I hope this is the right place to post this. Feel free to smack me upside the head with a wet noodle if it isn't. So right now I'm in waiting limbo (I checked out the "no news is no news thread." That's me!) And my question is, what do you work on while you are waiting? I have another novel that I started (I've got about 9K words), but I put it aside to write the one that I'm now shopping around. The genres are worlds apart--finished one is a dark UF, unfinished is a sweet coming-of-age contemporary novel. Logically, I now should go back and finish my other novel, but the problem is that I'm *obsessed* with my UF characters. I have the second novel for that series plotted out (and no, I didn't mention in my query that it is part of a series!) Obviously, however, I don't want to start working on that one just yet. Instead, I decided to try to quell my obsession by working on a short story based on my characters, but this route has been slow going for some reason.
So, what do you do while you are waiting to hear back? Work on similar projects, or jump ship and work on something else?
