No feeling like it on earth! I was very excited when I realized Old Dogs (yes, the very story I'm complaining about in the previous post) was done. The hard part is coming, but it's your baby and it's great and I wish for you a painless-as-possible polishing and editing process. OD is my first story to get to this stage so I don't if that's why I'm having so much difficulty with it or if I'm just special ;-)
Steph's (Page2) post about her wonderful accomplishment in finishing the first draft of her book got me thinking. In the past year or so, several of us Lit Forum babes have completed manuscripts, some to the final, polished draft! So kudos to:
Debi (rough draft of Old Dogs)
Page2 (rough draft of Remembrance)
susiej (final draft of Beneath the Trees)
dea (final draft of Heights of Abraham)
Page (rough draft of Carey On)
(My abject apologies if I've left anyone out! Just let me know and I'll edit tout de suite!)
Congratulations to all of us. And I must add that you are ALL one of the main reasons I finished mine, and one of the main reasons I continue to edit and polish it.
