Project BIANCA is all done.

I’m surprised it stopped at four versions.

The final draft is done. The synopsis is done. The pitch is done. When I open the doc up, and look it over, it looks good. I have comp titles. I have a list of agents ready to go to start querying. There’s nothing left to do but to do it.

But I still have that fear of starting.

Like, right now, it exists as this perfect little thing I’ve been working on for over five years and so long as it stays on my computer and never goes out it’ll always remain perfect. Which I know is the wrong way to think about this. I want to be a writer. I want to send stuff out for people to enjoy. People will enjoy this. I know they will. I just need to hit submit. I even have the first agent lined up, someone who liked my previous work on Project NESS so much they requested the full manuscript to read and has the comps for BIANCA in their Manuscript Wish List. It’s all there.

But Austin Kleon (above) is right.

All I have to do is…

It.
