shadowkatWa-hoo! I finished my novel! I finished my novel! It clocks in at 96,973 words and approximately 255 pages. It only took me two years and three months to write. Best thing I've ever written in my humble opinion.
Now, comes the hard part. Revising? Nope. Having other people read it. Then sending it to literary agents and publishers. Then working on the next book in the series. Hopefully, with a full time job, I can clock in a novel every two years. Not giving up the day job any time soon. I come from a long line of frustrated novelists and artists on both sides of my family.
Feeling very proud of myself right now. Even if nothing comes of the novel. There's an odd feeling of accomplishment when you've completed one.

Re: Congratulations!
Date: 2007-05-13 04:33 pm (UTC)that is a theme which seems so important on such a basic level. It seems to me that a lot of unhappiness comes from trying to keep things the same while in fact the only constant in life is that everything is always changing (growing, dying). Happiness can only come from adapting to change, but of course I'm always stuck in a rut! LOL
