So here it is. Finished. For some weird reason, I'm almost ashamed to admit that the manuscript for my 12 plus novel has been 9 years in the making and began taking shape soon after my youngest was born. However, before you decide that I must have been carving it out a word at a time, I would point out that, no, I hadn't been working on it the whole time.
I would have exploded
Am laughing so much Addy!Firstly - CONGRATULATIONS on getting it writ and good luck with it, secondly, YES I KNOW, I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW!!! I wish their was a type script where all the letters had been thrown in the air then trampled on, that's where my TehndE is at the moment ;o) Thank you x
HURRAH!!! :D
You missed out<br /><br />Theeeeeeee <br />Ennnnnnnnnnnd! <br />Whoo hoo!<br /><br />Thanks for the laugh and nine years isn't all that long. Some books like to emerge slowly.
I love the popping balloon! This is really funny. I think some ideas just need their time to mature. I keep telling myself that those are the best - we'll see! (I've got one hanging around too).
Awww What a wonderful piece and I have a feeling we all get this! Well done ... keep going ... keep going!
Great post - and a lesson in perseverance for us all.

Actually, I rather liked the colourful one near the end. Calming down is over-rated:)<br /><br />Good luck with it!
Great post and good luck with the novel! I'm a long way from the end in my own novel but I'm already choosing colours and fonts.
Go Addy, go Addy! This is fantastic. I'm SO excited for you and keeping everything crossed. I think Anne Michaels' books generally take about that long. Absolutely nothing to feel ashamed of. Looking forward to celebrating the beginning of the next part of its journey with you soon.
I know EXACTLY how you feel! My fingers always get a bit shaky when I write The End, I don't think I could cope with any more than that.<br /><br />Good luck and I can't wait to hear the rest!
Best of luck, Addy! Just think of all the possibilities...
With you all the way, Kathy!
Good luck to you too!
I love that you've said this twice.
:D)
Thanks, Thomas! I've picked out who will star in the film
cheers, Sue. Colours and fonts, I'm good at should you ever need a second opinion
Thanks, Clare! And thanks to you for looking at it as well... see you soon.
Thanks, Jo!
Thanks, Jackie!
Thanks, M. I'm hoping to cut it down to 7 years for the next one
No more possibilities! It'll add another 2 years!x
so funny, and so true! Sending something out when you know it is the best you can make it is absolutely freaking TERRIFYING.<br />All my fingers and toes are crossed for you - which makes typing very difficult (I'm using my nose)
You have a truely talented nose, Teri but please untie yourself so that you can finish your next best seller this morning - me, jealous of your prodigious work rate?? yes. x
Keep going!
Colours and fonts!
Congratulations on being brave enough to let it go! Hoping hard for a happy tenehd-ing ...
Oh well done - on staying with it, finishing it and letting it go. Your post is timely for me - I've just finished the book I've been working on alongside all my other writing for nearly 20 years - it's as good as it can be, I love it, I'm proud of it... but I haven't quite managed yet to brace myself for sending it out into the world.
Whoop! Some of 'us' (not that I'm pointing any fingers at me) just never seem to write THE END! Well<br />Done. I'm sure it's finding it's home as we speak...good luck. :)
Hi Addy. We could have been writing buddies! I've been taking exactly the same journey except that mine's taken even longer - so long that I'm ashamed to type the number. We could have at least waved to each other along the way!<br />I've also done other stuff - some even got published, but this one particular novel has kept pulling me back to to one last, final, edit. The m/s has
Thanks, Jane!
Courage to you, Jenny!
Hi, Karen! Thanks!
Hi Lois - waving! Success right back at you!
