The Boat of Small Mysteries is officially finished

[galadhir]

Hurray! I've finished the first (content) edit on my narrowboat novel, The Boat of Small Mysteries, which means that it's definitely been moved into the category of 'book that will get published this year. Probably this month, tbh.'

Just got to go through it a couple times more to pick up anything I missed this time, make it some cover-art and remember how to compile it into a proper novel. (This may take me some time as I've had seven years to forget how it's done.)

It's a short novel at 53K, but that's not bad going from something I planned out as a 30K novella. I always write long, but at least I now am never surprised by it.

That is a very interesting idea! My daughter has just had her play published too, so a celebratory dinner might be a thing. On the other hand it's really not going to take me long before the book is actually published, so I might hold off and celebrate then.

I feel you should embrace both rather than either. Double celebration of your achievements is definitely warranted.

I wanted to wait until it was actually out, but it's actually out as of today, so I'll see what the family is doing over the weekend :) Thank you!
