As writers, we play a hurry-up-and-wait game. Hurry up and finish the manuscript. Hurry up and edit it. Hurry up and get it revised. Hurry up and send it off to agents and publishers. Then it's wait and wait and wait, hoping to attract the attention of some literary agency or some publisher.
It's hard being patient. It's hard keeping one's self confidence up when there's so much rejection and such long wait times.
How about you? How do you handle having to wait?
