For a long time, I had a hard time starting something while I was waiting to hear about a ms. I used to wait and do other things, for all the reasons you are waiting. But I waited a long time with little to show for it, so now I just start something new, even though sometimes that feels really crazy. Right now my agent has FOUR manuscripts of mine!-- a novel, that Thomas Edison book you read, and two picture book manuscripts. But if I wait for editors, I could spend my whole life waiting -- so right now I'm working on 2 work-for-hire books (one pretty much done, one just starting) and a novel of my own.Libby Koponenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508041827996196293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-83156431292315406642009-10-09T10:35:52.646-04:002009-10-09T10:35:52.646-04:00I go from one dummy to another.

My good ideas slip away if I don't get them down in dummy book form - even if it's a really rough dummy.Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081637796883606385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-76677778111875437532009-10-08T21:08:23.411-04:002009-10-08T21:08:23.411-04:00When I'm in between dummies I usually try to d...When I'm in between dummies I usually try to do web site stuff, its easier for me to pull away from than a new book idea. Although that can suck you in too! Once I start updating part of my web site I want to do the whole thing.Anna Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158290821419472185noreply@blogger.com
