Finished Novel!

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh you guys!

Yes that was a direct Legally Blonde quote. Don't judge me.

But really, oh my gosh! I am so excited right now. Because I finished my novel! My first ever finished novel!

I've been working on this baby since about the seventh grade. (I'm now in tenth.) It's called Minds, and it's my masterpiece. It's my baby. I've been working on it forever, constantly continuing it and then stopping again, and now it's finally done!

The first draft, anyway.

But still. It took so long to get me here. First random writing for like two years, then JulNo this year, then AugNo, and now my last couple thousand words today during SeptNo.

The novel is now 93,845 words. It's 160 pages (11 pt font, single spaced) in Word. I am so incredibly proud of myself for getting it this far.

Now I think I'll leave it alone for a while so that I don't have to bleach my eyes in the middle of the month from too much reading of bad writing. (I wasn't as skilled in seventh grade as I am now. Let's just say that.)

So. Progress so far: one finished novel, one WriMo to work on. I'm 2,786 words into SeptNo at this point, so I'm doing well. I'm on track.

Anyway, bed calls. Good night.
