Jibber Jabber - Q1 - Volume 35

I heard from Joni yesterday, and she said I'm all set for this quarter!

Yay!

Good, there is room for quite a few of us here.

I'm getting antsy, and it's frustrating. I know better than to get antsy. This is invariably the longest quarter to wait for results. This month just seems very... I don't know, very long to me--mostly for reasons that have nothing to do with writing.

I dislike January as a rule. This year, waiting on multiple queries and the WoTF story, has been excruciating. It looked like last year the first wave went out in March. I therefore have no hope, just sympathy.

[morganb]

I don't expect we'll hear much until probably closer towards the end of February.

[pcmccollum]

Looking at last year's Q1 thread, it seems things didn't start rolling in until March. Sorry guys. I'm right there with you...

[disgruntledpeony]

Both years I've been around, March is the rule.

Heads up. David Farland recently posted on My Story Doctor that he's just finished thousands of rejections for a writing contest, and also why he has to reject said stories. Interesting reading. I wonder what contest he might be talking about ...

It's pillow fort time!

I’m not ready! Last year it was March. I’m not ready, I have to focus! *hunkers protectively over Q2 submission”

Weird though it may sound, getting results earlier tends to help me focus. It gets that worry out of the way so I can move on XD

Yup, just rip the band-aid off!

I felt the same way!

Good luck you guys! Hoping for the best possible news all around.

Oh god, it's Thursday. *braces!*

[morganb]

Oh god, it's Thursday. *braces!*

Ha ha! Relax. I'm sure we still have weeks to go! lol

You crazies all hungering for results

*licks finger and tests the wind* It doesn't have the feel of a Thursday, to me.

Licks finger and also tests the wind rushing toward the Cliffs of Insanity. "I wonder if he isa using the same wind as us?"

[michaeljwyantjr]

"That's why I live in a bubble, friend," I say cheerfully. "No wind gets me in here. Damn it all, I say."

[rachelwrites]

Maybe it's residual stress from Dave's blog post, but it feels like a Thursday to me. I've spent the day refreshing my inbox and expecting an 'R'.

[morganb]

I really like the look of the new WOTF website. Very modern. New look for them, maybe some new results for us...?

Wow, it looks fantastic. They've definitely kicked things up several notches.

Thursday cometh. If Dave sent those rejections to Joni he talked about over a week ago, she would have had some time to compile the emails to go out. Brace yourselves for impact!

Fat Tuesday... Valentine's Day... Thursday.

[RSchibler]

FWIW he sends that blog out every quarter (that I've been subscribed to the emails) around the end of the judging period. I'm not sure it always indicates he's almost done.

[michaeljwyantjr]

He did mention it during one of the calls for the online classes around the same time. It wasn't 100% clear he'd finished and I don't remember exactly what he said, but I remember my takeaway was he'd finished.

Is there a term for analyzing Dave's actions and public statements as it relates to WoTF? Perhaps a specialized subset of Rejectomancy?

There should be.

Venus is in the second house and the ashes fall from the third wheel, therefore it is known that a Thursday approacheth. Yay verily yay.
