Indecisive...
Sep. 11th, 2005 06:30 pmMany months ago, last November to be exact, I submitted a book proposal to Stargate novels. I got a reply saying they got the proposal, and another one (in May) saying that they were starting to send out (rejection) notices. It said: "If you don't receive an email within the next 24 hours, it simply means we haven't read your submission yet (so there's still a chance it could be good news). Please be patient."
I haven't received anything yet. Should I write and inquire? Should I just sit tight and wait? I'm not patient right now. I was flattered at first -- not rejected yet, this is good. Now I'm paranoid. Did they send me a "not what we're looking for" and I just missed it?
I am manic, I know. I've gotten other stuff from them, including announcements about the books they are publishing.
They said "be patient". How much more patient should I be? I used to find the uncertainty cool -- as long as I don't know, there is always the possibility that I still have a chance. Now. Well, now, I'm just want to know.
*whine*

I'm watching Angel. I like this show. I like it a lot. I didn't really watch it when it was on because Myr was a little young for the show. We catch it every once in a while in repeats. That's a little hard because the show is incredibly complicated... relationships change, characters die or evolve, alliances shatter.
All things I love in a show. It makes it almost impossible to step in and watch, though.
Still, I like the line of moral strength that the show has. I like the writing. I like the characters. I like how they play goodness and light in such a dark setting.

finabair, do you have Angel on DVD or just Buffy? I don't watch a lot of Buffy, for the same reason mentioned above. Myr and I have watched some of the early eps -- which I find I really like. The later episodes have all sorts of emotional entanglements that I'm not ready to discuss with Myr at this point. So, that will have to wait.
Oddly enough, I feel that I can discuss the moral ambiguities of good and evil, right and wrong with her at this point much more easily than I can the emotional/personal/relationship ones. I suppose, since the shows all come down on the Good side and because she's not going to be dealing with demons or such, it makes it a less complicated discussion.
