    It is done. Well, my mother will find about 10,000 edits because that used to be her job, but I'm done.

    Took longer than I want to talk about, but 91,000 words are a mouthful. I'm going to take a deep breath then go look for an agent. For those of you who don't know, its based very loosely on my years as a dub.

    It feels good doesn't it I trashed my novel in a fit of writers rage (that is what I like to call it so I don't start crying). Soon I'll be writing again but life has a way of getting in the way.

    by the way grats.

    Good luck JeffT! Now the uncreative bang your head against a wall phase will begin. Here is a really good resource for finding an agent that deals with your subject.

    congratulations. that is a serious accomplishment. I've been writing in my free time for years, but haven't got anything decent enough to send out for "real" publication. I've had a few things published in student journals and college magazines, but nothing big. I would be interested to know how you fare shopping the novel around and finding a publisher and all that other "practical" writing business. again, congratulations.

    will
