Another novel down!

I have been in a vacuum this month that, alas, did not involve blogging, but did involve finishing my novel Rising Book 2: Rebellion. I finally, finally finished writing it today. It clocks in at just over 185,000 words, making it not only the most emotionally draining book I've ever written, but the longest one as well. Editing it is going to be so much fun. O_o

But it's WRITTEN. *throws confetti*

    Buy yourself some ice cream, you deserve a treat for finishing that. :)

    Again, congratulations!

  2. So excited for you, Laura. I know this has been a tough write. And I'm sure the editing won't be a picnic either.

    1. Thank you, Donna! It will be a lot easier to edit now that I cut a third of it, LOL.

    1. Thanks, Donna! I'm down to about 123,000 words now--you have to love beta feedback leading to slashing a third of the manuscript. ;)

  6. Major accomplishment! Editing IS fun. Writing the first drafts is not. I'd be throwing confetti too if I were you.

    1. Oh, I know! It's so much easier to work with a book once the whole draft is there and I can see what I need to do with it.

  11. I love a really long involved book. It messes with my reality, I forget what is part of my life and what is part of the story. Exciting!!

  14. Remember that CPAP machines treat the symptoms and will not cure your sleep apnea. The CPAP mechanically forces your airway to stay open while you sleep by continuously passing air through your airways. Although it will help your apnea symptoms, you will have to make other changes in your life if you actually want to cure your sleep apnea.satta king
