Christal, you so nailed the reality of this journey. Thank you for your clear, reflective, and honest message about doubts. And even more so for reminding us we don't have to be there ( ; Enjoy the mountain air at the top of this peak for a moment before moving on to the submission leg of the journey. Breathe the air in so deeply that it reaches into your memory cells so you'll remember the feeling of it in your lungs, always, and especially when you need to call up your inner grit the most, to dig in and try just one more time.

Today, I walked past the spot on the sidewalk where I emailed back and forth with my now-agent, and she asked for that dreamed-for 'phone call.' I passed the spot, paused to look back, and let the memory wash into me. I thought of you. I smiled for you, too, as I walked on.

Yes, exactly! "Breathe in the air." It's the best way to keep going. Thanks, Pamela!

Congratulations, Christal!

I'm so happy for you!

Was just thinking about you recently because I am still working on making Scrivener my default WP program. And I'm using your guide to help!

Looking forward to seeing your work out there!

Chris
