Last week I sent my publishing team the manuscript. It is now in the content review and editorial assessment stage. Holy Cow!!!
As soon as I hit the "send" button, I felt like throwing up. My stomach was tied in a million knots and my arm pits started sweating. This is my physical reaction when I'm excited and scared and nervous all at the same time. I was thankful I had already booked a 4:30 yoga class as I needed it desperately to calm my insides and quiet my mind. I was so happy to be doing side planks even though the are not my most favorite pose. However, my mind had to stay focused on the plank at hand which was a relief from the constant chatter of my meandering mind.
As I left the studio after class, I felt much calmer and more in control. I felt again aligned with the universe and what is supposed to happen in my life. It was a huge step sending off the manuscript. I feel good. I know I have a LOT of work ahead of me to promote Midnight Playground: Where the Soul Plays and to get people interested in reading it. I also feel deep down in my gut that it is going to be a LOT of fun!
In the week since I have tackled some home improvement projects and made progress on my to-do list. You know, things that piled up (including my laundry) while I was focused on the book. It feels good to reclaim all of my spaces (emotional, physical, internal and external). And I'm ready to start finishing my other two books (Purg-a-Tory and 4199)... Life is good. :-)
