Im finally finished!

J.S Greer · Jan 24, 2007

Im not usually one to brag, but Tonight, I finished my first ever novel.

Its only a first, and I have a lot of work ahead, but I am as pleased as I can be.

I just wanted to share, since a lot of you helped me through, whether you know it or not.

Thanks everyone, Im going to dance now. :partyguy:

Congratulations! That is an awesome accomplishment. Good Luck.

I bawled when I finished my first, especially since I had nobody to tell. Congratulations! Now shove it into a drawer, draw a pic, eat some chocolate, take a bubblebath, take a walk, have a facial, go to a nightclub, buy some clothes! You deserve it!

bylinebree · Jan 24, 2007

Dancing right along with you! :snoopy:

Brag, Brag and Brag. On this board especially. Great work.
Put it somewhere you cant find it; for the next 6 weeks. The In laws house might be a good idea

Fantastic accomplishment, well done!! You have a right to feel proud of yourself. Now, take a short break and tackle those rewrites and edits!

san_remo_ave · Jan 24, 2007

Many congratulations!

Here's hoping to follow in your footsteps one day (finishing the 1st novel, I mean and posting in celebration... I keep abandoning storylines.... tho the good news is each time I manage to write a longer story before jumping ship, so I'm holding onto the hope I'll actually make it to "The End" some day....)

But I digress.

C O N G R A T S again!!

Chasing the Horizon · Jan 24, 2007

Congratulations! Wish I could say the same....(or maybe not because then I'll have to edit and rewrite

)

roach · Jan 24, 2007

Congratulations! Bragging is entirely appropriate.

Michelle Hoppe · Jan 24, 2007

Awesome. Congrats on finishing!

jess b · Jan 24, 2007

Good work!!!

ChunkyC · Jan 24, 2007

Good for you, JS! It's a great feeling, isn't it?

I've told this story here before ... when I finally typed THE END in my first novel, I ran out to tell my wife....

"I did it! I did it!"

"Did what?"

"I finished it!"

"Finished what?"

"The novel. My book. I finished it, I actually wrote a whole novel!"

"That's nice, dear. What do you want for supper?"

alaskamatt17 · Jan 24, 2007

Nice work JS!

ChunkyC, that's sad and funny at the same time. It reminds me of the response my parents had when I finished my first novel.

finch · Jan 24, 2007

Great job seeing it through, JS! Roach has it absolutely right on the bragging bit.

icerose · Jan 24, 2007

Congrats!!!!!!!! :hooray:

Gabriel · Jan 24, 2007

I shake you warmly by the hand! Congratulations! The check is in the mail. . .well the voucher. . .okay I'll be honest, it's a free sample of soap.
Congrats anyway! :hooray:

Nickie · Jan 24, 2007

Congratulations! It's always a good feeling, finishing a novel. I remember how I felt when I finished my first one.. So enjoy!

Thanks alot everyone... It's great to be able to share something like this with other people who have done the same/are working towards the same. This is a huge moment for me.

To those of you who havent gotten there yet, you will. Just trust me.
To those of you who have, I finally understand what a big deal it is.

The AW forums have helped me poilish and even finish my wip over the past year or two. This place is like a spinning stone, always sharpening our blades. I owe many thanks for that.

Im going to sit on it for a month before I edit, although im fighting the urge to do it now.

Sury · Jan 24, 2007

Great going, JS! Treat yourself to something nice. GOOD LUCK with the edit!

aadams73 · Jan 25, 2007

Only your first?? Please, too many writers never do finish a novel! Give yourself credit for a job well done!

Saundra Julian · Jan 25, 2007

Congratulations! Now, make the editing a fun thing...

Im finally finished!
