A First for me

Less than fifteen minutes ago I finished writing my piece for the Summer Romance 2009 story contest.

Why do I feel this is something to brag about? Because it represents the first time I have completed a long story!

Okay, so it's not THAT long, only about 16000 words, but it is a complete stand alone story, with no other parts, AND, another first for me, it has been truly honestly EDITED by an outside editor! As soon as she takes a quick look at the 'final draft' version, it will be ready for publication.

Hopefully this represents a shift in my writing. I've been having trouble focusing on my writing for a while now, but with having churned this out, and I honestly do think it is a very fun little story, I'm hoping to be able to get the creative juices flowing for my other works again.

For a quick reference:

Echoes VII: 25% complete
Boys of Summer 35-40: 0% complete, waiting on editing of first 35 chapters to be returned
ED: Dressed to Kill: 15% complete
Untitled superhero story: 1% complete (still kicking around where it's gonna go)
Living the Life of a Heroine: 10-15% complete
Oh, Cheers rewrite for TGFiction.net: 2% complete
Snippets 3: 50% complete
Hollywood!: 1st episode/pilot 35-50 % complete
Magic Kingdoms (hopefully to be offered as BC Hatbox Premium: 5% complete
Teddy Bears: 15% complete
Kink: 15% complete
Everia: 3% complete, though doubting if I should bother to finish this one

Don't let anyone tell you any different. Finishing your first story of an intermediate length is a fantastic accomplishment! Congratulations. I look forward to seeing what you have done!

Write the story that you most desperately want to read.

Finish? We don't need no stinkn' finish ...

Treasure of the Serra Madre it may not be but follow your muse.

Mind you a finished story or finished segment of a story is nice.

If you have more of Echos send it my way and I'll see if i can help you get it moving again.
