Did I mention I offically finished the first draft of my novel yesterday? It's true! I have written nearly 95,000 words (but I'll get you a more accurate count soon) between the last five days of April and December 1st. I did my best for an ending for the first draft and I have a feeling it may change in the second.

But that's okay. I have something to work with right now. Time to revise and cut away a lot of words. There is some excess and wrong turns here.

I'll gather up the data from my monthly charts and give a report to see how I can improve next time.

I'm itching to start and finish a short story, but yet I have that beginning-something-new-apprehension.

Wow, I have a draft of a novel.
