For me, it's always gotten harder. Sorry! But brava for finishing! It's an amazing accomplishment! And good luck on your agent safari. I have some old blog posts at my marisela blog that talk about looking for agents. You might want to check it out. Jeannie! Great poem!!!

If I didn't have another story due January 15th, trust me...I'd have gone over the holidays, too. I did it last year and frankly, tried really hard not to do it this year. Really ruins the season to have it hanging over your head. So hugs!!! Jeannie, we had graham crackers and milk! We also had toast and cafe con leche...this was before someone decided caffeine wasn't good for kids, LOL! I loved Cream of Wheat--still do--but never had it mixed with anything!

Book One in my YA series was a long time coming ( it should've been done in June. Of last year). When I finished the last sentence, I sat there and cried. I went over my self-imposed deadline by about a week, but I was done. My hubby and his friend thought something was wrong. But it was teas of relief. I was pushing myself to write everyday: for an hr during my lunch then 3 more when I got home. I was practically locked up in my office for a month trying to get it done and it nearly killed me. Figuratively, of course. Instead of self-publishing (I have my own company) I decided to go the traditional road with this series and will start looking for an agent after the New Year (makes a great resolution, doesn't it?). I think that's where the other part of my tears came from. When I finish the second book in the series, I imagine I'll do what you did. LOL. The first one's always the hardest, I think.
