It's sometimes a surprise to find out that hard work and perseverance really do pay off. I have been making myself write, just ignoring all the reasons not to and freaking doing it, and now I have finished my first draft!
That's right. I have the first draft of a fantasy novel for (female) young adults! I am so chuffed with myself I can't even really believe it.
I can now print it off and start the redraft process, and when I go on holiday I am allowed to take a new notebook and get started on my *next* novel! Which is not to say that the rewrite will be done by then, just that I am keen to start the next one and I might as well start while I am keen about it. But I will put it off for two more weeks and keep my headspace YA fantasy centric.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
