The End

Hello all!

Just a quick one to say I hope you all had a jolly Christmas and champagne-filled new year. As 2007 comes to a close, I'm celebrating not just the end of a wonderful year for me - 'I do', a step on the property ladder and a new dog! - but also the end of my first novel. I finally wrote the last full stop at four o' clock on New Years Eve! Hurray!

January will see me frantically tweaking, polishing and honing all 70 chapters in time to hand it in to my agent ASAP. Where to start? Its a daunting prospect but I'm starting with a chapter-by-chapter review of the plot and an emotional life line of my characters, just to make sure it all hangs together. Err... right. Only then will I start obsessing over adjectives and tackling the nitty gritty.

2007 has been a great writing year for me. Here's hope 2008 is a great one for all!

PS the new dog is a Collie-Corgi cross from a nearby rescue home, who arrived with us on Christmas Eve. His name is Lucky and HIS end wags like a charm.
