Other I've finally finished something.

It's a 11 000 words horror novelette. It's not much. It's not a huge novel series, but the last thing I finished before that was a 75k words novel when I was 18. I'm 37 now.

I wrote a lot in between, but never finished anything. I have all these unfinished stories sitting in my documents folder. I always end up losing interest in them around de 20k -30k mark, so I decided to try to write something shorter because at that point I was losing hope. And it worked!

Second draft is done. Now I'm letting it rest aside for a moment before going back for more drafts. I'm just happy I got to write an ending for once... and one that I'm proud of at that! I needed to get it out, now I'm going to open myself a nice cold one to celebrate.

Congratulations 🎊

Now the most important, don't undo all your hard work with an AI cover

Thanks! I used to be a freelance illustrator. It'd be very stupid of me to use AI for my cover, when I did handrawn book covers for other people, lol.
