After 5 tiring hours , miscellaneous pictures and interesting cultural facts, I lay back slouched in the usually comfortable office chair. "I'm finished!!" I screamed. Realizing that my goal has become a reality. I have completed my first article for a potential feature magazine. Mind you, I had started this article days ago but the trimming, inserting and editing of Jussssttt the right information became my foe. I combined the data into one file, saved it and sent it off to the Editor and Chief with high exclamation and anticipation. I was proud of myself and where I'd been. A few days earlier, a Thursday, I smiled in my home when thinking of the notion that I am now a writer. I had my laptop, notepads and pencil ready to go, I had a schedule of stories or pieces to create and submit: I felt accomplished!! Even rewarded by the gift that I didn't know was so valuable and substantial. The next day , after submitting a piece to the work newsletter about Toastmasters and receiving approval from the two featured persons, I realized I even wanted to do a victory dance to celebrate just how far I've come to reach this far. Such beauty, longing and fulfillment all wrapped into this one feeling!!
Hmm I may even need a pen name.
