I've read a couple of posts lately about writers and patience. We need to have the patience to hold onto a story longer than five minutes after we write it, we need to have patience once a story is sent, we have to have patience, well, about every part of the process of writing and submitting. Richard Parks has a wonderful essay over on his blog about why we need patience and what to do when we're stuck in that waiting mode.

Also on Mr. Parks' blog is a wonderful essay about why the short story isn't dead or dying. http://richard-parks.com/2012/01/24/the-sky-is-falling-not/

My all-purpose motto: "Patience is worth two of anything else."
Pretty much, but it's the hardest thing to come by some days.
