book edits complete
somewhere around one year ago this time, i was worried as crap about the job i thought i had that wasn't panning out, but i was in the middle of writing a book.
now, i'm almost a year with that company i was hired on, and the first two people are reading my completed first draft. (well, completed except for one paragraph that i need to get some legalese worked out, but that isn't until the last 1/8th of the book.)
tonight, i am having a conversation with a published author writer friend of mine to get myself any clue of what i do now, where i go next, how i should proceed or even think about proceeding on this next step of the journey. i know she will ask me questions i don't even know i have questions about yet.
...
i'm excited, but i'm also kind of wow. i can't really comprehend there is a manuscript thingy with my name on it. mostly because i reread it and i forget pieces that i wrote. "OH NO SHE DID NOT SAY THAT!!" lol
i started writing it because i'd always wanted to and knew i might never have the opportunity. i also didn't have any expectations what might come of it. i just let it happen to see where it went.
i still have no expectations, i'm still just seeing where it goes. i also think it's mind-boggling that it took 4 full time months to write and 8 months NOT full time to finish one round of edits. yikes. i don't think i could have completed WRITING it if i hadn't had time to devote to it full time.
again... wow.
...
i'm also beginning to form the next storyline and characters in my mind and trying not to get myself psyched up about starting it just yet. lol
