There.

*dusts off hands*

I have finished my new book. It is done. For at least the next three days, because as you know, a book isn't "done" until someone pries it out of your hands and publishes it.

I am not feeling up to conveying the wonder of finishing a book. Tired. Happy. Tired. Happy. Going to bed.

Mwah. Goodnight.

Megsie said...: So impressed that you cranked out a book while living with an INFANT! I could barely shower.

Now, give it to that publisher so I can READ IT!

Congratulations, and sleep well...you certainly deserve it!; 6:06 AM

KT said...: Congratulations!!! I guess now is the time to take a long sleep, wake up when you want to, and stretch those muscles as if squeezing out the last bits of stress and anxiety. That sounds like a great start to a good morning to me. I can't wait to read it!; 2:00 PM
Suzanne said...: Yay and congrats! You inspire me... managing to write with a little one at home. If you can do it, then I should be able to as well. You're awesome. Enjoy your well deserved sleep.; 11:00 PM

Mae said...: Oh, we know how it feels to finish a book! My biggest accomplishment so far- a professional length chapter in five days. Eh, pretty good when I've only been writing for a year!; 10:36 AM
Mae said...: By the way, that IS just the exploratory draft chapter. I've got some good stuff- just a little too Percy Jackson.; 10:37 AM
