Phew, I've finished my novel. Now I'm taking a break before I go back and rewrite it, again. That's not to say that it isn't finished. It's complete with plot, subplots, characters, arcs, beginning, middle and end. It's even written in proper sentences and has been spell checked.
I like it. I'm pleased with the story, theme and voice, but I don't love it, not yet. It's nice, but it's not special and I want it to be special. I've been up to my neck in it for months and now I think the best thing to do is forget about it for a couple of weeks, so that later I can see it with fresh eyes.
So here I am back on my blog, which has been kindly waiting here, not complaining at all.
First thing I'm going to do: change that profile picture.
