I was thinking about all the emotions that I experience upon finishing up a draft, and I decided it would be interesting to track the first 10 that float through my brain, honestly and unfiltered, for the purpose of writing “research.”
I started this post ahead of time, and I originally thought that I’d include all the thoughts that went along with each of the feelings. Sometimes though, less is more, and a picture is worth a thousand words. (I dare you to fit more clichés into a sentence!)

Congratulations on finishing! And I have to say, I’m a little worried about what’s going on out of frame with Shaq there in #7….
Ha! I think it’s best if we don’t know. That one cracks me up! 🙂
