Do you plan to read Order of the Phoenix, or is fanfic the cheap and dirty subsitute for the real thing, and you don't care if I wrote it or JKR did? (Personally, I can't believe anyone needs to ask this question, but...)

My original novel is almost finished. I can't believe it. I am in shock. Look at me shivering. I've got about 3k words to go on the last chapter, and then. EEEEK! DONE DONE DONE!

Well, not really. Then I have to, you know, like, edit it. And stuff. But still. Draft one will be COMPLETE! Possibly as of TONIGHT!

*dies a million deaths* I never thought this day would come. *plays triumphant music* All that and I managed to keep it under 100K. ph34r me.

While everyone is all pumped up about being able to write long long long long novels, honestly, anything over 100K is like, totally impossible to publish if you're not Marion Zimmer Bradley or Anne Rice or Stephen King, so that's why I was keen to keep it well under. They suggest that your first novel not go over 60K, my god, like that's possible. *snorts* I'm at about 74K at the moment, and with the edit that will probably rise to 80K. 80k is the boundary I don't want to breach.

*eyes editors* We can do this. Yes, yes we can.

*weeps for joy*
