And Now For Something Completely Different

So, it's done & I'm a little iffy on the idea. It seems both fabulous & very odd that it's done. The story i used this year is one that'd been kicking around in the back of my head for a couple of years now & to actually have it out & completed... is strange. It's been on my mind for so long & now it's gone, like a song that finally quits playing after being stuck in your head for ages. Good, but just a bit jarring when you notice it's absence.

CJ, it is fairly nice, yes. Both energizing & a little serene. But alas, no rest for the wicked. My ML talked me into doing NaNoFiMo & now that I've finished with this year's book, I'm dragging out an old one, my NaNo form '03. And I've gotta say... I'm a bit trepidatious about opening the thing. While I am rather interested to see what I can make of this year's during rewrites, I'm less sure about the old one. Yes, I know, it'll never get finished until I reread it & start writing, It's been ages since I read it & I'm afraid I'll open it & hate it or won't be able to get back into the mindset to finish.

I know, I know...nothing for it but to open the bloody thing & get started.

So, dear readers, have you ever had a project you had trouble starting or sticking to? Any favorite tricks when starting rewrites?

It's Done!

I just finished the epilogue this afternoon. I have an a actual, whole book that I wrote. How 'bout that? Sorry, I'd be more pithy, but it's 4:30 in the afternoon & I haven't been to bed yet, lol. Not related to finishing the book, just how it is. But still....

I wrote a whole book!

And come New Year's or thereabouts, comes rewrites.
