I finished a book-length story!

It took me nearly 9 months, but I wrote a book (well over 100k words). I know there are many, many authors on here who have already accomplished this, and probably did so at higher quality, but I am pretty pleased with myself right now. I wasn’t sure I could do it when I started, but I’m happy to find that I was able to finish.

There were many people who reached out to me with encouragement or explained why my story might not be for everyone (X-Men fan fiction with lots of explicit sex, violence, and a rape scene - I can see where it's a niche market).

But it was a great learning experience - I've never written any other fiction. I do hope to write more and maybe my next effort will be for a wider audience. I do want to mostly finish whatever my next story is before I start posting, so I don’t leave everyone hanging when I have a lull.

I'm sure it's always bittersweet when you finish a story - I don’t know if I will revisit these characters, or if I’ll ever even do fan fiction again, so finishing is sort of a farewell.

Anyway, this was mostly for me to pat myself on the back (been working on my flexibility for weeks to be able to do it properly). Thanks for stopping by!
