A long due celebration

In one of the author groups that I am in, writers occasionally post a picture of their finished manuscript on their computers along with a drink of choice to mark finishing the first draft of their books. I have often been shy of doing this but I ALWAYS wanted to. One of the struggles that come with being an introvert, I guess *LOL*

This is not for a first draft celebration but a celebration of the first real publishing effort I am giving this series. I wrote it during a period of depression and despite receiving a five star from Readers' Favorite, I didn't think it was good enough.

Now that the clouds have shifted, I am making a fresh effort.

Drink of choice: Indian masala chai [I call it Yogi Chai in my books to make it sound more exotic than it really is. You can get the recipe here.]

The pieces of cake look weirdly shaped because they are homemade and I made a clumsy job of trying to cut them up and plate it in a chef-like fashion. *Hope Gordon Ramsay doesn't stumble upon this*
Also this pic gives a peek at my workstation. I DID make an effort to clean it up a bit for the photo!
