Finished the first draft of my next book

The title slightly overstates my accomplishment, since several sections remain unfinished, but I finished the very hard parts. The remaining parts need writing, but not figuring out composition and how they work.

I finished enough to send what I finished to an editor at a publisher.

I don’t remember when I started writing it, rather I didn’t start on a particular day, but I think I started getting more serious about a year ago. It started because I kept sharing a similar thought in conversation with several people and they responded positively. Since I said something similar so many times, I thought writing would be simple compared to past books. Instead, it became an intense journey.

I’m pleasantly surprised at how much it prompted me to learn about myself and the world.

More updates soon. I can’t wait to share more about it. I believe it will become important.
