So writing is pretty cool...

Yeah, so I am on a major writing high right now, even though I have to wake up in a few hours to finish a paper, have a headache, and am tired as crap. I've been working on a fantasy novel with my boyfriend since June 2010. Just one hour ago, I finished the final scene in it. Length-wise, before I write two short scenes that have to be added in, it's just short of the word count of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (the book, not the script :mrgreen:). I am so excited to have gotten to this point. I have put so much of my heart and soul into this thing. All that's left is to do a small bit of writing, edit, start on the second book, find an agent, and get this sucker published. I cannot explain in words what this feels like, you guys.

So I just really wanted to post about this because I am so happy about getting this far that I could explode into a million fireworks.

I'm going to try to sleep now, so feel free to ask me questions about this enormous project (Let's just say 15 books is the minimum), and I will answer them when I get on again (if there are questions, that is).

So what are you working on?

Carl-E:
Final exams.

Congrats! Getting to that last bit is amazing. Unfortunately, my own fantasy novel (see sig, follow link to a posting of most of it here in the forums) has stalled out in rewrite. I have an ending, but I'm not happy with it and need to rework it all. The last couple of years I've been concentrating more on restructuring my life around some kind of video/film/TV career, so haven't done any writing for a while, but I feel I'm getting back to a place where I can start doing it again with the dedication it needs.

I did manage to sell one science fiction short story a few years back, however, so I'm an associate member (not quite a full member, you need 3 short story sales, or 1 novel sale for that) of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and I've been active in exposing publishing scams of various sorts, so while I may not be able to give you direct advice on how to get published, I can point you towards good resources, and help you avoid bad deals, so feel free to PM or post any questions you may have about the process.

I think my friend and I will be writing a radio play piece for January, which is really exciting. At the moment, its my final week of university and I'm writing an essay on duality in the understanding of the self in Jekyll and Hyde & The Importance of Being Earnest. Not the easiest of papers but something I'm trying to write well, because I've already hit 2000+ words and don't feel like i've really explained myself at all.

Carl-E:
Have you seen this thread? 

We could use some material...
