I AM DONE!

August 9, 2008

I have just wrapped up CAULDRON BORNE (or whatever it’s going to be called) at an unusually short 103,000 words. This is the first time I’ve ever had a book come in short (the Walker Papers are supposed to be 110K), but it’ll no doubt grow a bit in revisions, and perhaps it coming in a little short makes up for PRETENDER’S CROWN being 180K. :)

This means I am *officially* done with the last four years of Insane Writing Schedule. My next book is not due until JUNE 2009. I am DONE DONE DONE DONE *DONE*.

…and you should see my list of potential projects. o.o

No. *No*. I have a few revisions to do to CB before I turn it in. I need to write the proposal for THE IMPERATOR’S HEIR over the next couple of weeks. But before I do ANYTHING ELSE I am going to read all the books on my TBR shelf. And I am going to SWIM. I have been watching Olympic swimmers. I lust in my heart for their form. I shall swim and swim and look like them when I am in the water. It will be lovely. Did I mention that I will READ? And I will go to MeCon and to London and I will READ, and I will eventually write the sixth Chance script, but I am going to READ. And writhe around in NOT WRITING.

It will be *good*.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

ZOMG. Done. Can’t believe it! ZOMG!

SQUEEEEE!

  2. Happy Day!

    Nothing makes me feel more like a slacker like coming to check out your year-to-date word count.

  3. I second Kari. I feel like suck a slacker. Of course, I’m not published, so I guess I’m allowed to slack a bit.

    And did you say you where going to read ALL the books on your TBR shelf?! Girl, if you have that much time on your hands, I could use my house painted.

    Seriously, congrats. You’ve been keeping yourself incredibly busy and can use the brake. Enjoy it, revel, do what ever makes your heart sing!

    Hugs,
    Amber

  4. Thank you all!

    *laughs at Amber* Well, I read a bunch of them over the couple weeks when I went to San Diego and stuff, so I actually only have about…fifteen left. I can read those in three days if I really put my mind to it. :)

  5. 15 books in 3 days? Ok, that’s it. I quit. If I put my mind to it I’d be lucky to read one book in a day. *sigh* I need a mocha.

    Glad you got some reading done, though. Must have been one heck of a plain ride.
