I am so close<\/em> right now to finishing my second full novel, Genesis Earth<\/em>.\u00a0 Just two more scenes.\u00a0 One final scene to wrap up the chapter, and the epilogue to finish the book.<\/p>\n

Am I excited?\u00a0 Am I pumped up?\u00a0 I guess.\u00a0 Right now, the thing that’s on my mind the most is getting this story out to my first readers.\u00a0 I’m eager to hear their reactions to the story, and the fact that I have about a dozen people waiting for me to email them the completed draft gives me a lot of motivation to finish the thing.<\/p>\n

To be honest, though, this novel has always been like…I don’t know, the second choice girl you always go back to because she doesn’t say no (speaking theoretically, of course, and not from experience (A) ).\u00a0 Up until the last month, it’s always been the project I worked on when I didn’t have anything else to do–and now that 318 has started again, I’m trying to get rid of it as fast as I can so I can focus on that one.<\/p>\n

Still, for the weird fluke that it’s been, I’m pretty satisfied with it.\u00a0 I know it’s a rough draft–it still feels like one–and it’s going to need a lot of polishing, but I’m happy to almost have it finished (how weird is that?\u00a0 like being engaged to be engaged?) I guess, I just mean that the thought of having another novel under my belt is something I’m looking forward to.<\/p>\n

I guess I’m not in a position to sit back in the overstuffed easy chair in my library and expound on the process of writing this novel, especially since the rough draft isn’t even finished.\u00a0 But it will<\/em> be finished within the next 24 hours, even if I have to kill myself (or at least sacrifice my homework) to get it done!\u00a0 And when that’s done, I can do all the expounding I want!\u00a0 Yay for motivation.<\/p>\n

Oh, and there’s other stuff I should write about, but it’s 2:30 AM and in case you haven’t noticed, I’m feeling rather loopy.\u00a0 Gnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
