Completed My First Fiction Novel
Well... I did it! I am finally done with my first full-length fictional story. I have had the idea for quite some time. Recently, I finished the first rough draft and then sent it to my buddy, Eric (who double as my editor in another life). Eric had some very good advice and fixes.
Once I was done with Eric's input, I moved on to some technical details from my friend, Pete. Pete was a pilot in a previous life and he graciously helped me to polish some of my facts pertaining to aircraft, flight patterns and communications.
In addition to Pete and Eric, several other friends and member of my writing club gave me tons of advice and information. To top it off, pretty much everyone has been uber supportive!
My next move is to try and shoot for an agent and publisher. I'll keep you all posted!
FWIW - the book is an action/adventure with a heroine as my lead character. She is a saavy hacker and martial artist, who uses her skills and ingenuity to save the world from utter destruction!
