I FINISHED MY BOOK this morning! Woo-hoo!

[Missy Vixen]

I have been writing a long-form, (100,000 words,) contemporary romance single title novel since November 24, 2005.

I finished at 9:00 this morning. I'll be attending a writer's conference in Chicago next week and showing my synopsis to (hopefully,) an editor and an agent there. The best thing that could happen there is that they ask to see the entire book.

To say that I am excited is an understatement!

3. Let's have a first chapter runoff!!!!!

Right here in the lounge.

I'll post the first of mine, you post the first of yours.

Any interested agents who may lurk here can have a look. What do you say?

5. BigMcLargehuge, I am sure you are a much better

writer than I. :blush:

Did I mention that one of the little chores befalling romance writers is the dreaded sex scene? :woohoo: Yes, it's true.

6. no no no... NEVER EVER say that!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!

I have a sex scene (a couple actually) in my book too. But they aren't nice.

Anyway, a runoff will let us both showcase our talents, AND give any agents who happen by a look at our stuff.

Plus we can draw early comments from the loungers.

Cmon, you know you want to!!!

I have a sex scene (a couple actually) in my book too. But they aren't nice.

I have written some not-so-nice sex scenes also. Meaning that they end in murder.

12. Well, they may be hard to write...

but they sure are fun to read!

Congrats on your book! I admire your courage. It's something I've always dreamt of doing.

13. Ohhh! Champagna!

Would you care for a glass of champagna? I knew you would. I knew you enjoy champagna. How do I know this? Because I love writers. I can read their books. May I read yours? I venture to say, please, you are the kind of woman who has a future as a published writer. Yes? Am I right? ;)
