Wrote a book

TL;DR: OP finished her first book, wants to show off and get some fake internet points for it

So... where to start?
I always liked writing. I always liked books. So naturally, I wanted to write my own one day. I didn't finish most stories I started, so I am at least proud of finishing it this time around. And now, over the past one and a half year, I accomplished this goal. First Drafts done, and I am probably going to start editing around Christmas.

I failed you

No banana for size. Instead, have a Dogmeat.

As for the details of how much I wrote: I wrote 103 275 words, which make up 399 pages and countless hours. Story is about an amnesiac mercenary witch trying to get rid of the demon that possesses her. Oh, and there are ritual murders, lost loves, magic, swords, guns and hopefully halfway decent plot twists. It takes place in a world similar to our Victorian Age. It's more Gaslamp Fantasy than Steampunk.

As for things I found out while writing and researching this book:
- Thank God (and everyone else involved) for the Internet
- Victorian photos of the Dead. Ew.
- There is a cult that venerates Prince Phillip as a God. No, seriously: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Philip_Movement (Don't ask how I found that out)
- When electric light was installed in the first houses (first developed in 1802, commercialised in the 1870s, first electric lights in the 1880s)
- Miracle of Sound. The singer, not the movie. Seriously, his music motivated me so much during the writing process. https://www.youtube.com/user/miracleofsound

Am I doing this right? Anyway, this little guy here is not so little anymore, but still likes snuggling up to my laptop if I'm watching films or writing. If he is not sleeping, he is stealing my hair ties.
