Done.

Word Nerd accomplished her goal this weekend of finishing the rough draft of the novel.

The novel, though partly contained still in handwritten notebooks, now has a beginning, middle and end. The page count so far is over 200 with more than 66K words. Word Nerd's next task is to finish typing in everything so the whole novel is is one place. She's pretty sure she can accomplish that by the end of February.

Anyway, the story's done and Word Nerd's excited.

Congratulations!! How exciting. Are you treating yourself with anything special now that you've completed the rough draft?

Treating myself? Hmm... maybe I'll have to go get a really rich dessert. Death by Chocolate something-or-another...

Eeeep! That is terribly exciting. You are the second person in three days who's told me they finished their novel.

Makes me feel inferior! ;)

Congrats. I shall be purchasing a copy when it hits bookshelves, of course.

My congratulations. Completing the rough draft is a big accomplishment. Good luck on your revisions and transfer from handwritten ms.
