Well, the first draft of my first novel is done.
I finished it on New Year's Eve.
It's not very good, but it is done.
I have a lot to learn about writing and about English grammer - a point made painfully clear by the spell check and grammer check features on my computer.
I feel good, accomplished.
But mostly I feel introduced to the playing field.
I definitly would like to write about serious and Earth shaking things, but when I write, I tend to write about very common and predictable situations.
The gap between what I imagine and what I produce is still pretty wide, but I do now feel as if I can trace the outline of the struggle.
My goal would be to find a away to make the awkward sentence stuctures I can't seem to avoid work within the rules of grammer and to get deeper.
For now, I've got sex and robot dreams.
A start of somekind.
