It's done. The first complete rough draft that I've managed. I wrote 'The End' with great satisfaction. The final word count: 57042.
My first thought upon finishing: "Which of my other book ideas am I going to attack next?"
If you've ever thought about writing a book, I recommend this experience highly. I'm sreiously considering doing it again in May. No, really, I'm not kidding. I feel that good about myself and it's that much fun. And this time I'm going to start from scratch. And then I'm going to do it in November, too, during the actual NaNoWriMo.
I want to thank everybody who cheered me on. I'm telling it true when I say that I couldn't have done it without you. I need to specifically thank (or curse) my brother Dave for inspiring this crazy book idea.
I'd like to thank the Blue Line for being a proper pain in the ass. It's harder to get overwrought about writing a 50,000 word novel draft when your environs are smelly and noisy. Thanks Metro Blue Line! Thanks a lot!
I especially want to thank The Amazing Addie for showing unwavering confidence in me despite me telling her to stop it. She also put up with my weird schedule and the resulting pile of dishes in the sink (Don't worry, sweetie. They're going away soon). If you didn't already realize it, Addie's an amazing person.
All right. That is all.
Can we party now?
