Last week I had the most fantastic weekend. Simon came down from London to stay with me for two nights. I am so very in love with him. There are cute pictures we took inside The Playhouse, but I look really gross in them all. Maybe I should take my camera when I go to visit him on Monday. He's taking me to a bookshop and then for lunch. :)

I finished my first novel yesterday - the one I've been working on for about six years. Printed: it is about two inches thick and is over 72,000 words! Some major editing needs to be done. I will have to give it a haircut of about 25%. I am amazed that I actually finished a piece of written work. I have never moved beyond a second chapter.

I am trying to arrange a viewing for a house in London on Tuesday, it will be suitable if I decide to study in London come September. We have around a month now until we lose this house for good. Bleh!

WOWIE! You finished your novel AND you are having boy fun! You sure know how to make your not-dad happy! Congratulations on all counts. Not-mom says howdy and she is very proud of you for finishing your novel.

Thanks, on all counts, to the both of you! Hi to her! I wish she'd use LJ again. Boy fun is amazing (ask Not-Mom, I'm sure she agrees). Editing my novel is a headache but still a bit fun :)

Cool! Congratulations! So what happens in the end?

And see, I told you that you that you did not have to do any catching up with me as I have not written anywhere near that much haha!

Oh, and I have now read that comment on your photo! :D

Thanks!

All the characters wake up and realise it was a dream, and go back to their ordinary lives.

Jeez, I hope that came across clearly as a joke, but I feel I should point out it WAS a joke anyway, just in case you thought that's how awful I am at writing.

Yes but mine is mostly cock 'n' balls. Where as what I read of yours was ACTUALLY good.

Yes! It was bum slurp city, was it not?!

Haha! I'm sorry, but she has already found out about it and is now publishing a book with this very ending. She said that it should be out towards the end of the year! Although having said that, that was one of the ways in which some people believed that Lost would end. But we now know different. FG!

So how is all the editing and stuff go. I suppose that that is the best part of it now, because all the pressure has gone for actually finishing the thing and now it is all about sorting it out. Did you also stick to the plan you had because I never stick to mine and one chapter usually becomes three Haha!

Oh, absolutely. She was clearly trying to get her foot in the door!

Congratulations! This small book of mine is a proper novella, hopefully the start of many though and that's only about 12k in the word count, it's mental when you print it and think ..is that it?!...after all the work put in, so to do what you've done is brilliant.

I shall hope to be there soon!

Thanks! Me either, until I did this. It's about several different people who start out in different places and end up in the same one. Kinda. Haha, obviously I will need to describe it better when I send it to publishers, if I make it as far.

Well, I hope you do get it as far as publishing because writing a book is pretty exciting.
