I hate waiting for responses to queries or to see if something I sent in will be published. Right now I am doing both. I have sent in a new article to The Hugffington Post Blog and a query to The Tolkien Society about publishing my essay. This is truly the hardest part of writing. I would almost rather receive a quick “no” than wait. Almost.
If you are interested you can find both the hopeful article and essay under the “Articles” tab above. The Huffington one is titled “On the writer” and the Tolkien essay is called “The Monsters are the Critics.” Tell me what you think. At least maybe that will fill the void that waiting has left.
