Those of us writing novels have a long wait, but the picture book people often have an even longer wait. Ouch! <br /><br />A good whine with some coffee and/or tea is the best therapy in the world, Vanessa! LOL! I'm with you on the waiting for packages thing. I practically pitch a tent by the mailbox when I'm anxious for something to arrive in the mail. I hope you get those packages soon!<br /><br />Ooo, I love the Dentyne Fire gum addition to the books! Thank you for that great idea. P.S. "the Kiss and Go lane" is beyond adorable for the school drop off lane, but maybe it should be called "the Kiss and Wait and Then Go lane." ; )Cynthia Chapman Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12408985785062180536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224888611160910791.post-44818410689956117282010-05-11T02:00:31.609-07:002010-05-11T02:00:31.609-07:00Right on Cynthia!

I do so hate waiting, but each day I do it on the Kiss and Go lane for my children's school when I pick them up, so I travel with two books to read and Dentyne Fire gum a must!2 Geechee Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10383436601038207677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224888611160910791.post-39198362808104265332010-05-10T23:42:25.689-07:002010-05-10T23:42:25.689-07:00Hilarious!!! I just love it cause it's true!!!...Hilarious!!! I just love it cause it's true!!! I am laughing because I just ordered some very rare children's book and I was on pins and needles the whole time while waiting and I am still waiting for some of them to arrive. I can't stand it. Oh then I ordered some post cards of a famous Children's book illustrator from over seas, Fiep Westendorp. Well I put the order in almost a month ago and I haven't gotten my stuff yet! It's rather frustrating to say the very least. So lets just have a coffee or tea and sit and whine together he he he he hehe!!!<br />Hugs<br />VanessaVanessa Brantley Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103644990786273164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224888611160910791.post-11604983303829657862010-05-10T18:59:15.098-07:002010-05-10T18:59:15.098-07:00I suck rocks when it comes to waiting. I'm go...I suck rocks when it comes to waiting. I'm good if I tell myself "give it a week", but once that week (or whatever increment of time I have set in my brain) passes.... it gets difficult.<br /><br />and, writing is ALL about the waiting. People I know still can't get over the fact that my novel was sold and won't come out for 20 months from the time of contract. It is a looong road.Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014195715998913268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224888611160910791.post-7235592395744257612010-05-10T18:00:54.137-07:002010-05-10T18:00:54.137-07:00Shannon, I can't even imagine.
