FOR REAL THIS TIME!!

I have spent 12 hours on the computer today COMPLETING my book....Okay...haha...I can rest assure you that no, the record is not skipping, the CD is not broken, so I prematurly ejaculated many months back by saying that it was finished...because I was wrong!!!!

It has 33 chapters.....whew....I'm so glad that it ended on an odd number...It is now 300+ pages....I took away all the F bombs that really didn't need to be there (now my conscience is clear), I added stuff, took away stuff....but I'm so proud of myself that I didn't hack it to pieces like I did the last time I went through this process.

I found out some disturbing news as well...there is no such thing as a 'poor man's copyright'...what...when...yeah, I thought I could copyright it myself but apparently according to the copyright office...I was wrong...so I would like to kick the person's ass who told me such a lie.

But whatever....I'm not worried about that right now. The hard part is OVER!!! I know you guys are tired of me blabbing on and on about my book and I do apologize....Seriously!!!

I sent it to the Literary Agent...so I should hear something from them within 7-10 days. Lets all keep our fingers crossed that I answer yes to their following three questions:

1. Will the subject matter sell? Is it commercially viable?
2. Is the writing good enough, or would it be good enough with some degree
of assistance?
3. Did you as the evaluator like the work and would you believe in it if you
were selling it?

Well of course I say yes...haha...seriously guys...I need this...I want this so bad. Okay, so I'm done...for now...it's in God's hands. <3

So your happy with the final draft then? If so then do not worry its your work and if you are satisfied then just wait for the answer. 300+ pages, damn i dont think i have it in me to write a book that long that i feel would keep people interested!

it originally started out with 253 pages...the reason why it's as long as it is, is b/c the chapter break, and some of the paragraphs were way too long so I spaced them out...i'm not worried about anyone losing interest...I checked around here with all the books that I've read and they are round about the same amount of pages

Yes I'm happy with the final draft...I've already had one friend read it and she loved it...my father has it right now, as soon as UIL is over he will be able to read it...that's the person that I am waiting on feedback from b/c he will be brutally honest...and I sent it to Alexiss as well...so we will see
