Yeah, you.
Guess what?
I typed THE END on your face!
So obviously, I finished my novel FOUR last night. Fittingly, this is the fourth novel that I have finished.
Official stats:
96,463 words (a few more after I spell checked. I like to cram words together. Must be because I was born in Germany.)
181 pages (I like to type single-spaced.)
I don't have the same elation that I did when I finished my first novel, but I am still UBER HAPPY. This is definitely the cleanest draft I've put out. It was hard as hell, but I think I'll appreciate my own efforts when it's time to revise.
Revisions are still going to suuuuuck, though. I like to introduce idea threads, then forget about them. Whoops!
But, hey. I'm done. And now I finally feel like I can crit and read and do things without my novel looming over my shoulder. At least for a few weeks, right? Yeah.
I wrote this post right after I finished writing, so the brain is spent. I have many thoughts about the writing of this one, and I always like to Wordle my work, so I'll have a few posts next week.
Until then, pop it like it's hot.
And happy Easter!
*not you. My novel.

YAYAYAYA!!! I knew you would do it!
Also, it's totally worth the extra effort to end up with a cleaner first draft, IMOP. I'd much rather take an extra month writing the first draft, than take an extra month revising
Congratulations! It's always such an exhilerating feeling.
Might we ask your plans, contemporary or self publishing? If you plan on querying when do you foresee that process starting?
Congratulations way to end the month.
Congratulations! :) *bowing*
Congratulations!!
Congrats!! So amazing!

Showed it who's boss! :D
Congrats and well done! I have my second novel somewhere in my publisher's vault. Soon it will come back to me for edits. After that, I will need to begin writing book three. I think I am leaning toward something altogether different for that WIP, other than the third book in my Christian/horror crossover. No matter what it is, I look forward to writing "The End" all over its... Face, was it? Just wanted to make sure I had the anatomy correct... ;)
