CHECK, CHECK!

I am DONE - done, totally done with my book, well not TOTALLY done, but I'm done WRITING it. Now for the editing. And the re-editing. And the editing it some more. But for now, for this moment, on this day I celebrate having WRITEN it! It is not the book I started off writing. It's a book about not writing the book I started off writing. It's the book I wrote when the book I thought I was going to write, would not be writen. Are you following all this?

Like with everything, I didn't end up where I thought I was going, but I got "there." "There" is already feeling like a place I want to be.

Today I celebrate being done.

Tomorrow I wake up and start all over again.

Another metaphor. They're starting to bug.

You did it! We're never really done, we're only done for now.

So, are you going back to the life you thought you were living or are you living the life you thought you would write about? During the editing process try not to rewrite the book you didn't think you were writing.
Congratualtions on not writing the book you thought you would write but rather the book that was living within you.
