Waiting

It’s like throwing a bottle with a message  into the ocean.  In this case, a query letter dropped into the sea of literary agents.  The initial excitement cooled down as time passed and when I received the very nice form letter in the mail after six weeks of idling I had no drama left but a sigh of relief.  Thank you.  I may go on with my life.  Submission has to become mechanical without emotion like brushing teeth, cleaning the toilet or putting on my shoes; stoic as someone who leans on the pier fishing .  The bait is out there, as long as the line is connected.
