This is my one small step. This is my walk on the moon.

I just sent out the email queries that I needed to send out, all ten of them. There is one addressed letter sitting beside me on my desk.

I really did it.

I'm slightly dizzy, and about to go out for dinner to celebrate and more than a bit nervous.

I really did it this time. I took it all the way. I went from a little idea, a few vague scenes, a couple of snippets of dialogue to a fully written book that is now sitting on the digital desks (well, the queries and synopses are) of agents. I revised and rewrote until there was nothing more I could do, until it was finished.

Whatever happens, whatever kind of rejections or rejections by time-out I get, I'm glad I did this. This is what I want, and I'm proud of myself.

Congrats! You've now done more than 99% of the people who say "I'd like to write a novel" ever do: You've written it, revised it to within an inch of its life, and sent it out. Go, you!

Go you! Have a drink or dessert or something. You done good, kid.

Awesome accomplishment! I really hope for positive responses for you, but I think you're right with the 'whatever happens...' Still. Yes! Bring on the positive responses!

Good luck :)
