Celebrate Good Times!

I happened to reach a milestone over the past weekend and I believe it is a time for celebration!

I have written the first 50,000 words in my first novel!

That's right! I hear your applause and I thank you so much! I really am thrilled and tickled by this accomplishment! I can not even begin to tell you how good a feeling it is...how it is one of the best feelings in the world!

It is by no means a cocky exclamation but I am very proud and I would have to say this is the proudest I've been of anything I have ever done in my life. My novel is, in my opinion, my greatest accomplishment to date.

For me, nothing gives me more satisfaction and joy then when I am writing. I hope one day I can be called a published author, but for now, I'm perfectly happy falling in love with words and helping my characters tell their story. A day filled with writing is a day filled with the greatest love.

And for the first time I actually can see the end...Oh, it's still miles away, trust me, but I can sort of see the path it's heading and it honestly gives me the 'butterflies in stomach' feeling and 'roller coaster drop' feeling. I just feel plain AWESOME!

Well, I wanted to update everyone on my story status and for the few people who are kind enough to be my 'readers' and to give me their thoughts and ideas, I truly, with all my heart appreciate you so very much! I hope you know how much it means to me and keeps me inspired and assured I'm not a complete bonehead. I hope you would tell me if you think I suck, and you have yet to do that, so maybe this means I'm on the right track. I value your opinions so by all means, keep them coming!

Love you ALL. As always, thanks for reading!

P.S. If truth be known, I am now over 60,000 words...I know, I know, I ROCK!
