It’s Done.

Hey kids!

I would like everyone to take just a second to read over the title. No crazy punctuation, not a zillion !!, not even all caps. That’s kinda how I feel about it. I finished the book Monday night and while it felt good to know that I can stop pulling my hair out about it, and I did do a short three some odd minute victory dance (to “Teenage Dream” mind you), I’m just feeling kinda blah about the whole thing. I don’t know what exactly I expected to feel, but I was sure it would be a much more satisfying experience. I mean, I’ve been working on the stupid thing for 10 weeks. That’s a long time. The last book I wrote took me 6 weeks. Granted it’s shorter and not as good, but still 6 weeks. I feel a little let down with myself. I should have been done a lot sooner. I set so many deadlines to be done, but I finally got there. I guess slow is better than never.

I’m still going to send it out on Friday. I’m editing like a boss to the point that I’m getting delirious and headache-ish from lack of sleep. I didn’t go to bed until about 1 this morning since I was up fixing all my screw ups. Apparently I have a difficult time with punctuation. There were a lot of problems, but that’s what proof-reading is for.

I think my lack of excitement stems from the fact that now I have nothing to do. Of course I plan to read. First up is the Booky Wook series from Russell Brand and then as soon as I can get my hands on a copy I plan to check out “13 Reasons Why”. It’s on the “must read” list put together by some book website. I’ve heard it good. But after I read, then what??

I had an idea for a new project present itself while I was finishing the book. It might be good and fun. May need to find a bowling ally to research in (haha. I’m still working in Syracuse).

So yeah, I just thought I’d let everyone know that I finished. Who knows what will happen next, but it’s going in the mailbox on Friday. Fingers Crossed!!
