The Rest is Still Unwritten
Unconscious Mutterings, Week 243:
- Crook :: …or by nook
- Career :: …woman
- Freckles :: cute
- Scramble :: the best kind of eggs
- Mistake :: Make sure it’s really your friend’s brother you’re yelling at on the phone–not their DAD! (Got to be one of my top most embarrassing moments ever.)
- Telephone :: Interesting game when you’ve got enough people.
- Thank you :: That is what "Todah" means. (toe…duh!)
- Obstruction :: traffic. Oh! That totally reminds me of a pic I found today
- 24/7 :: TOO…MUCH…COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- SciFi :: I love it. Firefly/Serenity. Star Wars. The Core. A friend is getting me interested in Eureka.
Wow. I am beyond words. Ok. That’s not really true. If it was, I wouldn’t be blogging right now. Anyway, I just finished reading Eclipse this evening after work. Wow. Wow. Wow. Oh. I said that already. It was incredible!! I can’t wait for Breaking Dawn!!! (When is it coming out? A whole freaking year?!?!)
Good thing I have something else to take up my attention. Something I’m even more obsessive about. Something that had me hyperventilating just a little while ago… my novel.
I just finished typing up the final battle scene (I like to write my stories by hand and then type them up) and it hit me: I’m finished. Done. The story’s over. All I have left is the epilogue–the final wrap-up and the laying of the foundation for volume two.
Hence the hyperventilation.
I’ve never actually written and finished a novel before. Short stories, sure. I’ve even got some novels in the back-log that have been fully outlined. But not written. Not finished.
True, I’m not actually finished yet, but I’m not about to stop. After all, volume 2 is my favorite in the series. So, I have a strong motivation. Plus, there’s that other series I want to do…er, two other series. My back-log of stories is more like a flood.
I just can’t believe I’m this close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goodbye words–hello happy-dance!

Sounds like me with the writing… I used to study film and write screenplays… or tried to. Started many but never finished any. Nowadays I’ve got book ideas, non-fiction, hoping to put ‘em into motion eventually.
Now time for some scrambled eggs… but I might not feel like cooking so may have some CHOCOLATE!!!!! (’cause after, it’s wayyyyyyyyy better than vanilla!)
See ya

Yikes! I got far behind in reading your novel… I can’t print it out anymore since it costs at my library… I’ll have to read that quickly before you’re completely finished!
