Last year around this time, I submitted a paper proposal on the social effects of zombies in Fido to both a panel at a conference and a call for chapters in an edited volume.
It didn't get picked up. This fact took me a while to get used to - I'm only human, and no one likes rejection - but I got used to it and started brainstorming which journal might suit it. I didn't get very far in the brainstorming because it is an article that doesn' really readily fit into a single category, and really seemed best suited for a special edition (or an edited collection!)
Well, I just got an email from the people I originally proposed it to, telling me they'll be putting out a second related volume, and would I be interested in contributing to that one?
Yes. Yes, yes, yes!
So my sitting on this, trying to figure out where to place it instead actually worked out well, since now I have a venue!
(I also have a two month deadline, but at least I have a venue...!)
Maybe a little procrastination isn't so bad after all!
