I got it done. Just.

 

At midnight I got my draft done. It’s a shame about all those places in the book where I’ve typed <INSERT EPIC BATTLE HERE> but it’s done. So now what? What do you do with a first draft once it’s finished?

 

I’m going to ignore it for a week.

 

My internal editor in snarling and snapping at its bindings, trying to get to the many mistakes I know for a fact are in there, but right now I’m far to close to what I’ve written to look at it objectively.

 

In the mean time I’m going to enter a short story contest, tap out a plan for a zombie story I had an idea for and generally laze about. There might be beer too.

 

I’m not going to slack off on the blogging though, I have two posts and a review ready to go as soon as I’ve done the necessary edits.

 

I might even do some actual work, you never know…

By the way, if you’d like to read the first two (edited!) chapters of my book, you can find them right here.

    Congratulations! I’m so jealous. I only have 16,000 words at present. Can’t wait to read the finished project.

    16,000 is still awesome, and I’m willing to bet it’s 16,000 words of well thought out work, instead of my half drunk, over caffienated rush…

    Keep going, I want to know what happens!
