Ah, waiting. And yes, get on with something else. I remember that advice of--when you're submitting, be sure to get working on something else. Ideally, start the something else before you start submitting. Getting an agent for novel #2 took a year plus; in that year, I was able to get a decent rough draft of novel #3. Which I liked better than #2 (agent did as well). It was the best distraction I could hope for. Otherwise, it's crazy making. Great post, thanks!
Getting on with the next book was entirely my plan... now to find a way to actually DO it! I have loved following your "structure" posts over the years :)
