As mentioned here (and here and here), I set a goal to finish another draft of my middle grade novel by June 30th. Today is that day and I’m pleased to report I just placed an order to have the manuscript printed and bound!

To be clear, this is NOT a photo of me. I don’t have mad hops, not even on my best days, and right now I’m too tuckered to leap anywhere except possibly onto the couch. Rest assured, though, my inner Tracy is currently jumping for joy.
Hooray for setting and meeting personal goals!

Congratulations! What a huge accomplishment.

See? I’m so busy basking in meeting the one goal I set that I haven’t even thought about setting another one or more. I am not good at goal-setting! 🤣

Well your “one” goal was a huge one – because it can be hard to buckle down and get to a manuscript
((Recently I realized this – how we can love writing and love the immersion but Sometimws easy to put it off))
And I’ll tell you your next goal –
To savor the hard copy of your book draft
Hahah

Thank you! I ordered from Office Depot/Office Max. Each time I do this I have to reinvent the process it seems bc I don’t remember what I did the last time. Yesterday I ordered a Manual which is spiral bound. One-sided. I also requested (as always) 10 blank pages added to the back so I can write notes, etc. Mine was 188 pages and with the 25% off coupon, the total came to about $24 which is a pretty good deal, I think.
