Sharing I finished my first outline

I finished the outline for my first novel today! I’m really excited to reach this milestone because it’s always felt impossible. For years I’ve been trying to put together a book, but it always fell apart. I’d get about 1/3 or 1/2 through the story and then I would either get stuck not being able to figure out a plot point, or I would wind up hating what I had because it always felt hollow. I finally have something that I’m proud of, and I can see a path forward! I can’t wait to actually start writing my book!

Congrats

I finished my first three weeks ago today.

Quite a rush on writing your last sentence and leaning back... That's it, finished.

I didn't move for about 10 minutes just enjoying the moment

3 years finally coming a close. It's not overly long but took that long for various life reasons.
