I Manifested My First Published Short Story
Thank you, Universe, for fulfilling a dream.
Early this year, I heard of an anthology competition. They were looking for stories on first loves. On a whim, I wrote one and submitted. It took me a week to write and edit.
Turned out the deadline was gone.
But.
The publisher reached out to me that their printing had stalled because of some technical delay (ISBN No. or something) and he has time to read my story. And he liked it. And he decided to include it in the collection.
To say I was ecstatic is an understatement. I was stunned. My story? In a book? Whaaat?
Oh My God, here it is:
The truth is: I know I manifested this.
The thing about manifesting something is to put in the effort even when there is a chance of no palpable return. I haven’t visualized getting a book deal, or even publishing one story.
True manifestation occurs when you sit down and do the work. When immerse yourself in your work. Make sacrifices for it. Create a process and stick to the process, day in and day out. Even on the days…
