Fits and Starts

I finished a new draft last night. I love finishing new drafts. Sure, the heavy lift of editing still lies ahead, but the birth of a manuscript can be counted as complete. That, to me, is the hardest part. The easiest place to give up. But it’s done now, and the story is fully formed. That doesn’t mean it cannot or will not change. But it’s done. At least for now.

While those words rest, I’m on to other things. This week, I’m finishing up some classes on craft, and starting some new ones as well. I’m wrapping up an old job and preparing for something new on the work front, too. To cap it all off, tomorrow I’m taking the train to NYC to meet with my agents.

It sill feels very surreal.
