First draft is done!

[jethrien]

Last night, I finished the first draft of the novel I've been working on for the last year and a half! (Working title is The Airship Mechanic.) There's already half a dozen things I need to go back and fix before the writing group gets it in two weeks, but there's a beginning and an end and 125,000 words between those two things. Huzzah!

Woohoo! Congratulations! This is already a noteworthy achievement, and I hope you will celebrate it.

Yaaaaaay! Congratulations! I am so impressed and excited for you. :D

Congratulations! That's wonderful! I don't suppose you need yet another test reader? :)

Not this round. I think the current plan is to dump draft one on the writing group. But once I fix that set of things, draft two will need some readers. I don't want to get too much feedback all at once and get overwhelmed, and I'll need someone to tell me how the revisions turned out.

I suspected you didn't need readers at the moment, but I had to ask anyway, because I have this suspicion that reading a jethrien novel would be FRICKIN' AWESOME. Please keep me in mind for the next revision. :)

I hope so. I have my doubts at the moment.

*Happy dance*

Well done, you!

Congratulations!! (Sounds steampunkish--is it?)

Quite. A pregnant clockmaker gets a job on an airship cruise line on the eve of the Franco-Prussian War.

Ooh! Did you base any of it on your clock-fixing project in college?

[jethrien.livejournal.com]

Only a little.

Woot. When you're ready for more test readers, let me know :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!! MAJOR SUCCESS!

That's the hardest part right, finishing the first draft?

If you need a beta reader, let me know =D

I've got a first set lined up, but I'll let you know if I need help with the second set.

Well done you! Now you should revel in your success and lord it over everybody!
