I spent a lot of yesterday finishing what I hope are going to be the last substantive revsions of a paper I've had in the pipeline for a while. So that's another paper I can call "forthcoming."
It's really quite stunning, the months and months of work, and the months and months of waiting, that all goes into putting a single line on the CV.
Anyway, it's a step in the right direction.

Why not just write the single line on your resume, and then if anyone asks to read the paper, write it then? Surely it would be easier to write the paper under that kind of pressure ...

An interesting thought. It might be awkward in an interview situation, though, when a search committee member asked why you hadn't put the citation for the article. . . .
Oh, so it has to be actually published for it to appear on your resume, and then you have to cite the publication?
Things are much easier in the film industry - you can tell anyone you have anything "in development", which could mean anything from hundreds of thousands of dollars commitment to packaging, to me telling you about an idea I have. Speaking of which, I have an I idea I want to tell you about.

Yeah. To go on a CV, a paper is (usually) done and accepted at the journal. So the citation goes ont he CV. If--as my papers will likely be--the paper's been accepted and you've got it completely through the referee process, but the journal hasn't actually hit tjhe presses yet, then you can call it "forthcoming" in the jounral it's been accepted at. But you still have to put the journal name on your CV.
Putting a paper on my CV that I hadn't actually written would be close to a career-ending faux pas.
