So I haven't updated here in forever. Those of you who've known me for even a little while know that I'm an incredibly sporadic blogger at best, and a person who tends to vanish off the face of the internet for months at a time at worst. But today I have returned with exciting news. Seriously. It's very exciting. Wanna know what it is?
I've finished a novel.
Granted it's just a first draft, but it's a completed first draft with a beginning, a middle, and end, a conflict, and everything you could hope for. It's one of four decently long projects I've ever finished and definitely the one I feel the strongest about. At just over 67k it's a little short, but I feel confident that I can get the words when I revise the thing, which will happen probably in March when I've had a little time away from it. (Plus I swore I'd finish the other so-close-to-being-done-it's-disgusting project this month as well, so I'm off to do that one.)
I'm one of those people who starts a heck of a lot more than she finishes, so being able to say that I finished even a draft is super exciting (or will be once it sinks in properly; this kind of thing takes time for me). Next step editing. Oh boy...
