Fast Draft Day FINAL

You’ve accomplished something so many people try and fail, and you’ve succeeded. You’ve written a book!

228 / 280
(81.4%)

RHP IS DONE. 8 pages tonight to wrap up the last two sections.

Obviously, this book is far from “done.” The ending isn’t perfect at all. I made a note to come full circle, to have some pithy tie back to the opening line of the book. I also have a story element that only came to me a day or two ago that I want to highlight throughout the story, including the ending.

But the bones of story are there. I’ll do a formal write up tomorrow when I’m not so zonked, but the total counts are:

11 days

50,220 words

50 sections/scenes

And much work ahead! Still, I never ever dreamed I could do this. I wrote a book in less than 2 weeks. I did a NaNoWriMo in 11 days! And now I will go collapse into bed!

P.S. NO, I will NOT be getting up at 4:00 a.m. tomorrow!

Congratulations, Joely! You did it! I’m so proud of you, and you’ve been an inspiration to me to keep on keeping on with my current WIP — I might not be able to keep up with your pace, but I will definitely finish.

Congratulations! (What does RHP stand for, or is it a secret?)

Sis, I am yet again so damn impressed with you. You never fail to amaze and inspire. I bow to your will, to your dedication, and to your supreme uber-coolness.

Love you, and WOW!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I never would have made it without you guys, seriously. Just knowing you would check up on me gave me the encouragement to get up instead of sleeping in!!!
