Now that The Typist is finished, I’ve made a front and back cover for the book. You can also feel free to download the entire PDF – or give this poor college student some cash by buying a physical copy from LuLu. Click the thumbnails to see bigger versions (they’re pretty darn big).

It’s over. Holy crap. I don’t think I’ve ever been more satisfied with any novel I’ve ever written, or more frightened by the sheer size and scope of the universe I’ve created. I’m going to create a cover, back cover, and spine for this story and get myself a couple of LuLu copies, then call it a day. It’s been one hell of a NaNoWriMo 2008.

And tomorrow, the novel ends. It’s gonna be a big day! Most likely more than 5,000 words will be written ;)… and it’ll become very climaxy. Also, happy birthday to me! I’m a whole year older than I was yesterday – 19 years old! Soon I’ll need a cane.

Tomorrow will be the last day anyone spends in Talos – well, kind of. It’s time to wrap this baby up in a neat bow. The next three days will be crazy stuff! I paced the floor for hours and wrote in my journal for MORE hours trying to figure out how to properly transition into the War Arc and the ending, which are really one in the same thing. But I think I figured out a working solution. It’s not perfect, but it’ll tie everything up in the end. Just wait and see! (On a side note, sorry for posting this late – classes and choir have me tied up. I falsely put the date of yesterday on this. But yeah, I am posting it a day late. :P)

Due to the absolutely overwhelming amount of work I had yesterday, coupled with choir rehearsal, I was not able to write. Tomorrow and the day after that will both be 5,000-word days to catch up.

NaNoFiMo, or National Novel Finishing Month, takes place during December – it’s for all of the people like me who didn’t quite get it done, and isn’t really any sort of official anything. My NaNoFiMo finishes this Saturday. The war arc has officially begun! Oh, there are some exciting things about to happen.
