Have spent the evening printing the final revision of my new novel.
Yes, the final. The absolute final.
Tomorrow I will pack it in a white box, my agent's address splayed in hopeful letters across its clean white surface.
Tomorrow I will stand in the post office line, holding it in my arms the way one holds a gift of glass, and then I will hand it over, and walk away.
Tomorrow the waiting will begin.
Please light candles and send blessings.

All the best. I am cheering you on and praying for success.
Candles and blessings from here for the special journey tomorrow...
This is so exciting!
ALL THE BEST!!
Inshallah you will be successful!
:)
going by your poems, it must be a fine novel indeed!
Candles are lit, and chanting begins each day at 0700 GMT. Good thoughts of your book winging it's way to to agent and being received with great joy.
Keep me, (us) uptodate with how things go.
Oh boy. Been there. So many times.
Light a candle? How about a hilltop beacon?
gszfxzc. An unpronounceable word describing the maelstrom of emotion experienced by novelists in the act of dropping their manuscript into a postbox.
Buona Fortuna! Best of luck with your manuscript!
That's wonderful! Congratulations. Best of luck with publishers and editors, but really, if you're like most writers, the writing must be its own reward. Even getting it published and selling a million copies won't feel as good as the white heat of creation (not that I'd know).
Fair play Patry, that's wonderful news. Very best of luck with that!
Blessings coming atcha right now!!!!!!!!!!

Here are trans-atlantic blessings. May the wait be worth it.
Cosmic super-vibes of acceptance and success, coming your way.
Now...stop waiting and start writing something new!
Wishing you good news and a serene patience while you wait for it.
Oh goodness - yay!
Best of luck :)
(Candles already burning ;)
Wishing you the best, Patry.
Candles, blessings,the best of luck,positive thoughts and success, you deserve it! I've got a bottle of champagne in the fridge with your name on it!
Oh my god, with all these good vibes, good wishes, conflagrations of candles, and even a cork just waiting to pop, those New York editors will have no defense against me and my little white box of hope.
Seriously, thanks to all of you.
Well done on finishing it -- and good luck!
Congratulations! One in the box. Start the next one.
Thanks, Ivy.
And Max--very good advice. Don't focus on the waiting. Focus on the next project.
