At the doorway
Posted on | February 28, 2007 |
So I finished, and I’m happy with the manuscript I put together. I wrote well, I think. My body aches from poor posture, and hour after hour in front of the computer.
Getting these applications finished is a milestone for me. I’m standing at the doorway to something I’ve wanted for such a long time, and finally I’ve given myself the all-out green light to go ahead and be a writer.
It still sounds a little scary to say that, to admit that’s what I’m doing by sending this fat envelope off. Like releasing a flock carrier pigeons, hope takes flight on a hundred wings tonight.

I can say from experience that you are the most determined (read stubborn–in the best sense) person I know. I can also say from experience that putting something on paper and then committing it to the US Postal Service is truly the best beginning to a whole cloud field of dreams. I wish you the best, most excellent and perfect beyond your wildest expectations outcome.
With all my love,
