Well, I did it. The 23rd and final chapter is complete, as of about 3 pm. I fell short of my 40K goal for a first draft. I'll probably fall short of my 80K goal for the final draft. But the story will be what it will be, regardless of how long it is.
I have copious notes on things I want to add, expand, revise. My goal is to have the second draft complete and beta-reader-worthy by Christmas.
Wish me luck.
I come back after months and read, "the end" and think, 'ah shit'. No, it's just the end of the first go around. Glad to hear it. I was very excited about this story when you outlined it during my visit. Glad to see its going so well!
