The world is built, now the story can proceed

I have known since 2003 what this book I am writing would contain; what the main beats were, what the essential framework was, where it would start and where it would end up.
Somehow though I could never get it started to my own satisfaction. I could never lay the ground work in a way that made the story feel stable or believable. Now at last I feel like the supports are in place. The first month or so of work has been focused on getting the characters in place, establishing the rules, limits, and tone of the world they inhabit.
Today I finished what I labeled as Part 1 where we meet the main character and get to know her predicament. Now begins Part 2 where the story I conceived back when I was 21 years old can start to be told. This has been a long time coming and I plan to take a few moments to really enjoy this feeling.
