Stick A Fork In Me

‘Cause I am done.

Novel three, first draft, completed at 2:30 am.

420 pages, 111,200+ words.

I started writing around May 28th, so this is the single fastest period I’ve spent writing a book in my life to date. I don’t expect it to repeat it anytime soon. If ever.

Wow. The Pale Summer is finished.

Now all I have to do is edit and rewrite the damn thing and mail it off.

The day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I am playing video games until my fingers fall off.

I’ve earned it, dammit…

    Congrats Waybe. I know how good it feels to finish that first draft. But be careful with those fingers, as you’ll need them for the revisions.

    My having written Waybe above was just a typo and not an attempt to give you a new nickname, although I do think it suits you.
