I finished the first draft of my book!!!
A day early and 665 words over the bet with GW. We changed it to 45,000 because I had a whole week I missed of writing when I was busy judging for a couple of contests. Duty calls, you know.
Not that I would let anyone read it at this point. It is a really rough draft and will take quite a bit of revision. Hey, even Nora Roberts says she spits out her story and then goes back through at least twice and revises. And I am really excited about going through and shaping it up. I figure it will end up around 60,000 words once I am through revising it.
But I actually wrote and finished something and it feels so good!
And, instead of getting a Kindle, I opted for a 10 inch Netbook. And I love it, love it, love it! It is small enough to take anywhere with you and can fit into a large purse. It has WiFi capabilities so no matter where I go, I can log on and check emails, surf the net, etc. Not that I wanted one for that reason, of course LOL! But it is so convenient to haul around instead of my big laptop I had to connect and disconnect to everything it is hooked up to.
Here is a pic I pulled off the net to show how compact it is. Mine is the black one:
Now I have no reason not to write anytime, anywhere. I love it, love it, love it! Did I say that already? A friend asked why I didn’t want jewelry. My reply was that I am more interested in things that boot up! She just shook her head. It may have been in disgust, but I’d prefer to think it was amazement.
Poor GW! No double compound saw thingy for him! At least not until later. Like maybe Christmas…
But he tells me it was a win, win situation for him. Bless his sweet heart!
Gaw, I feel so rusty and awkward typing on this blog. It’s only been three months since the last time.
Off to start revisions…and do homework on a online workshop I am involved in…and jot down notes on a new story that is rolling around in my head…
Have a beautiful spring day!
