no, no, not done
Dec. 30th, 2011 11:10 pmI refuse to believe that this is actually a draft; I am still somewhere in the middle of the swamp, slogging. I just ran out of words.
Still and all--44,100 words, or 224 pages in MS Word.
Which is shorter than the first novel I won NaNoWriMo with. Shorter than any novel to win NaNoWriMo, too (the first novel I won NaNo with was 75k). Nearly half the length of the zeroth draft of this, finished the summer after I graduated high school. And yet...and yet...
Darnit, now I have to follow through on the rest of that resolution and write a query letter. (Weirdly, that is the most real thing right now.) And sometime in the New Year, I will dig out all those manuscripts from VP and figure out how terrible my prose is.
And then maybe I will query agents on a novel.
Um. Okay. Wow. Hi.
I just finished revising a novel.
