Hey, guys, gals, and nonbinary pals!
I finished my book.
And I’m sort of freaking out right now.
I just wrote “END OF BOOK ONE” about five minutes ago, and I’m a mix of being frozen with shock and jumping off the walls with excitement and laughing hysterically like a madwoman.
I honestly have no idea what to do now. I mean, do I jump straight into editing? (I don’t think so…) Do I go read a book? (I don’t think I could, to be honest. I’m too excited.) Do I watch YouTube videos about writing? (I think I will, after I’m done with this blog post.)
But yeah, this whole thing is insane.
I mean, I’m fairly young, and I just finished writing the first draft of a young adult (YA) novel.
Oh, and do you want to know my total word count?
It’s 87,231.
I wrote 87,231 words of a novel.
In under a year.
And I am freaking out.
I think I’m gonna go and watch some YouTube videos about writing now, because I need to relax and just think. (And I think I’ve written enough words for a whole lifetime.) So talk to you all later!
