Limbo:  

Webster describes this time as an uncertain period of awaiting a decision or resolution; an intermediate state or condition.

All I know is if I don’t keep myself on track, this is the period I start thinking failure, give up, never gonna happen. My focus right now is revision and marketing. R&M. AS for revision, I’m currently reading through hard-copy of my next in the series of the BLOOD books, my YA/NA Romance Suspense. The first in the series was Blood Money. The current WIP is Blood Moon. It’s amazing how many edits I can find on a single page. Staring at a computer screen, the words can glaze over, and I will miss many; but reading hard-copy usually does the trick. And for marketing, I began the submission process when snail mail was the norm, and buying the current hard-copy book of marketing and publishing information was costly. To successfully identify three possible publishers, complete their requirements, and mail in a large envelope was a feat. Today, the internet has all but made that method of submitting a thing of the past. Current submission guidelines are just a click away. Most not only allow, but prefer, electronic submissions. I currently have 24 submissions out there - I think that’s a new record for me. Pat myself on the back time; now, back to revision.
