I just found out the due date for my book is 6 month later than I thought. hence my motivation to work on is has all but evaporated....
I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm going through a "we like your idea, but we're not sure when we're ready to have you run with it yet" type of situation. So, do I start -- do I wait -- do I nag the guy -- or do I just complain about it in here? LOL I'll just complain.Tish Davidson said:In my expience, there is nothing like a deadline to clarify the mind. Without one my writing goes all sluggly (a combination of sluggish and ugly).

Thanks, Tish -- I didn't realized I could do that. I thought it would be some sort of conflict of interest or something like that.Tish Davidson said:Don't sit around waiting. Pitch the idea to some other markets.

Thank you for setting my mind at ease with this. I have a list of targets here I've been wanting to contact, but haven't. I will now -- I appreciate your advice!Tish Davidson said:Not in my view. They had the chance to see the query. They didn't take it. Even if they indicated they might possibly be interested in the story at some point in the indefinite future, you are under no obligation to hold the story for them, since they did not make a commitment.
