the end

July 17, 2007

That’s it. The End. At 17.40pm today, a few weeks later than I planned, I typed the last sentence of my novel, I have written 80,000 words in two months and a few days. But that was the easy bit. The difficult part is getting it published. Later this week I will email it to a literary agent and then I must sit back and wait. Now, since it is my birthday, it is time to go out and drink pink champagne.

Or, as I would predict, "The Beginning"....

Good on you gal! I knew you had in you. When are you starting on the sequel? Have a glass of pink champane for me. You deserve it.

I predict - I don't know why - that you won't be waiting too long. Good luck and keep up the blog.

HUGE congrats - I bet your fingers are typed down to stumps. Finishing on your birthday sounds most pleasing......it'll be published by the time the next one comes round. Mind you - working at that rate you could polish off another two........come on chop, chop! x

Congratulations Mimi! That's a fantastic achievement. I'm sure it will be a really great and amusing read. Looking forward to getting my copy and I'll be honoured if you'll please sign it.
Wishing you lots of luck with publishers and agents.
