I was scared, but I submitted my manuscript

Anyone who has completed a manuscript knows it is like giving birth to a baby, and yesterday I had to drop off my "baby" to the library for their writer in residence program. I was very nervous passing the envelope sealed with surgical tape to the librarian. I hoped she would treat it well, and I get the impression that she was going to ensure the manuscript got to the other library that was holding the program. I asked her why the library heads decided to have the writer in residence program at the northern location, and she told me they "take turns." Next year the library will host the program downtown, one block from where I live, which would be great if I wasn't moving close to the northern location next year. What timing!
