And I'm done!

After letting my piece stew for a few days, and helping out a friend in the meantime, I'm finally done with the competition entry. Am I entirely happy with it?

No, I'm not. Wish I could say I was.

But... I know how I can be. I need to set it aside right now, before anxiety takes hold, before the fear of future judgement gets the better of me. Before I rip it to pieces, ending up with less than when I started. I speak from experience.

To spin a positive from the negativity I'm feeling right now, I really should give myself a pat on the back for even getting to this point. This past years writing drought has weighed heavily on me, and the chance to actively work towards a goal has been very helpful. Even getting to the final edit is an achievement in itself.
