Cool! How long did it take you? I always wanted to do that as well, but I could never get past the opening line of “It was the rain that woke him up” lol.

Congratulations!
My list is almost complete, this is all that is left: fish for Artic Grayling in Alaska, hunt elk and grizzly in Montana, write the book that my wife has been pestering me about for years :>).

LOL! You must be reading the book I’m working on! I keep getting this stupid image in my head of just that - dark and stormy night - and that first line: “It was the rain that woke him up”

Congratulations. Having written a few books, I think it compares to childbirth, or some other cruel torture.

I know what you mean. I started it about two years ago and then reached a point where I set it aside. I picked it back up a couple of months ago and it just seemed to finish itself.

Congratulations! My bucket list? Needs to be tuned up a bit. Looks like I won’t be retiring until 80 or 85 now, so it might push some things back a few years.

I agree. The night I uploaded the file to Kindle, I’m was sick to my stomach. Now, I’m just relieved and happy.

Have you, or do you intend to, give the ms to other writers or readers for comment and critique?
To: nolongerademocrat
Ooops, forgot to say that my link goes to the book at Amazon.

I finished one last week and am still decompressing. I have two books, sort of twenty year magnum opuses that I will finish in the next two months. Those caused me hernias.
