So, I finished writing my current work-in-progress the other day, delighted to type those wonderful words, The End.
And was at loose ends. Couldn't settle down to do anything, even though there was plenty I could do--inside the house, outside in the yard. Didn't even check out the books in my TBR pile. Instead, I wandered around my house thinking, hmmm, I should do this or that. And didn't.
Fortunately, I had to meet with some of my critique partners that night and now I'm refocused. I have another story that only has one scene left to write--interrupted that story to write Two Moons Rising that I just sold to Crescent Moon Press.
So, yesterday, to reward myself, I bought a new fancy trellis to hang my hummingbird feeder on, and next year I can plant some flowers to climb it. Check out the pic.
What do you do to celebrate finishing a manuscript?
