I just typed THE END at the bottom of first draft of THE BARD'S GIFT.

*Happy Dance*

TBG is my ninth completed novel. Admittedly, the first three aren't going anywhere. Number four was e-published. Number five needs another revision. Number six is currently being queried. Number 7 needs to be rethought. And both number eight and nine are only first drafts, so far.

One of these is going to pay off eventually. [Smile]

Good for you, Meredith. It's a wonderful feeling, until you realize that the draft is just the start!

Everything I've read talks about practice, practice, practice and completed drafts of novels are the best practice I know of.

Amazing, Meredith. I consider finishing one novel an accomplishment, let alone nine. Congrats!

And I add mine to everyone else's congratulations. Now I just have to finish one... whithout suffering enormous amounts of angst over whether it should be leant or leaned.

Just kiddin'

Nothing's more fun about beginning something than being able to bring it to an end...

I'm sure you're time to be published and on a shelf in a bookstore isn't all that far away... not with all the nibbles you've gotten. It's gonna come. I just feel it.

Congratulations on your ninth. Keep up the good work [Wink]

Didn't I just say something nice about this on your Facebook page?!

Congratulations:)

Belated congratulations. I somehow doubt I will ever finish my first one. I consider myself doing well if I finish a short story. My hat's off to you.
