Prompt: Write a story about someone who has just completed writing his first book.
It is finished. I can’t believe it is finished. The book I have been writing for the past three years is finished. I feel elated. I never thought this day would come. Writing. Proofreading. Editing. Rewriting. Editing some more. I have spent so much time on this book, pouring my heart and soul into it. I’ve never been more proud.
I need to call Ed. What time is it? 3:32 AM. Shoot. He’ll be sleeping.
I call him anyway.
“Hello?” I hear Ed’s groggy voice say in my ear.
“Ed, it’s Harold. I have big news!”
“What is it, Harold?”
“I’ve finished it! I’ve finished writing my book!”
“Hey that’s great, Harold. I knew you could do it. Call me in the morning and tell me more, ok? It’s 3:30 in the morning.”
“Ok Ed. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
There is a click as Ed hangs up the phone. I am disappointed. This is my greatest achievement, and I thought my best friend would be thrilled. I am still really proud of what I have accomplished.
