Finished!

by Caroline Smailes on July 8, 2009

I’ve finished the first draft of my 4th Novel, 99 Reasons Why**.

One draft down, only 47563 drafts to go.

(hooray hooray, hooray!) (oh. my. goodness. 4 novels!) (seriously, I’ve written 4 novels! )

** working title, real title will be longer.

Don’t you ever worry you’ll run out of words? You must have drained the dictionary already. Congratulations.

Helen M Hunt - and congratulations to you too!

Carol - 4!!!

David O’Connor Thompson - I’m terrified the ideas will stop. I’ve 10,000 words of novel 5 written and haven’t thought about novel 6 yet. What if I’ve no more ideas? ahhhh.

Rachel Green - thank you!

Lucy Diamond - it’s the ‘doing it’ before the kids finish school push :)
