a giddy feeling...

There are several times in my life when I had a giddy, "schoolgirl-like" feeling of glee and excitement.

1) When I saw the girl I had a crush on in 2nd grade walk down the aisle during First Communion, looking like an angel in her white dress.

2) The second time I went to Disneyworld. (the first time was with my parents...HATED IT!)

3) When my soon-to-be wife said yes to my marriage proposal.

And, today. Today, all of our seperate pieces of "Vanishing Moon" have been spliced together to form a rough draft of what will be THE GREATEST SCI-FI NOVEL EVER WRITTEN.

And no, I am not biased.

I'm not sure what makes this day so great; it could be the sense of accomplishment, or the idea of having a vision finally take physical form, or the fact that it has taken 11 months, and we are all a little worn out! Whatever the reason, let the giddy feeling ride!
