Fellow writers, what do you do (to stay sane) when you've texts on submission?
Write something new?
Go for a (never-ending) walk with the woof?
Wait it out in a wardrobe and wail?

Used to find it much easier/more exciting. Now, struggle to focus on anything else... HELP!

Looking forward to this being out in the world - the follow-up to #wannaseeapenguin
