I'm tired, I have a headache, I suspect that my eyes are strained, but it's all worth it. I've finished approving the final edits of my book!
The excitement of all this kicked in today. The first couple of days were spent in a wee bit of shock I think.
This has all been such a crazy way to spend the summer. Editing a novel, finding a professional editor, sending the novel off to said editor, choosing a book cover (that was so awesome), and then approving edits on my book. Approving edits. It was all so... unbelievable.
A part of me can't seem to get that this is MY book. This is all MY work. This is all happening to ME. I've done something others have dreamt of doing, and I like to think that I've done well (the reviews will tell) The point is, I'm still on this journey, or rather, the beginning of one. I'm not even close to the middle. I have two more books to write in this series, and with each one the process happens all over again. I hope to make a career out of writing, so think about all the other books that are to be written to make that happen. It's all so... mind boggling.
God has blessed me greatly, and I am a poor servant to Him. He's showered me with gifts and opportunities, and what have I ever been able to give to Him? Our God truly is an awesome God.
