You Don't Feel Like Getting Published

So, you've completed your novel, your work. You've enjoyed it, you've liked writing it. Now, people might encourage you to begin to send queries, but you don't feel ready. You want to rest, feel proud for a while of what you've finished. If your lifelong wish hasn't been to get published, that you don't feel an urge to spur you on to send queries, then don't. You do what you want with your writing career. If you don't want to get published now, then don't try. Maybe you'll want to get published later, maybe never. 

You decide if you want to try now, later, or never. The career belongs to you. If I may suggest, read your work a few times, savour and cherish the words, think, "I made that." Sit down and read in your closet, nestled by clothes and musty air, sit down in your balcony and read, sit down on the grass and read. Play and rest, take a vacation. Turn to schoolwork, live an easy life. You have all of the time in the world. If you're still a kid, then there are years ahead of writing and publishing. Who knows? Don't rush yourself if you don't want to. Keep in mind that you decide what you want to do with your life.
