Have Patience


Welcome to IWSG for October -- can't believe it's already spooky month! Boo-yah!

So I must apologize for being such a whiny baby lately. I really need to find more patience. I know it takes time to adjust to a new environment. I mean, it doesn't help that I didn't want to move. And I'm also a Scorpio... I really get sick of going to extremes and forgetting to be patient. I'm trying to remember that things will work out, even if not the way we think it should. Like, I'm happy to say, I have found a great job that I wasn't expecting. And though it's been a bit rocky at first, I have faith it's going to be awesome. I'm definitely not bored anymore!

Same is true for us as writers. I know many of you have more patience than I do. So keep the faith! Whether you're stuck in a block, waiting for a query response, or maybe floundering in edits (like me!) a positive result will soon jump out and surprise you. Don't be scared, it was meant to be.

Hope you're planning some scary fun this month!
Take Care!

Goodness, I hear you on that. I have too many people who, when they find out we homeschool say, "You must have so much patience! I could never do that." No. I don't. Or at least, I didn't. It grows with exercise, eh?

Here's wishing you well with the new job!

Tara, where did you move to? Moving can be challenging. Glad you found a great job! Patience can be very hard to come by at times. Especially for writers. Take Care.

Glad you found a great job. Moves are always challenging and you are definitely in a much different environment now.

I hope the new job grows on you. I don't have much patience either. Just ask any slow driver in front of me. LOL

I'm glad you found a good job. It can be hard to be patient sometimes.
