If bad things come in three's, I think good things must come in two's.
Yesterday, February 25th, I finally finished my second book. As my 46th day of writing, I was three weeks behind schedule, taking almost twice as long to finish Book 2 as I had Book 1. But I've long forgiven myself--the plot is at least twice as complicated, the characters three times more determined to drive me crazy, and I've been about ten times as busy writing during my final semester in school versus during the summer. However, it is completed, and it came together better than I could have ever hoped.
Although I thought that would be the highlight of my day, the even better news came at 8 o'clock last night, when I checked the results of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest for the upteenth time and found out that, yes, my book has made it to the second round!!! Now if it makes it all the way, I can tell Penguin Press that I already have a sequel ready for them!
So in celebration, today I'll be doing some more writing for my blog as well as work on an academic piece I'm co-authoring...running a victory lap.
