Aww, thanks Lisa! I kept my post-swim selfie firmly behind the paywall, haha! I’m so glad you enjoyed this, thank you for reading. I can’t wait to share the book with you soon.
Thank you for sharing this moment with us Laura, the feeling sense of your words, of reaching this milestone, that runs deep and wide, is written all over your face 😃 These book updates have been lovely to read. Looking forward to adding your second book to my shelf!
Hard to properly conjure what your feelings are at this point of surrendering your manuscript, but has to be a magical elixir of overwhelming relief combined with sadness, loss and an empty space which will, in the fullness of the coming days, cry to be refilled. Such a wash of emotion is impossible to fully appreciate, not having stood in your place. Perhaps a little like giving up one's child for adoption . . . .
Really enjoyed this. I too recently finished my novel and am in the process of submissions. Also feeling a little lost now my story has finished and carrying around so much headspace now my characters have gone.
Beautiful words, Laura. They give me a sense of hope as I'm about to push the manuscript of my first book out next month. I look forward to reading your book, which is not about swimming or birds...
This is just 🤍🤍🤍 congratulations you wonder x
Thank you, lovely 🤍💫 x
Look at that beautiful face.
Not being a writer, I find the relationship between writers and their work fascinating.
Thank you for this beautiful post. I look forward to this new book.
