So Today

[sunstruckdream]

...I finished my first draft of my latest novel.



And I wanted to share my utter ecstaticness (yes, I know the word is ecstasy ) with all of you I'm very happy, and am currently considering revision methods.

Thanks for bearing with me.

I know this is horribly belated, but great job - the first draft is always the worst part, at least for me.


I so need to get online more.

...I thought I posted something thanking you all...weird. A lot of my posts have gotten eaten by the server lately, though. Idk why.

But thanks guys! Belated's cool too I'm editing my guts out now...

 

[Tariel]

Ahhh...the best part

 

[sunstruckdream]

I'm enjoying it, yeah I'm only six chapters in and I've lost a lot of word weight - almost 1,000.

So far I've killed a third of my novel while editing....and somehow it feels great.

Good luck with your novel, and have fun!

 

[sunstruckdream]

A third...wow. What was the word count of your first draft?
Thanks Good luck (and fun) to you too!

Hopefully my characters are done restructuring my plot now so that I can begin reconstruction.
