I Did It

I just finished editing my novel. I was giving myself until the end of the month, but I just did it. And I wrote THE END.

Fanflippin'tastic!

I am SO stoked. :D

Hip hip hooray! Wow, that was fast. I'm impressed.

Are you ready to send it out?

Janna Leadbetter said...

Yay! Thanks! I think it was about 3 months of editing? *figures dates* Yup. Whew!

Not quite, but almost. I can taste it. I'm going to print the whole thing out today, for a good looking through. I don't foresee much other than typos and such(does that sound presumptuous? smack me), but we shall see. I haven't started the synopsis OR query letter yet, so those will be next. I'll give myself through July, but hopefully I can do them in a couple weeks? I don't know what to expect.

Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow! That's SO exciting! Take a little time off so you can see it with fresh eyes. Yay!

Travis Erwin said...

Many congrats. I'm actually very frustrated with my edits right now. I just can't get the final few chapters where I want them.

Janna Leadbetter said...

Mel, I'm excited, too - I've been doing bootie shakes all morning! :D

Thanks so much, Travis! Good luck to you as you work through your frustrations to more satisfying edits. Keep me posted!
