Back in the saddle

I just wrote the first four pages of something new - new idea, new pilot. I really like the idea and the characters and the dialogue... I like it all. I feel warm and fuzzy and happy. Is this the best feeling in the realm of writing experience? What's your favourite bit?

I do so look forward to that one.

What's your favourite bit?

Typing "Fade Out."

New idea, new pilot = warm and fuzzy and happy.

Completion of same = warmer and fuzzier and happier.

Acknowledgement of receipt = warmer, fuzzier, happier and confident.

Three months on...nothing = warm and fuzzy and happy-ish

Six months on...nothing = Lukewarm, unhappy.

One year on - rejection slip (with surname spelt wrong) = boiling, seething, fist-clenching hatred.

Bloody hell -- stop showing off with your unbelievably quick rejection slips!
