Tonight is one of those nights. I just finished the rough draft for my first novel, Fantastic America. I still have an epilogue to write, and a lot of revisions to work through, but the book is, for the moment, DONE! I feel accomplished, not only because the first draft is finished, but because the final chapter wrapped up so much, felt (to me) so emotionally powerful, and worked out in ways I never dreamed of when I began this journey. That journey isn’t over either, it’s just changing gears as I set out on the next leg of my trip. (Metaphors a flyin…)
