Finally...

[przed]

I've done it. I've got a complete, beta'd, Brit checked, copy edited and formatted version of the Pros novel I've been working on for ::mumble::mumble:: years.

Call me gobsmacked.

Looks like it will actually be printed and ready for Close Quarters.

And it should be stunning to look at, too, since the generous and talented artconserv has agreed to do the cover and interior art. (Let's just say that the pieces I've seen so far make me very, very happy.)

Stay tuned for more information...

This is awesome news! Are you coming this year?

Congratulations!

I'm guessing from "gobsmacked" that the shock hasn't worn off enough yet to just be basking in the glow of being finished. *g*

I'm extremely chuffed. And yes, I am coming! Hooray for an indulgent Sweetie who's willing to hold down the fort whilst I swan off to cons.

Thanks!

There's not much basking yet. Just a lot of talking myself out of doing yet another read through, in case there's another typo no one's yet found. I'm hoping basking will kick in soon. *g*

Bodie and Doyle are very, very proud of you.

[gblvr.livejournal.com]

OMG YAY!!! I feel like I haven't seen you in FOREVER!

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Looking forward to ordering details :)

[matociquala.livejournal.com]

Congrats! A novel is a big deal.

[graculus.livejournal.com]

*applauds* Brava! :)

[siskiou.livejournal.com]

Ooohh! Details please! :)
If only the con were a little closer!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh well done, that's brilliant! Wheee! *g* I hope it'll be available to those of us over the other side of the pond as well..?

[msmoat.livejournal.com]

Yay! Yet another reason to look forward to CQ! And, boy, isn't it a relief as well as a great feeling of accomplishment? Well done!

[przed.livejournal.com]

Awwww.

[przed.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm hoping I'll have the details by the end of the month.

[przed.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

And now that I know I can put that many words together, I can get to work on those two fantasy novels I've got outlined.

All I'll say for now is that the primary action takes place in Ireland.

Details on price and ordering to follow once I talk to the print shop, which will be in 2 to 4 weeks.

And the con will be coming soon enough, I'm sure.

Thanks! It's a relief to have it done. And of course it will be available to those of you on the other side of the pond. *g*

I'm just sort of astounded I managed to put that many words down, and then to whip them into shape. (With a lot of help from my friends, I might add.)

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Excellent news! It's great to know that you've got everything done and dusted in time for Close Quarters!

I'm really looking forward to seeing the zine, especially when the story's accompanied by Lorraine's always brilliant artwork.

Well done!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! How wonderful. I have money... *g*

[matociquala.livejournal.com]

Yay! Yes, yes you can.

[gilda-elise.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to read it! Unfortunately, I have to, since I'm not going to the con this year. :-( But I do have someone who's going to pick me up a copy!

[beledibabe.livejournal.com]

Yay!!!

::pulls out wallet::

[przed.livejournal.com]

It has been FOREVER! (Last ZCon, yeah?) And it's going to be fab!
