They've Got Mail!!

Woohoo!! The manuscript is in the mail. I just finished up the final edits on the manuscript that was requested and emailed it off. It’s such a weight off my shoulders and (to borrow a line from Roswell) now I have this really cool window of time to obsess. Will they buy it, won’t they. Only time will tell.

Giving birth to your books takes a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, but all the decisions are in the authors hands. But publication, unless you want to self pub, which I don’t, that’s entirely up to someone else. Don’t get me wrong if self publication is the way you choose to go, more power to you, it’s just not the route for me. I guess I need the validation that my talent is good enough for someone to want to buy my creation.

So now I wait with fingers crossed. Tonight, I play and I celebrate my accomplishment, and I do the critique on Shai’s work. (I know you’re reading Shai.) Tomorrow, I get back to my regularly scheduled writing program.
