My First Novel

It's official! After five months of writing 1,000 words (nearly) every day, I am finally done with the first draft of my novel, tentatively titled Death by Degrees. It's a mystery, written to be both campy, entertaining, fun, romantic, and a little scary. Most of all, it's meant to be a good story.

I'll be sending copies off to my brave first readers in a couple of days. Hopefully, with the help of some encouraging words and promises to mention them on Oprah when I'm famous, they'll have some great suggestions for me.

I would love for this novel to be my introduction to the world of writing full-time, but even if nothing amazing comes of it, at least I had a good time writing it. And I've already started novel number two.
