So proud of myself

I finished my first novel!!!

I texted my sister

It took me 48 hours to write a 42000 word semi autobiographical novel. It starts off when I’m 17 and the whole book is dark and depressing til the end when I start to recover. Then the last sentence is “and ________ wins the presidency and turns the world on the other side of its axis” and ends just like that. So it’s dark satire. But I called it Flunky based on junky. It’s Kerouac !!!, Burroughs!!!, Vonnegut!!! In one!!!

I want it to be RAW, hardly edited beyond grammar and spelling… And even grammar not edited 100%.

Well I’m proud of myself. Here’s to me writing more books in da future!!! My first book was a novella at 33k words. So maybe it wasn’t a fluke after all. And I’m actually fit for writing.

Good for you chew. Maybe next you can write a fiction novel and get money for it like J.K.Rowling .

I think if I work hard I can get cash for this. Most people wouldn’t believe my life is anything but fiction. And hey William s Burroughs did it. It’s very similar to his :wink:

I think you’ve found your calling chew!

I hope that’s not the only place I publish it! All these companies will publish your book on kindle but I hope there’s a hard copy too! My last novella I published strictly on Amazon kindle. I sold like 15 copies. I actually wrote in my new book “In May of 2015 i wrote a book called the Raven who killed, and it sold a whopping fifteen copies on Amazon kindle!” Meant to be funny :slight_smile:

dude, I would do anything for a copy of your book. Anything.

by the way, do you re-read your books from time to time? I re-read my poetry everyday, and it makes me feel less ill sometimes.

42000 words in 48 hours? Are you superman?

No but seriously congratulations! That’s awesome :slight_smile:
