Finally!

Lilly's picture

I finished my book!!!!!! Its taken me nearly seven years since I started writing. (I spent a few years hardly even thinking about it and I've started over about five times before I started on the one I actually finished!!!!!) Now I get to go back through and fix stuff and add stuff and make it all nice and sparkly so that people can read it! And best of all, My daddy wants to read it!!!!

Wow!

That’s amazing! :D I’m sure it’s taken some real dedication.

Of course that one comes easily when it’s your passion.

Two things that a guy cannot look manly while doing:

1) Drink from a straw

2) Apply chapstick

Guns don't kill people... Dads with pretty daughters kill people.

YAY!

I want everybody to read it! And tell me what's wrong with it so I can fix it!

I'm waiting for a handsome prince.

“Yeah,” Ilor said, beginning to laugh, “they'd kill us because they're pirates!”

Well,

I mean grammer and things like "Hey what the heck did that mean cuz I was totally lost."

Or things like "There is no way that is possible.", "Lilly dropped out of character for three chapters." , "That would have killed him much sooner.", and "Why didn't they just do this?"

The last one is important because I was watching a clip on youtube a few days ago that showed an alternate ending to Lord of the Rings. As much as I love LotR I have to admit that flying to Mordor on the eagles and having most of the fellowship distracting Sauron at the gate while Gandalf flew Frodo over the top of the mountain so he could drop the ring in makes alot more sense than taking a year, Borimir's life, Frodo's health, and having to look at Orlando Bloom for two and a half three hour movies. =P

This is me begging for help before youtube gets me.XD

hm.

Friend of mine grammar isn't, so i wouldn't not be much of help in there. :P

i don't really notice other stuff like the stuff you mentioned that i'm not gonna bother typing.

and about the youtube thing, one of my friends showed me that, it was funny. XD

So you think you're done, eh?

*runs around screaming like an ecstatic maniac*

I'm very happy for you! You have just reached a milestone most "writers" never even come close to.

But, as someone who has been there before you, I caution you not to believe to strongly that you are truly done. Seven years doesn't wash away that easily. The story will continue to haunt you for years to come and you will pursue it, making changes, adapting it, repairing errors, and just generally maturing it.

It will let you know when it really is done.

"He speaks of Meow."

"Just feed the cat."

You know how to raspberry, don't you Steve? You just put your tongue out and blow.

I wanna read it! I mean all of it, cause I've only read bits and pieces. Wow Lilly...you've done sumthin I never could. I'm proud of you, I mean you put a lot of work into this and never gave up.

A pizza a day will give you a long hospital stay.

The floor beneath my feet pounds

The air around me fills with sound

I am one with the throbbing bass

and the lights that play on my face

Bah!

...and having to look at Orlando Bloom for two and a half three hour movies. =P

~Lilly

Nonsense! Just don't watch the movies at all! ;-)

*Is very very happy*

I know I'm not done yet, just done enough that I can actually let people at it. Theres a couple of bits i know aren't very good but I don't know how to fix them yet...

Way to go!!!

I'm very proud of you, Lilly. I can hardly wait to read your book. I'd like to read it to the kids for evening story, if you'd let me.

SangMing's picture

Um, sure

But, you know, it takes me days, weeks, sometimes months to read through a book with the family. I don't think you'd want to sleep over for that long.

Then I turned and walked down the long aisle between the pews and out the heavy wooden doors. And I thought, "Even if God has a lot to answer for, maybe he's not so bad once you get to know him."

The normal ones are boring. They all run-off screaming toward sanity. We just sit there at laugh at their sad attempts.

Maybe

You never saw Legolas for half of one of the movies.
