It’s done!
I can’t believe it.
I was half thinking that this last little bit would just not come (inspiration was stubbornly absent for a bit there) and that I was going to be left with 99.9% of a novel unfinished, and that just like everything else I’d set it aside and never come back to it, but it’s DONE!
Needs editing like whoa, but all the same…
Holy crap!

Dude, talk about exciting! I’m so glad to hear it! There’s just … something so wonderful about hitting the right story. All it takes is inspiration, but it’s so rare to find the perfect motivation! Congratulations! I’m off to check out what you have.
Thank you all for the congrats! I’m still posting pages of this new novel, we’re almost done with part 1.
And, er… I’ve started a second one! This is kind of addicting. I expect this one will take a little longer though. I’ve slowed down some.
Sadly the new one isn’t going to happen any time soon. I’ve gotten stuck, and I’ve barely started it. (And I had a big argument with my boyfriend about it, and I’m still ticked off at him. Bleah.) I’m working on some short stories instead.

I am broke.
VERY broke. This last month has just been a kind of freak month and I’ve had near to zero income. Still! And the bills don’t go away. But I refuse to just beg for money.
I am quite willing, however, to sell stuff. And one of my friends who was very impatient to read the whole novel and didn’t want to wait two more months for the daily updates suggested I just sell it.
I can’t afford to have it printed, but if you would like a complete virtual version of Blood Choice, so you don’t have to wait to see how it ends, you can get one for $10. I take paypal, check, money order, or cash. 😀
Good luck with selling!
Have you considered using Lulu.com? It has no cost to you – they just take a percentage of each book you sell.
I may eventually. But I may not. Publishing through Lulu basically means that I can never publish it through a real publishing house, pretty much.
I am on such a writing kick lately! I’ve been re-doing some of my very old crappy stories, and I just finished re-writing one that’s all about dragons. 🙂 Will probably be web-publishing it eventually.
