OK. Maybe she does.
But best sellers and movie royalties notwithstanding, Ms. Rowling, other writers, and I share the incredible feeling that accompanies this photo. And today this makes me happy.
Six months, 90,000-plus words, a couple of revisions, and 356 pages later, this is what a "finished" manuscript looks like. I'm still seeking the perfect title, but now I can finally begin query and synopsis writing, agent hunting, and probably another round or two of revising.
Content has already changed significantly; even the protagonist has undergone a name change. And since I'm already second guessing the ending, I guarantee additional revisions are more than a mere probability. No matter what happens next, I find immense happiness in the journey.
