"I've written it!
"The last line.
"Let's ignore the fact that it's also the first line, and the fact that this line makes several other appearances in 'the book'.
"I didn't have the heart to murder my darlings; instead I thought I should just make (some of) them work a bit harder!
"Anyway, it feels good to have written it -- the last line -- or rather fitted it in. Now? Revise, revise, revise and hope that I can read my hand-writing."
(Note: the above has been voiced by an actor, currently practicing his lines for a new book all about the world of Boring John.)

Hi,
Good luck with your writing.
Write everyday even if it just a few words on the back of a postcard.
