NOVEL R. TEH. DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[megwrites]

It's done, it's done, it's done!

122,585 words, in total (which, after revisions will probably go down to >110k, thank you monkey!god.)

424 pages in Open Office

34 chapters, plus epilogue and prologue

So now, I get to sink into what matociquala has referred to as "post-novel ennui", go out of town to see my sister get married, come back, let it sit in a drawer for a bit, and then revise it and hopefully carve off 10,000-15,000 words.

I LOVE BEING A WRITER.

Congratulations!

Well done, ma'am. So, could someone (me) read it? Or a portion of it? (pretty please?)

[fiction-theory.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Absolutely! I'm actually about to ask for people who'd like to read it and give me comments. What form would you like it in?

If you've got a Word doc you can email me, I can read it on my Palm Pilot - would love to! You can send to me at deadlanguages (at) gmail (dot) com.

Yay!!!

Awesome. Thank you so much for offering to do this for me! Just so I know that you're sure of what you're getting into:

The novel is 120k, fantasy (not high fantasy, but fantasy nevertheless), and probably chock full of mistakes, rough patches, and typos I haven't yet found.

Still in? ;)
