Today is a Good Day

I've been writing a book/manuscript for the past few months because I just wanted to see if I could and it's finally finished!! I seriously cant believe that all those nights of waking up with a new idea and scribbling down in my jotter only to then try and decipher my midnight scrawl are over. OK so my first draft is done meaning I'm going to be completely OCD about going through and checking everything, and I mean everything. I started writing the last three chapters last night plus an epilogue that I had already semi created. The end of the book was the hardest to write. Why? I don't even know. I knew what went on, I knew what I wanted to happen but I couldn't find the right words to express what I wanted to say. Amazingly, last night, something just seemed to click and I started writing and didn't stop til about an hour ago. Oh yes I've been up all night writing. Countless red bulls have been drunk and my eyes have closed so many times that I lost count but I couldn't stop writing. Once I know what I'm writing I just roll and continue to do so until I hit a brick wall or, in my case, the end. No one was more surprised than me when I wrote the last word and then I sat back and just stared. And then got up and did a little jig around my room just because I could. Music helped me a lot during the last three chapters and I found myself listening to a lot of classical music.But I just thought I'd share it with you all. I havent been updating often and I have no excuse but pure laziness. Well I mean last night I had an excuse but still I'm not going to say I'm back to blogging normally until I really dont have anything to do. I feel like yesterday never ended and is still on going today. Well I guess thats what writing well into the night does to you. I just now need to find someone, once I've been through the entire few hundred pages, to read it for me. They say to find someone unbiased but that would mean giving it someone I hardly know. Everyone who knows me will be biased, although I think I have an idea who will read and I think she does as well. OK I'm going to stop writing now, I think I need to my fingers have done nothing than see my keypad for the past nine/ten hours. They, like I, need a rest...


# New Moon Review coming up soon enough - maybe today? - depending on what I get up to this evening...(in a nutshell? I actually liked it. Why all the hate?)
