well, girls (and guys).... drum roll, please!
Today I finished The Novel.
Well, ok, so I finished the First Draft. But, you've got to understand... it's only taken me since the fall of 1988.... that means it's been a whopping 18-1/2 years I've spent on this. So at least let me take a deep breath and say "whew."
Enny hoo. It's off to the primary editors, namely family and friends who've promised to sharpen their red pencils and give me good criticism. Hopefully it won't be another 18 years before I've worked thru all that.
Will keep you posted, as always.

Congrats! Is it historical fiction?
I, the former newspaper reporter who sometimes feels like motherhood has taken every creative braincell I once had, am currently working my way through The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron- in an effort to get writing again.
It could be said to be historical fiction, if the 1980s qualify as history.... and in some people's minds, that was "back in the day."
There is a synopsis & more info on the website...
