I finished the first draft of my novel today- ti's at roughly 51000 words. This is the first solo project on this scale I've beee able to complete, so here are some quotes: (final chapter and epilogue) "When I was a kid, I looked in the pond, I thought, as loud as I could, hoping it would be enough with everything I had. And I saw a reflection that wasn’t my own. Then everything closed up around me. And he was gone." "Craig didn’t use to trust maybes. Maybes had hurt him so many times, as they probably would again, but this maybe was too strong to let go. If this maybe was anything like Demi, he’d be able to reach it. Reach her."
Art and writing belong to me
