Have you? If so, how many? Which one is your favorite? Do you have any plans to get it published anytime soon?

If not, are you in the midst of one? How's it coming along? What's it about?

I've finished a novella-length thing, which I'm planning on expanding into something more novellish in size. Even though it's not all that long, finishing it was a massive deal, since I often struggle to finish a first chapter. Twas a very good feeling.

I wrote a novel, and it's very very terrible and all handwritten so some of it is illegible. I never got it published per say, but I finished it. It was... 250? 251! Pages long with like... 90 chapters? The last word was the.

Currently also trying to write a novel... I need to divide it up into chapters. Workin on the plot and stuff >>.

I've finished one 100k Novel that's written in the worst quality you can imagine and becoming motivated to write second draft is even harder than becoming motivated to finish the first one.

I have another one that's about 2/3 or more of the way through, and I really should go um write that um right now and er stop procrastinating.
Hahah....haha.....ahahaha.

I have technically finished three novels, one of which absolutely required a sequel (that never got finished), and four or five novellas. They're all in Croatian, though, and I'm not really planning on ever publishing them.

One of the novels was my first novel ever, which I wrote when I was like 12, and which is adorable but terrible xD Another is my first "big novel" which has a premise and characters that I love, but requires TONS of editing (as in it's nearly 300k words long right now). The third one, as I said, is the first in a planned series, and actually with some tweaking might see the light of day eventually.
The novellas might at some point get translated and/or published, if I ever decided to have something less serious and adult-y to my name, but I want my current novel to be published first.

So, I voted yes, because I did finish some novels, but it's also a work in progress for me, 'cause I'm working on SiG and on Here with a plan to get them both published in the relatively near future.

I finished writing a novel. Singular. And unedited. And it will rot in the depths of my computer files for ever and ever. Or at least until I feel like doing the characters more justice.

I just finished my Last Man Standing Novel a couple weeks ago, and that was my first finished novel. :)
Now I need to edit the heck out of it >.>
And I think if editing goes well, I might try to get it published!

I have finished one novel so far and that's it, currently. Even then, it's only the first draft. I'm currently working on the second draft, however! The fourth chapter is almost over and done with.

I may publish it after I turn thirteen -- then again, I may not. I will probably hate it and wish for it to stay buried. Though, I do hope that will not happen. Publishing it is my dream.

I'm in the midst of a few. Uh, some half forgotten Camp NaNo ones and one for LMS. I may pick them back up, after a bit of research.

I should really finish some more.

It was called "What happened in the Dark." I wrote it about five years ago. PARTIALLY where I got my name from.
