Just a quick update to say look at the progress bars over there and reflect upon my writing goals. Realize something, people:
I did it! I finished my book!
NaNoFinMo2 the Quickening) was a success! Everlasting Tunes is done! I wrote 3,213 words tonight to put it to bed. I finished the first draft with a final word count of 94,530!
I did it! I finished my book!
Now don’t get all crazy and start asking me about revisions, ’cause I ain’t got nothing to say about none o’that right now. I’m just glad to have the first draft done! I’m going to let it marinate for a while and figure out what’s next.
My immediate plans are to get some rest, then write a First Line piece by 2/1 and my Chuck Wendig story for this week by next Friday. Beyond that I will see if I want to revise Everlasting Tunes or start some other long-form thing or what. I have no idea yet.
For now I’m just trying to wrap my head around the thought that I finished this one. I haven’t finished a piece even close to this length since 2010, when I produced a complete novel during NaNo that was just over 50,000 words. I’ve never come close to 94K before. I’m pretty proud of myself. I did good.
Keep an eye out here to see what happens next, and please remember to support your local blogger as he keeps working on his goals through 2017.
I DID IT! I FINISHED MY BOOK!
