Thanks, Typo!
I have the germ of an idea. We shall see.

Well, it's good, or at least the second draft is shaping up. I still have my doubts about whether it's exciting enough and stuff.

Waiting is the worst part of writing. I'm waiting for the next editorial letter from my agent. I'm really wanting to get COG all honed to submit to editors, but I think that part of the waiting will kill me. OTOH, I have a hard time believing it could actually get picked up. OTOOH, everyone has been so positive about it.

Because books.
Waiting is the worst part of publishing. Writing you can do whenever. ::insert winky emoticon::
It is really hard, though. The best advice is to always be working on something new to distract yourself, but it's not like I always take that advice myself, so take that with a grain of salt.
And I don't have a hard time imagining Cog could get picked up, at all. It's just good to keep in mind the vagaries of the market, which change so often, and depend on so much that's out of your control.

The fact that I'm asking myself if a particular paragraph I've written is dickish is a pretty good indication that it is. True? Mainly saying it here cause saying it out loud forces me to cut it out.

The problem is I'm working on the Cog sequel :). It does help to be working on something else though. That's good advice.

That's a great piece. Thanks, Jesse. Also, WOW on that first edition at AbeBooks.
