I am just printing out the full first draft of my novel, I wrote the ending last night. I'm so excited! I'm going to do what Stephen King suggests in On Writing, and put the manuscript away in a drawer for a while, and do something else. I have the deep joy of a tax return to occupy me, and then I can get cracking with the research for my next novel. I never thought I would be able to write one novel, let alone finish one and be prepared to write the next almost immediately. I've spent all my life not finishing things, flitting from one thing to another, and now look at me! My therapist will be so proud.

Congratulations Clare, that's a huge achievment. Be sure to give yourself a well deserved 'pat on the back' You can be very proud of yourself.
What an incredible achievement! To have the patience and commitment and discipline to write a novel! Incredible.
What an amazing thing to have done. And I admire your determination to let it rest a while. I often find that things I have written can be polished once I have stood back from them a few days. I look forward to seeing the results in my local bookshop - txxx

I've only just discovered your blog and I'm so proud of you!
I haven't even found the courage to start my first book yet, never mind finish.
Congratulations!
