I feel like throwing a party tonight. I just finished the basic first draft of my book. I hit 52,948 words, which got me a bit farther than I expected to be. Now I have the rest of the week to take this at a slower pace and go back and add to the scenes I flew through in my rush to finish the draft.
There's still a long way to go before this will even be remotely readable, but mostly I'm just pleased I survived without having any complete breakdowns.
Thanks to those of you who have been offering me encouragement through this. Don't be offended if you try to get ahold of me and I don't get right back. I think I'm going to be catching up on my sleep in celebration! I'm hoping to have another draft of this story finished by the end of September so I can start passing it out and getting feedback from friends and family.
