I'M DONE!!!!!!!!!!
Keeper of the Emerald is FINISHED!!!!!! I have written the final words! The first book in the whole damn quartet is, after two years, DONE!!!!!
It was kind of incredible. Obviously it didn't work, NaNoing it. In fact, I barely got anything written on it during November (I blame my total exhaustion from the wonderful "Measure for Measure"), and I dropped it come December feeling like the ending I'd set up was horrifically contrived, my own rules of magic had trapped me, and I simply didn't have the energy to go back and redo it.
Yesterday (I kid you not - YESTERDAY) I reopened the document, scrolled down to the end -
And I knew what would happen. I saw the entire climax spread out in front of me, complete with every necessary plot element I'd set up, but uncontrived, magically feasible, somewhat horrifying (as regards the outcome), and - well - as perfect as I could have wanted it. I wrote until 4 in the morning to finish the climax. I couldn't STOP writing. And I wrote the last chapter today. Just now.
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And now...on to Book Two... 
Oh, by the way...it's 217 pages long...  |
