It took me 25 days of self-egging on, if you will to reach 50,000 words. The result: my first ever complete novel! I am ecstatic to say the least. Today I finally finished the entire story at 55533 words. This is what I would call going above and beyond. I am still basking in the success of actually finishing it and I keep avoiding the task of redrafting that I will have to do. But, yes, I did the first draft in 27 days. I can easily do a redraft and another redraft.
I came across Protagonize, a collaborative writing community and signed up. I'll be posting chapters from my novel up there on my profile as soon as I can. If you want to follow the story, check out my profile here.
Now I think I deserve a luscious bar of chocolate in celebration!
You're incredible! I'm totally blown off after reading 3 chapters of “Princess Petuna and the Fifth Dimension. I think you did great in continuation of the story chapters after chapters. And I like the way that you add small remarks at the top of your story to tell your readers what is going to happen shortly. :)
