Wow

I am just amazed. I sit here, tired, hot and thirsty... ECSTATIC! Because I am literally almost done.

I have a few transitions to work out, a few scenes to lengthen and another vignette to write out. Then, it all gets typed up and (drum roll, please) I am DONE!

In a matter of days, maybe hours... I will be able to say that I am finished. Granted, I will need to edit. There will be necessary changes, additions, cuts, etc... but I will have written it.

It's amazing. Lately, and I will admit that it could be due to the ridiculous heatwave, I've been feeling a bit down. I'm struggling with money issues and it is getting really tough to hold out hope that I will figure it out, though somehow I always do. But this has been my piece of joy. This piece has been such a wonderful thing. I've spent serious time thinking, writing, listening. I've been listening to the music, listening to the words, letting them inform the piece.

I am so excited. I get to email Susan and tell her that I'm done. DONE! I will have finished something. I will have accomplished something.
