• Forest for the Trees
  • THE FOREST FOR THE TREES is about writing, publishing and what makes writers tick. This blog is dedicated to the self loathing that afflicts most writers. A community of like-minded malcontents gather here. I post less frequently now, but hopefully with as much vitriol. Please join in! Gluttons for punishment can scroll through the archives.

    If I’ve learned one thing about writers, it’s this: we really are all alone. Thanks for reading. Love, Betsy

Love Is a Ring

I have ants in my pants today. I keep jumping from my reading chair to my desk chair. Then back. Sometimes I find myself checking my Blackberry while staring at my computer.

This is known as agentitis and it’s the result of sending out a project and waiting to hear back. I always tell myself it’s worse for the writers and that makes me feel better.

Fortunately, a few things happened that took the edge off: a call from a BDP (big deal producer) about a client’s book,  signed up a new client (yes!) , made some calls I’ve been avoiding (satisfying!), and had a cheese bagel.
