Finished!

Today I completed the final edits on the manuscript of the second novel that I hope to publish under my own name. As you know, this past week has been focused on my alter-ego, Lucy Arlington, and the release of her second novel, Every Trick in the Book. However, despite that exciting distraction, Sylvia May (me!) continued to work on her second women’s fiction novel.

This morning I made the final changes and corrections. I polished the document, gave it a cover page, and sat back, suddenly nervous to send it out in the world. Of course, it won’t get out in the world until it finds a publisher, but that first step of sending it to an agent feels very much like sending it out in the world.

I wrote the email, attached the document, and let my cursor hover over the “send” key. My pulse started racing and my mouth went dry. And then a little voice in my head said, “Do it or not. Just decide.” So I hit send.

And off it flew over the Internet.

I’ll keep you posted on it’s progress.
