I know that it's not Monday, but I simply couldn't wait any longer to post this. The long-awaited day has finally arrived! at 63,989 (because I couldn't write the extra eleven words to bring it up to 64,000) my 282-page manuscript is finally complete!
You know, for some reason, I thought I'd be much happier to be done. I wish I could have kept a record of all of the countless hours that I spent working on this over the past four years just to be able to look back and say "Hey, look what I've accomplished!" But I don't feel happy. I feel just as sad as all of my characters who just had to say goodbye to each other.
The sun has set on this major episode, and now I just need to wait trough the night to see what tomorrow's dawn will bring. The manuscript is being sent out to ten people that I know and trust to have them look it over and correct it. I have asked them all to give me a review that I will post on here as soon as I get them. After that, I still haven't decided if I'll wait until the summer is over before started the sequel or if I will begin planning it in a few weeks. Maybe I'll query a few Canadian literary agents, or maybe I'll wait. I don't know what I'll be doing, but I know one thing for sure: I am taking a well deserved break.
Come check back in on Monday and see if maybe I've made up my mind on where I've decided to go. Thank you all for sharing this momentous day with me. You're all the very best. I am so thankful for all of you. Thank you for stopping in and I hope to see you all back here on Monday!
All my love,
Di
