I DID IT!!!

I got through 10,000 words today - that was all I was lacking. I am slightly crosseyed - no joke - but it is done!

I haven't cleaned the last few days - laundry is piled up in my laundry room (but is that really that different?) I did make breakfast today - apple cinnamon muffins. Took the boys out for lunch ('cause I kinda forgot) and made a great meatloaf and mash potato dinner!

And I did it - WOOHOO - I even finished the book's story. It needs edits like crazy but from 1 to 231 it is complete and I got 50,000 words. YEA ME!

(three days to spare and it will take me that long to do all the cleaning I have missed!)

Thanks! I am excited since it's been over a year since I finished a book. I left out about three chapters at least worth of info just so I could get to the climactic ending! Have you ever seen a ghost REALLY pissed - I have now!

Now's the time to go back and fill in. When my novel is done it will be about 87,000 words. That's a lot of filling in!

Now you know you can finish a first draft in a month....you just lost your last reason to procrastinate!!!!!:-)
