I.... don't know what to do right now. I finished the edits of my first novel. I'm very, very happy about that. It took me so long to do.
Far too long. I sent the manuscript off to my two beta readers. I've even written the query letter, revised it, and chosen the agent I'm going to send it to. Now...... what do I do?
I've never gotten this far in a project before. Never. I'm a starter, a notorious starter. (Ask my high school friends who put up with all of my story snippets and unfinished drawings.) And now I've finished a novel. Not just the first draft, but it's ready to go out to other people.
And be read by an agent.
And possibly be read by complete strangers.
A daunting prospect to say the least. It's like a phantom over my life at the moment. Now, after editing for so long I have to go back to writing in the moment. I think I've forgotten.
Let's find out.
