STICK A GODDAMN FORK IN IT
On November 1, 2006, I wrote the first chapter of Every Light Casts A Shadow.
Today, I wrote the last.
It has taken me six years, 174,000 words, and innumerable pleas for encouragement and petting and reassurance, but finally it is done.
Obviously, I still have to edit it (and I am very, very lucky that
celeloriel loves me!), but for now I'm just going to sort of sit here and bask in the fact that I have a draft. The thing is fucking done.
and now, I am going to go ice my wrists in preparation for the start of NaNoWriMo tomorrow. Who's a genius who decides to write the last 12.5K of a massive fucking six-year project in the two weeks before NaNo starts? Yeah, this chick.
But I like the symmetry of it.
(as usual, I am Lassarina at NaNoWriMo; come friend me! Join me in the rush to 50k!)
