I've written all year.
END OF BOOK TWO
I'm crying. For many reasons. I started it on April 6, 2009 and I have gone through querying, submissions (still going through those, man!), family tragedy, two (TWO!) break-ups and a failed novel. So it feels bloody good to get to the end. Sort of like closing a door on a lot of crap.
70,286 words. They're all sweet of course, but tonight...I like the last four best.
And now to print it out, give it a hug, and pick up my red pen.
Yay, congrats!! I can't wait to read Book 1. Not long though...
ReplyDeletewoohoo! Writing The End is always a great feeling. It's like the end of an era, and the beginning of the Time of Revision :)
ReplyDeletewahoo! congrats. awesome feeling.

ReplyDeleteWoohoo!
Congrats! I wish I had doves to release for you or a horn or something! So huge!
ReplyDeleteWoot! You must feel amazing right now! Let yourself bask in that feeling :) And of course, congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! Do a happy dance and let that red pen sit idle for a day or two. Just enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Isn't that feeling awesome? God, I love finishing writing novels. Don't forget to take a break when editing! You want those fresh eyes to pick everything up!
ReplyDeleteThanks all!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think I will give it a day or two before or start reading over it again...well maybe A day! Ha!
I just sent it to the company printers to get it printed out. I will DIE of embarrassment if they read any of it. I should have put a very dull cover sheet on it like "Synthetic Fabric Care Guide".
Oh, I bet that feels so good! Congrats on finishing!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, it must feel so good! Congratulations!!!!
