My work-in-progress THE IRON HEART has reached “The End.” I’m surprised I didn’t cry. You see, I haven’t finished a full-length manuscript since 2005. Oh, I’ve revised and updated and edited several in those years (for agents and editors). And I wrote two short stories (which are published at The Wild Rose Press). But each time I began a full novel, I would eventually give up on it for one reason or another. I always had some excuse why the story wasn’t working. Not this time. Maybe it was getting an agent early on (who has sadly left her agency and I am now agent-less again), maybe it was several friends urging me on to read more. Whatever the reason, it is done. Well, not DONE done. I still have much revising and editing and polishing to do. I might even add another scene or two. But I’ve reached the end and that is a huge accomplishment in itself. Feel free to pat me on the back. *grin*
That’s fantastic Leslie! Congratulations…I know exactly how you feel, actually.
For me, it’s been months since I wrote anything (since my Dad died) I’m hoping that the edits, etc., that I’m doing for my new book, will help me regain the “spark.”
Again, congrats!!!!
