Hey guys--I finished my novel! :D
 On December 23rd at 2:24 in the afternoon, I typed the last word of a novel that is 601 pages long, double spaced. It finished up just grand, and I'm very satisfied. I feel poised to launch off into novel two of what I believe will be a trilogy.  What an amazing feeling. Wow. I'm on Cloud 10. Thanks for letting me share.  |

Hearty congratulations on an epic achievement. It must feel fantastic & you should enjoy the feeling a bit before moving into the next one. Have you looked yet at the publishing process? There are those here who can help you with that side as well.
3 cheers for Shadowa!

Congratulation's. I'd love to begin working on my own novel, but plot creation has always been a setback with my writing. Congrats none the less!

Wow, I am so jealous of you, Shadowa! . Great job! 601 pages is a feat I have yet to achieve. You are an inspiration. You know what? You have motivated me to write some more tonight. Perhaps if I keep trying, I'll be in your position in the future. Again, GREAT JOB! I don't know why, but I feel really happy for you. Keep up the good work. |
