Today I wrote the end of my novel. Again. So anyone who knows me well knows this is not the hardest part. The real celebration can begin once I send it out, which is not until after editing. The job of editing looms before me, a task I've yet to complete without breaking down and rewriting. But since I started this draft when I was 21 and not 10, 12, or 14 my hopes of having produced a viable work of fiction that should only need a few tweaks are far higher. So while I'm not out of the woods yet, this is definitely an important day. A heartfelt thanks to all who have stood beside me and this novel and borne with my obsession all these years.
Also, if you're interested in reading it to help me edit, let me know....

Congratulations Cherie!
Congrats. Good luck with the editing. Hope it won't be too painful
You can't hear it but I am blowing a party whistle. And I am so happy for you Cherie. Now go forth and edit that puppy. :)
Love You

Best of luck, my friend.
I'd be willing to read it if you have an open deadline for comments. (And print me a hard copy for my blind eyes, lol.) Good job!!
Hooray!
Cherie, your dedication is amazing. I've enjoyed watching you develop as a writer, and I'm excited.
Send me a copy and I can print and edit it.

Cherie! This is a little late but I would be up for reading it -- like your other friend said, if you have a very open time frame on when to get my comments by. I would definitely be interested to read what you have been writing though.

For any wondering I have sent personal responses to anyone who replied offering to be a beta-reader and the opportunity is still open because I have to finish my own personal editing first (i.e. grammar, plot consistency) so my beta-readers don't waste time on things I can fix myself.
Thanks to all and a special thanks to the few, the proud, the beta-readers! :)
