the end of the fall

wow.

i'm so excited right now. i just finished my novel and i don't have anyone to shout and scream in jubilation at. waaaa.
i have no idea what the final word count is, because the last few chapters have been hand written in 2 different a4 pads which are a world apart from each other. But i figure it's somewhere around 115,000 words. maybe a bit less. it took an age and a half to finish. i've been working on the last 2 chapters since february - i just didn't have a good ending. but i'm happy with the way it did end. it leads into book 2 nicely.

god... to think it all started as my Nano last year. almost a whole year working on it. i was doing the planning and outlining at this time last year. amazing.

anyway. it's done now, though it still needs a whole tonne of re-writing and re-plotting and Azrynn needs an upgrade in characteristics and stuff, but i'm happy. i'm looking forward to getting home (not 'til april 08) and starting work on the editing.

meanwhile, i'm starting to work on the outline and characters of book 3 of the trilogy. wooo!!
