Remember my NaNo from last year, Conflicting Realities/The Dream Deception/ whatever I'm going to call it? Well, guess what? It's DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

102,462 words!!!!!!!

I'm so psyched!!!!!

Hawkins · by **Hawkins** on Mon Sep 01, 2008 12:25 am

Awesome! So now you're going to let me read it?

DarkWaltz · by **DarkWaltz** on Mon Sep 01, 2008 1:46 am

Uh... I think a couple people might explode if I posted all 362 pages... I'll look through and find some good excerpts maybe...

OMG, DW! That is freaking awesome!!!

With my word processor pages at size 12 with Times New Roman I multiply 1 page by 2.5 and that's how many pages it would be in book form. I'm not sure how accurate it is but that's how I've been doing it and if your story is 362 pages that means you have a 900 page story on your hands! OO

-is jealous of the length of the your story-

I want to read it at some point but I can definitely settle for some excerpts if I must.

Congratulations! And I think I might be one of those people. I can't stand to read very much on a computer monitor.
How I learned it is one page of size 12 Courier New double font is equal to one paperback page.

Thanks guys! I'll try to get something together...

GD: 12 point courier new double spaced, you mean?

Carrots · by **Carrots** on Mon Sep 01, 2008 5:49 pm

Yeah. ><

Hawkins · by **Hawkins** on Tue Sep 02, 2008 2:51 am

D: I don't get to read it all? *sad* Could you e-mail it to me as an attachment? Rather...e-mail it to Chicago? I'm sure she won't mind if her inbox explodes. :twisted:

DarkWaltz · by **DarkWaltz** on Tue Sep 02, 2008 3:03 am

No, you will get to read at least some of it, Hawky. I should be able to get some excerpts up next week. Maybe I'll post the first four chapters and then some random bits... But you will get to read some, don't worry!

Hawkins · by **Hawkins** on Tue Sep 02, 2008 3:04 am

You should publish it.

Then I can read it. In book form. And so can everyone else in the world.

Woo for having finished a novel!

You finished the editing and the like too?
If so, what publisher are you hoping to send it to? I'm sure you are planning to send it somewhere!

Figment · by **Figment** on Thu Sep 04, 2008 10:53 am

Wooo DW!

Just enough time for you to relax for a bit, and then get ready for the next one!!!

You will be taking part... right...?

And I think she just means the writing of it, pom...

pommie · by **pommie** on Thu Sep 04, 2008 11:10 am

Ah, but you have to get it published!!!

Figment · by **Figment** on Thu Sep 04, 2008 11:14 am

Of COURSE she has to get it published!

Hey, the first draft is done, thats a lot closer to being published than 6 months ago!

DarkWaltz · by **DarkWaltz** on Thu Sep 04, 2008 11:52 pm

Hehe, yeah, unfortunately it's only the first draft. But hey, 102,507 frickin' words takes a long time... Anyway, yes, I want to edit it a lot, and I already have someone set to read it for grammar and another person interested in reading it for content and plot flow. But I definitely want to get it published eventually!

I'm not cool enough to be able to scrap it and rewrite it like someone suggested, I can't remember who, that would make me explode.
