As a type A very Virgo, Virgo myself, this reads like my holding pattern whenever I’m waiting to hear back from my agent or editor. Currently, that’s between final draft and copy edits. I totally relate to making sure my agent knows I want to know all the tea. Being able to take a No and process it as useful information rather than a personal rejection is so important. When you said you outline a whole book, I felt seen. lol And that moment of panic after you’ve put so much time into it, like, will me editor even care?! Also my brain was swimming with submarine puns and I still imagined us on an excursion. What a fun cruise! lol
Nice to read this since I'm currently on sub for the very FIRST time! I didn't have to go through this process with my debut since I had editor interest from a pitch contest. I just passed the one month mark, so I'm starting to get used to it now. It's a weird feeling though. I'm just diving into a new project this week, so I hope that will keep me adequately distracted. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts about being on sub!
Here is all the positive energy that you get good news soon! It’s typically the one month mark for me too where I’m like, “I’m just in the state of sub forever.” But it is such a weird feeling! A limbo!
Wow, I really needed to read this today. A little over 3 months on sub and wondering what happened to my life, lol. Pretty spot on with your experience. First few weeks I was obsessed, couldn't think about hardly anything. How long were you on sub with your books? Has it been wildly different with each one?

All the tea is critical for me or my sub would be sunk!! (I can do better than that!!)

For sure!
This post was made specifically for me (not really). I'm going on sub right now and I'm so scared.
SENDING ALL THE GOOD SUBMISSION VIBES!
