Sometimes the universe just conspires with you

Arghhh and avast me mateys!

Not only is it International Talk Like a Pirate Day, but guess what? I FINISHED MY FREAKIN' NOVEL! IT'S DONE! THE TOWER!GUY NOVEL IS DONE!

Oh, sorry, let me put that into a piratical poem for you:

Come 'n kick up yer peg legs
Grab a wench and some grog
For I've got wond'rous things
That I'll tell on this blog

Now ye know I been writin'
Aye, the rumours be true
Though the goin' were rough, lads
I'm all the way through!

Through the mornin' and evenin'
Oh, I wrote and I wrote
How I did it with a hook hand
Arghh, I'll say not a mote

I faced the blank pages
With one eye and a patch
The cursor was a-blinkin'
But she were no match

I wrote though them pages
Was blizzardy blank
And I felt a scallywag
Walkin' the plank

But the novel, she's done
And my tale is told
So, aye, pass the rum
And hope it gets sold!


Final word count: 87555 (in Open Office). 308 pages. Twenty-two chapters and an epilogue.

Happy ITLAPD to everyone, and I'm off to find something suitable to celebrate with. Because I'm under budget (word wise) and I came in before my deadline. Thus, I am awesome.

So you know I'm going to want to read the new version, right?

I was actually wondering about that. I'll do another run through spell check and then fire it off to you. Is your normal gmail address all right?

Also, what format would you like it in?
