Well, it's finally here. They day I have spent the last few months worrying about, wondering if it would ever get here, has finally arrived. After a few days of pure motivation, and lots of prayer, Why Wish? is finished!!!!! Please commence your happy dancing for me now!
I'm under no illusions that this is a final draft. I know that if a publisher requests the full manuscript, they will also most likely request changes. But the feeling of putting THE END on this draft was liberating. I'm refusing to read it myself for the foreseeable future. No need to start judging in right away. Time and distance will be friends to me in that case; give me more perspective when the time comes to edit.
I just feel so good about this! Does that mean I don't wonder if it sucks? Of course not. Those questions will probably always flit through my mind. However, deep down in my heart and soul, I'm sure that one day, in His time, God will use this story for his purposes. Knowing that for once I didn't try to hoard a gift that he has given me, has me wanting to start writing the next manuscript now. It's such a sense of accomplishment for me. I realize it's not getting published yet. I haven't completely lost my mind. But I just wanted to celebrate in the small victory.
Thanks for taking this journey with me so far. I hope we can continue down this road together and discover what's in store for us.
