I finished a story of about sixty thousand words/characters. I gave it a warm, happy "ending." And today, I put all the chapters together and shared the complete story on two places.
I would like to join CoreEssence in the Congratulations! It's so wonderful to hear you completed your story! It must feel satisfying to know you have seen a project through from beginning to end, having enjoyed the process all the way through! 60,000 words - wow! The internet tells me that's like a 240 page book! That's incredible! I'm so impressed by your steady and powerful focus, your creativity and all the inspiration you allowed to flow through you to make this happen!

My goodness!!!! Congratulations Jenny!!!!! What an achievement! I am so glad for you! And so proud of you! I wish I could read your story too (I know that it’s in Chinese though!). You inspire me!!! thank you!!
THANK YOU!
I am so glad that from now on, I can write stories in my own unique happy ways, whether it's fanfiction or an original novel. I rarely struggled, so the whole writing which lasted about 6 months--I write when I feel like writing and during the 6 months, I wrote two stories--the other one was close to the ending too and it contains about 65,000 characters. Now that I get the essense of what writing stories means to me, I pick up it at any time even after a long time of not writing--which I think is impossible.

YES! Your words are exactly what I have been experiencing. When some authors were talking about the struggles they experienced and how many times they edited their stories, I know clearly that this is not my story and reality. I just write, re-read and correct some grammatical errors and then share. So the whole process and results are satisfying to me.
So appreciate Abe's conversations about writing, acting, and others' opinions which really help me greatly.
