Fiction Writing: This Is Not the End
Dec. 14th, 2011 09:00 pmI'm done! The final copy has been printed out and dropped off in my professor's mailbox, and now I can hide this story from myself, come back to it in a few months, and cringe, wondering how I ever let this thing see the light of day. Oh well. I'm sick of it, so it is time to let it fly free. Run away, little friend, and never come back!
And now I really don't have any reason to be in the library except to type up my novel. Damn.
EDIT: rereading this for the first time since handing it in. Oh boy does it ever need work. Not major work, but I still somehow ended up in the habit of overstating everything. And the end needs a lot more expansion and time devoted to the Problem of Will than it actually gets. I'll have to add that to my list of things to work on literarily once I get everything together.

This is the first story I've written to completion, had critiqued, and revised. I should probably feel accomplishment. I still don't feel like it's done. Oh well.
