Finis!

The most amazing thing has happened :). The book that would never end ended today. And with a powerful scene as far as I could tell. It almost had me in tears as Wardah rediscovers Diggory only to have him reject her story as fantasy. But they manage to work it all out by the end. I promise little in the ways of comfort with my novels, but everything always ends on a positive note :D.

As far as the writing and the outline went, it turned out the last 3-6 scenes were actually parts of the same scene. Since this scene is right at the end and is longer than any of the previous chapters, I'm thinking I'll find a place to break it up during the edit, but we'll see.

The book that would never end? Is that like the song that has no end? You know the one--and if I'd thought to post this yesterday, it would probably be stuck in your head throughout your drive today. "This is the song that has no end; It just goes on and on my friend . . . "

Congratulations again!

Thanks :). I would have needed that, but there's a Sacramento station that goes from Walnut Creek all the way to Auburn!

And yeah, I'm home again. Hubby kicked me out just on the edge of the storm :p.

Yeah, mom told me she woke up to pouring rain this morning. I don't know what's it doing over Donner, but it's not a fun drive in the snow. (And really not a fun drive in white-out conditions, which I strongly urge everyone to avoid.)

Especially when all the stores have decided that chain season is over :p. Yeah, I should be happy to be home today :). And it's sunny here :D.
