Finished ... well, the first draft

So I finished the first draft today. I hadn't allowed myself to blog until I was finished. WhooHoo!

Hmmm... now, how long has it taken me? I don't even want to think about it. No looking back. Though technically, I will be looking back because now it is time for

REVISIONS
(said in a deep, booming voice with lots of re-verb)

I have a lot of holes to fill in, namely historical facts and names and the details. But it felt so good to finally write "The End" and actually know how it ends. I love being a pantser because every time I sit down to write, I have no idea where the story will end up. And most of time, it works out. Yay!

Thanks to everyone who pushed me and prodded me to get this through. I definitely get by with a little help from my friends.

Way to go!
I knew you could do it!

So, when do I get to see it?
Just one peek? Pretty please.

Karen,

As soon as I go through it once more, I'll send it over. Just be gentle ... :P
