lydamorehouse | My Favorite Words: THE END

I finished my novel Tuesday -- or, at least a first draft of it.

Hooray!

naomikritzer read it super fast and sent her comments already, but I accidentally sent an earlier (incomplete) version to my other beta reader.... so I had to quickly rectify that this morning. This is less of a problem than it seems like, because Wyrdsmiths, my writers' group surprised me by wanting to read the book (or as much as they could of it) by THIS Thursday (which is to say, tomorrow), which actually legitimately warms the cockles of my heart, because that is a big ask, as the kids used to say. But, it also means that I probably won't be doing too many giant, substantive changes until I get everything back tomorrow night.

Of course, today I feel super discombobulated. I am having trouble figuring out which end is up and there is garbage that needs taking out and kitty litter that needs purchasing, etc., etc. In fact, I may go take care of some of that right now, with the hopes of being able to settle down after that.

Ugh.
