My first, completed manuscript...is finished.
I know, I know, I need a handful of betas, I need an editor, etc. But for the first time ever, I've completed a book with enough satisfaction to pursue betas and publication.

I know this isn't a huge deal to a lot of people, but I'm reeling.

The single person who's read and reviewed (a complete stranger who's name will definitely be in my future acknowledgements page) enjoyed it and gave much-needed feedback, and that's also a first for me; having someone read my novel.

The amount of vulnerability I've bled would have put me in shock a few years ago, so this introvert is moving up and out!

*cheers!*

Yay! That's amazing. Being an introvert myself, I'm completely impressed. I still sweat at the idea of beta readers. :hooray:

Hooray for you! I also just wrote the ending and fished editing my first novella. Not sure if I want to publish it yet, but I know how you feel. It's a great feeling. Plus I'm a major, 100% introvert, too.

:partyguy: Way to go, Jess! Introverts all around are applauding your success. Quietly and without bringing attention to ourselves.

congratulations. I was basically in the exact same position a few months ago. It is a huge hurdle to overcome. Just knowing that I could finish one complete manuscript gives me the confidence to write more. I wish you well.
