IT'S DONE!!!
Well, kind of. ^_^; I finished the first draft of BOOK ONE in my trilogy "GIFTED" on March 30th, 2011. That was exactly 5 months since I started writing it during NaNo last November. I suppose you could say it took 7 months, though, since I started working on the outline for it in September 2010.
So stats, for those who are interested:
Page Count: 155
Word Count: 89,880
Draft: first
Now on to the ever-loving editing fun! XD I'm actually a little afraid to go back and do a thorough read-through of my early work. Remember, a lot of the first half of this draft was written during the craziness that was NaNoWriMo, and that involved a lot of late-night writing. I hope I don't cringe too much...lol.
I'm taking a short break from book one, though, to try and solidify my outline for book 2, which is pretty vague right now. I have a couple of scenes worked out, but right now they're just floaters, they don't have a place in the plot yet. Oh, and I have an exam on the 14th. I should probably try and set aside a little time for studying too, yes? XD
