Get out there and complete other fates in the same zone. Only so many will be up at any one time, and you can clear a fate faster than the time it takes for it to expire.
I agree that you're doing it wrong if you just sit and wait, but in a zone like Coerthas you really can't go do other fates and expect to make it back to the one you need when it does pop. The zone being so huge is bad enough, but then you have the lack of aetherytes outside of Dragonhead to deal with. What I do when I'm waiting on book fates is I just take some items to craft, then throw them on the market when I'm done with the fate. It can be anything, really. Ingots, food, whatever. You can at least make the wait time productive.
