Color Me Amazed

Today marks a monumental occassion.  I finished the last chapter of my first multi-chapter fan fic.  Yup, that is right I sent it off to my first beta just a few minutes ago, but with the warning that I had better not see it back before I see a new chapter of Second Life post!  I have my priorities after all.

It has been an amazing journey.  Until RYA or I guess I could say Contemplations I had never written prose.  Poetry has always been my venue of expression, but I am pleased to discover I actually enjoying writing when I do not need to pick every single word to have three definitions.  It has been a learning experience as well, I have never had to paint the scene.  I hope I have grown as a writer over the last 10 months.  Yes, it was 10 months ago that [personal profile] lady_karelia (aka ladyinthecloak) challenged me to write a fan fic though it first posted in March.  I had originally planned to have it complete before posting and then thought I had it far enough along to finish before posting caught up with me.  Well, what do they say about the best laid plans of mice and men?

Thank you! I am so excited to have it finished, but at the same time I am a little sad it has been such a fun ride.
