Is not something I'm very good at. I'm all about instant gratification. When I see something, I want it now. When I know something's about to happen, like my birthday, or a holiday, I wait impatiently, wanting it to hurry up and get here.
I've been that way for a few weeks now as I await the outcome of the Brava novella contest. I entered, along with 356 other hopefuls. I am now biting my nails and waiting for the outcome. There's a poll up on the forum that asks if entrants think they have a good chance at winning. I'd put mine at 50/50. I've aways thought that was a good number. I could win, I could lose. But, if I don't play, then I lose for certain.
So, I'm playing, and waiting, and not being very patient about it. Hopefully, in the next few weeks, I'll be able to say yeah or nay...with an emphasis on the yeah!

Hey, good luck! I'll keep a set of virtual fingers crossed for you. :)

Don't let her fool you - her odds are better than 50/50 and she's nowhere near patient.
Thanks Angie! I hate to admit that I'm nervous, but I am. And Nov. 15 is a long way away.
And you, Maura ... *Melinda taps her foot, hands on her hips* behave!
And this time there's not a closet you can sneak into to see what your present is. You can't exchange this one, either.
Man, Briddie. See if I ever tell you about sneaking around for presents when I was a kid. And then maybe, just maybe, unwrapping them to see what they were, and then wrapping them back up. I was a kid! I don't do that anymore. I promise...LOL
Of course you don't do that anymore. We hide them better now.
