Current music:Placebo - Protect Me From What I Want

It clocks in at a little under 72,000 words, which is too large.

It no doubt has a bunch of scene disjoints from how it was put together.

There are parts that are clunky and should be replaced with something better.

I have underused some good characters and overused some bad ones.

But fuck it all.

I finished writing a goddamn book.

I will speak in a normal tone of voice and be the loudest person on NPR in a decade.

Congratulations!

It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it?

... now if I could just finish another one, or the second draft of the first one...

I am giving myself no downtime. While people are combing over my draft and looking at it and evaluating it, I am starting the next one.

I hope this will help avoid my occasionally lazy tendencies.

Oddly, I probably wouldn't have written it if I hadn't blogged about a couple things, which wouldn't have happened if you hadn't pinged me to go back here.

So it's sort of all your fault.
