Well last night it finally happened. I hit the 100 page mark!
Wait, maybe I should give a little more background before I continue. I am writing my first fantasy book. I have written lots of children's stories for various course work and for my daughter and nieces. This is different, now that I am finally done with school, I have the time to put in some real effort into my writing. I started this book late last year after being inspired by a multide of things including a dream and the fact that I had time to read for enjoyment again. I read a really great book followed by a really awful book. That was when I decided it was time to put some of my ideas together and start writing a book I could call my own.
Now back to the present...
Last night I finally hit the 100 page mark, a personal goal I set for myself. While working this weekend, I have mapped out another minor plot twist, how to work up to the major crescendo, as well as the ending. I am very pleased with my book so far.=) I hope others can enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. The characters have grown and adapted well to the minor trials and tribulations. I have tried to pour in the sensory details so that the reader can experience the story as it unfolds. Now that I am working towards an end, I guess I need to decide what to do with it when I am done.
I know this post is mostly rambling but I just needed to share. Thanks for listening.

Re: 100 pages (X-post)
Mon, June 11, 2007 - 10:05 AMI know what a wonderful feeling it is to hit a milestone like this. Fully enjoy this feeling as you learn to enjoy the process of going even deeper into the story. One day not too far from now you'll be telling us about getting to "The End."
Congratulations! -
