I just finished writing a book.
For Want of a Physicist wound up being 88,587 words long, according to Word. It is thirty chapters and an epilogue and even though I started the pre-work about a year ago, only took me a little over eight months to actually write.
Of course, now I get to work on reformatting it to publish it as an actual book, because I will not be complete until I have a physical copy of it to carry around in my backpack and wave in people's faces when they ask me what I was doing last year or if I expect to be able to make a living as a writer.
In related news, I now regret the fact that there is no way my handle could ever look like a name. Because I totally don't know how I feel about having "Annie Cosper" on the front. That doesn't seem right to me, you know? But really, how silly does "Queen of Zan" look on a cover? PRETTY SILLY. My other option is Queenie Tzan, 'cause I'm that much of a loser, but they all sound terrible to me. Whatever. I still have a ton of stuff to do before I start worrying about that.
HAHAHAHA NOW I NEVER HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT INCEST AGAIN.
...er, knock on wood?
P.S. It's finished now, so you really have no excuse, now do you?
