FINISHED!!!

[dweomeroflight]

So I've finally finished my first year of uni... this feels weird : / But at least I can now get back to my story...

I'm kicking myself because I've finished reading Feeling Sorry for Celia and Finding Cassie Crazy by Jaclyn Moriarty, nearlly killing myself with laughter at how great (and funny) they are, and now I don't have the next two books...

I'd love to read some of your poetry! That would be briliant! And yes I am Carol on Deepgenre, how did you figure that out? LOL I've hit a halt with my story kinda, but at a good place. I actually finsihed my first draft, but it was a bit shorter than i wanted. I wanted about 80 K (just a short novel) but only got about 75 K in the end, but I just kinda went with the 'get it down on paper' thing and fix up later. So I managed to do half the fixing up in my lunch breaks at work, on paper, need to put it into the computer now. I was lucky (or unlucky??) in the finsihing of my writing...I was made redundant earlier in the year (I'm a geologist) but they still made us come to work for 2 weeks, so I pretended to work ona report but just wrote my story instead. Thats when i got it completed. Hang in there, I have a feeling you are going to have a brilliant story you have a real way with words. When I was writing I set myself weekly limits of 5000 words, which I found really good as it made sure I was progressing. History would be great to study, what type of history? I want to retrain, my hubby is also in the resource industry so we have too much travel and never get to see each other. I have put in my application to study vet at Murdoch, fingers crossed! I have to apply as an adult student now, haha I must be getting old! LOL

Is it safe to say my email on here? I'm still new to LJ. I would really like to read some of your poetry.

nah it's O.K. I'll just private message you one of my poems on LJ and then if you think that one is bearable i'll send you some more :)
Now that I'm off uni its been easier to write my story :) I'm probably writing about 5000 a week atm. During uni though it was really tough to factor in time to write, what with assignments and all. I'm aiming to have finished my first draft by the end of this year (fingers crossed).
My novel will probably sit at around 80K, though when i go through and edit and add in stuff it might be a bit more.
