PITCH FORTH

I’m stuck!
Nothing in my head will move.
Well, that’s not true…
Thoughts and ideas are moving…
But in a never-ending loop…
Round and round they go…
Whizzing and flying…
Till I’m dizzy…
(Dear God I hope it’s not an impending tumor)
And not accomplishing anything.
I cannot focus!
RWA nationals is coming up next month…
I should have my pitch down pat…
I should have researched all the agents and editors…
Why can’t I settle on a version?
Why can’t I …
See?
I can’t even finish this thought!
I just know next month…
There’ll be a warning going around the RWA conference…
“Beware of a menopausal woman…
Wandering around…
With a dazed (or crazed) look on her face
Babbling to anyone who comes within two feet of her."
Or else I'll be holed up in the hotel room
With my poor roommate pulling and yanking me
"You paid all this money! Now get out there! Mingle! Network! Quit being such a wuss! And no, I will not bring food to you anymore! Now go!"


Always, Em-Musing

Just breathe deep. I know you're going to be fine, and you'll do great with your pitch. Good luck!!

One step at a time ... I find that to-do lists are a great help, breaking my writing down into smaller tasks. Even a small step is a step forward! Best wishes ...
