Despite nearly a full decade of sending pitches to editors, and understanding HOW READING WORKS, this is me, 0.3 seconds after sending a pitch, refreshing my inbox, hoping for an instant YES

Nothing like the anxiety of trying to remember what you were anxious about

Finally met my neighbor and he said "nice to finally put a face to everything I hear"...

Which is hands-down the last thing I wanted to hear
