| I finally finished typing up my baby! I have tried to correct as many grammatical issues as possible. I know this is only a first draft, but I am so proud of myself. It has been a long road to get this down on paper. If anyone wants to check it out go to

| Good for you. I kept finding mistakes in one of my novels 12 times of edits. Hang in there. keep us posted |
| I find myself in a strange place today. As long as I have been writing, and it is not that long, I have NEVER finished a long story. This one is not quite a novel. Maybe could be considered a novella or just a really long short story. This story has floated on the fringes of my imagination for quite some time. Since I wrote the piece long hand, I am in the process of typing it up now. I guess the next big hurdle is the dreaded editing process. One step at a time I guess. I am just dealing with a mixture of feelings, surprise, and a bit of pride, that I actually finished a project. The other feeling is fear. Fear of editing and fear that my piece will not be good enough for publication. I am getting ahead of myself I know. Anyway, I am taking a bit of time to give myself a pat on the back and say, "I did it!" |
| In my opinion, editing is always easier with "fresh eyes". Type it up, then walk away from it for a bit. They re-read it and you will see the boo-boos and the stuff that could be polished up and made better. Congratulations on your accomplishment and good luck! |
| Congratulations. I get the fear part I also fear that it is a freak event that I will not be able to replicate, even after 14 books. I also get a little depressed that I don't get to play with that group of characters on a daily basis anymore. Then I remember the concept of sequels Congratulations and enjoy the waves of emotions that come with it. |
