I finished.

Fri Nov 27, 2009, 4:49 PM
Okay guys. Since I do this every time.



I just finished SoF Book 4.

What does that mean?

Not only do I have another complete volume of my SoF series sitting on my computer, but I just finished my entire series over a span of three years.

I have been working on this series, and slaving over it for ten years.

I just completed rough, first drafts, of the ENTIRE series, start to FINISH. In three years.

SO!

Here's my tally!


SoF Book 1 (started in 2006)


Word Count: 103,332

Page Count: 209

SoF Book 2 (2007)


Word Count: 135,830

Page Count: 307

SoF Book 3 (late 2007, early 2008)


Word Count: 190,078

Page Count: 402

SoF Book 4 (NaNo 2008- NaNo-2009)


Word Count: 233,336

Page Count: 465


Total Series:


Word Count: 662,526

Page Count: 1,383


I completed NaNo with the end of Book 4, and wrote 65k since November 1st, which is 121 pages.

PHEW!!!

I'm sorry guys, but I am in shock and a little more than proud of myself for sticking it out this long and this far. I have written seven drafts of book one alone, and in 2006 I finally just told myself to suck it up and pump out the ENTIRE series from start to finish and stop nitpicking and just DO IT.

And I DID! I was SO tired of reaching halfway through book 1 and rewriting everything once I discovered I hated it.

I actually do loathe Book 1 and Book 2 of these drafts, but you know what? Who cares! That's what editing is for!

Thank you ALL who have cheered me on and encouraged me with showing interest in my story. It's still a long, LONG road, and those are a LOT of unedited pages, but I know I can do it. It really means the world to me, this project, and I am forever grateful that you guys have done nothing but encourage this madness! I couldn't have done it without you!

Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to go search for confetti to throw at myself or something.

Or maybe I'll just go veg on the couch. Either way, I win!

Much love and ridiculous excitement,
