Letting Go
Two days ago I completed my manuscript and mailed it to an agent in California. I've been aimlessly wandering every since. You would think that I'd be relieved, instead I'm experience what feels like empty nest syndrome.

Our creations are our babies. Every morning I would wake up and passionately put my thoughts, and the thoughts of the universe, on paper. While doing so I was nourished and energized.

As I let go of my manuscript, there is a void inside. I intend to settle into the void rather than, say, start another book...

'empty nest syndrome' is awesome! you look at what you've accomplished (your kids are turning into adults and going off to college, your manuscript is complete, etc.) and you feel so good about it all. then you think-- what comes next?! for me, it's back to school!

how exciting and empowering.

Yea!!! I understand your sense of void. However, on a selfish note, I am very happy. It is my (our) turn to feel the nurishment while reading. Congratulations!
