Congratulations!

[starfoozle]

*grins* Thanks!

[starfoozle]

Ooh, cake!

Haha, yes, my goal was to write a novel in thirty days. With a lot of word-padding, freakish levels of caffiene and determination, and a little bit of futzing with the space-time continuum, I managed to get it completed. I'm really quite gleeful about this whole thing. :D

[starfoozle]

I....honestly have no idea when it's going to be presentable. The thing is, it's in such a rough state right now that it's basically brain-dumps and ramblings in a word document, and just an utter mess. It will probably get pared down a good bit too and be closer to novella length when it's done.

My timeframe is between now and the end of the year -- I'm so tired of it right now that I don't want to see it for a while, but I'll pick it back up in a few weeks, I expect, and work on it in chunks.

Rest assured that you'll see it in the future, though. I've worked far too hard on this puppy to just put it away and forget about it after this! *grins*

[persephone_kore]

Yaaaay!

[starfoozle]

Hee, thanks. It's good to be finished. :D

[layrenelement]

See, I told you, that you could do it!!! You go girl!!!

[starfoozle]

Y'know, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you, so you deserve as much credit as I do for this. Thanks, pal. :D

Also, adorably-cheery Teal'c for the win!

HOLY CRUD THAT'S A LOT OF WORDS IN ONE MONTH. CONGRATULATIONS!

According to Stephen King, the best way to write a book is to vomit it all out in under two months, and then put it in a drawer and ignore it for six. You've already got the former done, and evesdropping on these other comments, it doesn't seem like you'll mind the latter, haha.

[starfoozle]

Ha, thanks. :D

Stephen King is a very clever man. Okay, creepy as hell, yes, but when it comes to writing I'm inclined to take his advice. You've read his book on writing, then? I mean to at some point, I just haven't gotten around to it quite yet.
