Writing Wednesday — When it Rains

Anyone who has been a part of publishing knows the whole "hurry up and wait" thing that happens. Tight deadlines drop right before months of radio silence, and then all of a sudden it's back to "I need this yesterday." It's just a part of the way things work, and as much as you try …

Writing Wednesday — Submit!
