Finished

Again I find that the weeks have passed and I haven’t posted here. I have been very busy. Firstly, I submitted my draft critical essay to my tutor and then had a nervous wait. The response was wonderful and all I was required to do was make some amendments relating to the style. Secondly, I submitted the final version of the first chapter of the novel to my tutor. The comments were great and gave me a great deal of confidence; particularly as this is the chapter that an agent will read. Thirdly, I have spent a few weeks proofreading and formatting the entire thesis. I always forget how long it takes and when it’s 120,000 words it takes significantly longer. The document is now ready to be sent to the printers; all I’m waiting for is the ok from my tutor. It is a strange feeling to think that it’s over but of course it’s the start; I have my viva to prepare for and a synopsis and covering letter to write before sending it out to an agent.
