I hit submit (six times, one for each part) on my first novel 😳

Not sure whether I’m more scared of it not getting published or getting published 🤪

UPDATE 1: It took me 11 months and 17 days to finish - with writing other stuff in between and some long lacunae. The six parts total 86,662 words.

UPDATE 2: I was remiss to not mention: @Djmac1031 who read every word as I wrote and contributed many ideas. @Mastered_again who read all of the Parts once each was done. And @onehitwanda and @PennyThompson both of whom read sections. A number of other people saw snippets, but this margin is too narrow to thank them all.

TBH I’m expecting low views and a middling rating. I didn’t write it to get major plaudits, I wrote it for me - goal accomplished!
Exactly what I'm doing with mine. For me, because I love the character and all the mythology I'm throwing into it. It may be the last thing I do, actually.

I'm betting the reviews for yours will be good tho🙂.

Peace

WOW!👏👏👏
Congratulations! 🥳 I'm happy for you. Finishing a novel is no small accomplishment, feel proud!❤️
 
Is it bad* that I’m already refreshing my Pending Stories only an hour after submission?

* Any question starting ‘Is it bad…’ means the person posing it knows full well it’s bad

Be careful - I heard that resets the clock every time. I possibly damns it straight into the evil vortex to hell. Especially this close to Halloween.

It’s worse than that! I was a bad girl and clicked on each pending entry - to get the ref numbers to bother Laurel with them. It could presage the end of the Universe.
