OMG! I wrote the last scene!

[slashweaver]

There is still much to do, but this felt too momentous a thing to leave for my end-of-month review...

I have just written the last scene of my first draft of the Keats novel. Hurrah! *faints* *thud* *scrambles back up again*

After a few days' good run of writing, I am done. For now at least. It's all too short, I fear, currently clocking in at 51,800 words. But it feels good. These last days have been all about the drama of the climax and denouement. I think it works. It feels solid.

Next to do: have some select friends read it for me; ponder my own thoughts; carefully consider their feedback; work on a second draft. Start sending it out to potential agents!

Oh god - after all these years of thinking and wishing and being afraid to even start, this feels so damned good!

Oh, how could you :P Colin is really disappointed.
No, I'm just joking here of course, James McAvoy is a great actor <3

James is truly great, isn't he...?

Though, hey, once Colin realises he has me completely wrapped around his little earlobe, then obviously he'll know he can star in anything I write. Anything at all. In any role. Without even having to ask.

slashweaver quaffs her wine and begins warbling: 'When Irish eyes are smiling, sure, tis like the morn in Spring. In the lilt of Irish laughter, you can hear the angels sing...'

Sorry I haven't replied earlier but I'm just so busy these days *sigh*

So maybe it's a good thing he doesn't know about it yet ? This way he'll have to prove himself for the part :P I could think of some tests if you like >.< :P
