I just finished writing chapter 35 of the last book in the Stupid boy saga. As I sat back after hitting the send button to my editor I got a little emotional as anxiety clawed at my guts like a cat in a wet bag.
It's been quite the ride. To see the light at the end of the tunnel is daunting. At times I wasn't sure I could keep writing about the same thing and keep it interesting. I'm sure some of you gave up. I want to thank the ones that stayed with me.
This all began as a writing exercise that soon got out of hand. I've learned so much about writing over the last few years. I still have a long way to go, but I can now at least put together a coherent sentence. I read some of my first stuff and squirm, like spider-webs catching on your face, to see what you all suffered through.
I see only two or three more chapters and I will be done with Senior Year Part III.
I plan to tip one back as a nod to the end. Almost Done.
Happy New Year!
