This? Is halfway.

I might write more this evening, but for now: halfway.

(I had to take out a page or so that was The Wrong Page. All the deleted scenes go into a file--just in case--and every time I throw something out, scrolling through the file gives me a bunch of "yep, that's not the novel I'm writing" "yeah, not that either" moments.)

It feels good to know that instant when the novel turns--that's another thing that I don't think has happened before for me. I have this delicious sense that in a way it will feel like a ball rolling downhill from here on out. Which is nice, except for the part where I know that actually writing the other half of the novel will be much harder than that. So we'll see how that works out for me.

In any case, I have half a novel. That's worth something, I think.
