can't beat that feeling

I feel inspiration to continue writing my second book now that my first manuscript is off doing something. For awhile I was stuck because I was so worried about my first manuscript at the editor's, but now that I'm moving forward, I feel an urge to return to writing. I can't wait for the day when my book is published and I can call myself a writer! A real, paid, not-a-hobby, writer. I want to derive income from my work, and I want someone to invest in me because he or she believes in me. I want to walk into a book store and run my fingers along the raised font of my own book, as I do with other books. I have never seen anyone else finger books, but I must not be the only one. I have all my life to get published, but I hope it happens sooner than later.
