Perched

Personally and professionally, I’m sitting on a bunch of opportunities that just won’t hatch without patience—a virtue I have never developed. It’s simultaneously excruciating and exhilarating. I’ve got a query letter out for a story that just gets more and more brilliant with each passing day. I’ve got a job offer/rejection pending that could really solidify my new career. I’ve got a personal project percolating that could change my life. In a couple of weeks, they could all turn out to be duds, and my life would be no different than it has been for a while now. Or, they could all bloom into full on successes and I’ll be tearing my hair out with the stress of having to juggle them all at once or just choose one. And then there are the many permutations of some working out and others not. It is agonizing to wait.
