First, congratulations on finishing your novel; that’s a feat in and of itself. And best of luck with the submission process (I know what it’s like)!
I’m definitely guilty of focusing on the big goal. It towers above you and obscures the small steps needed to get there. Taking those incremental steps and enjoying the process is indeed the way forward, but it’s one I struggle with.
Thanks so much! It's helpful to hear from someone else who has been in the query trenches. And yeah, it's definitely not a switch you can turn off! I have good days and bad days for sure.
LOVED this post! I had the same experience with meditation, and have been having the same experience with novel-writing for the past few (million?) years.

Yay! So glad it resonated!
