My first submission

And it is official - at 5:38 I submitted my first manuscript anywhere, ever.
Art of Desire is off to Amber Quill's Heat Wave contest.

I had the panic attack as soon as I hit send. What did I forget? Would another few days of polishing have made it any better? Should I have gotten a third opinion?

Then I stopped, poured myself a glass of red, and told myself it's just a story. And if it stinks, well, I can only get better.

Real world time, and off to cook dinner.
