Going out

We're at the final stage of editing, and then, this thing goes out today.

Holy fuck!

I'm really soaking this up. It's not like this is ever going to happen again. I've said that at every stage, at every rejection, along the way.

It's not the destination, it's the journey that counts. If i've learned one thing in all my years, it's to stop and smell the roses. Sometimes, they're not so sweet. Who cares? They're for reference. The sweet will be sweeter.

I'm spending the day afraid of a conjunction. "But"

Loved it but...

Publishable but.....

Fabulous but....

Fucking conjunction broke my heart a few times. I want to score. The next 'but' I want to hear is at the bank. "But I'll need to see two forms of ID..."
