my agent and editor for the next week or two. My reality–The Silence. For three, long months.
Time plays tricks with a writer’s mind. Here are some of the crazy, mind-tormenting thoughts that invaded my writer’s mind when surrounded by The Silence:
- Was it all a big, nasty dream?
- Are my agent and editor stalled over some irreconcilable difference in the contract?
- Did my publisher send the contract to my agent?
- Is my agent still reviewing the contract?
- Should I touch base to see how things are going, or should I wait for them to update me?
