Well, I did it. Didn’t think I could do it, at the end, but I put my butt in high gear and pulled a lot of words out my ass and put them in my document. So I made it past the 50 thousand word goal.
And the damn thing isnt finished yet. Theres still a lot of writing I have yet to do if I want to make this half-complete rough draft into a workable first draft, and from there a real live manuscript.
I couldnt have done it without the advice and encouragement of my sister, Jen, and my two writerly friends, Ian and Allie. Thanks guys!
Now I am catching up on all my reading, and hope to be a more dedicated blogger forthwith.
