Its finished! an overview of writing my 1st novel

It's finished, from the opening word to the last. In all it took me from around June in 2005 when I first started writing the opening to a funeral as a writing exercise to July 2008 so we can say three years. I didn't complete the first draft until September 2007 and since then I ended up with 13 drafts.

A huge list of thanks and acknowledgements should go out to everyone who helped me but I'll list them as they come Andrew Biswell and Paul Mags and all the group from MMU, everyone who read extracts and gave criticism notably Nick Jobling and especially my amazing fiance Ray.

The novel is currently at the printers and then going straight to the Mr Biswell for my hand in. In the meantime I am going to hunt around all your blog sites and steal as much as possible and make as many links.

Keep logging in, I'll fill you up with everything that's gone on in my life.
