Wow. I finished this morning around 11. I’ve been alternating between dancing with the dog and sitting down in a state of mental exhaustion. I wasn’t actually sure I’d get it done, but it is done and I’m not completely mad at it either.
It feels a little bit like the ending of Ann Petry’s The Street. If you haven’t read it, it’s wonderful and I highly suggest anyone check it out.
Omg, I’m done with it. I simultaneously am sad that the draft is done….No, that’s a lie. I hate the first draft. I am SO happy it’s done.
I’m not planning on touching it for at least a month before I start editing it. I need to forget what happens. I need to be able to come at it with fresh eyes when I do start editing it.
Ugh. So happy the first draft is done. I’m typing this and making tons of errors because I’m so jittery!
I wish this post was longer, but I’m done with sitting in front of the computer for the day! It’s so nice outside, so I’m off the take the pup for a walk.
Happy Wednesday!!!
what a great step to achieve, I will be ready and anxious to read when you are ready. We will be there in another day to see where the magic happens
Well done, enjoy the feeling, you’ve earned it. Getting to the end of the first draft is simply the most important stage of all!
