Back on the Bike!

                                                         UPDATE!!!!

Since my last post I've submitted two new short stories to different publishers. This may not seem like a big deal, but, I must say, it feels good to be writing again. Since the deadlines are still a few months out, I won't find out if my stories have been accepted for a while, but it almost doesn't matter. The voices in my head are back, and I'm figuring out how to write with Stitch and Baby around. It IS possible. (I was starting to have my doubts.) Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. I'll (hopefully) be adding another story in the "free" section, soon, so come back and see me.  :)

Pressing "Send"

Fellow Authors, does it ever get any easier? I just submitted my latest short story, (the first since Baby arrived) and the knot in my stomach instantly appeared. Will they like it? Should I have proof-read it one more time? Does it fit the specified theme?

Logically, I know that if I held on to the story another week or so, I may move a few commas, and it would be just as hard to send it off into cyberspace. Because I obsess and stress. I love my stories and I want everyone else to love them too.

So does anyone out there have any tips on how to not be crazy? Or is this just part of the fun of being an author?
