OMG! I wrote the last scene!

There is still much to do, but this felt too momentous a thing to leave for my end-of-month review...

I have just written the last scene of my first draft of the Keats novel. Hurrah! *faints* *thud* *scrambles back up again*

After a few days' good run of writing, I am done. For now at least. It's all too short, I fear, currently clocking in at 51,800 words. But it feels good. These last days have been all about the drama of the climax and denouement. I think it works. It feels solid.

Next to do: have some select friends read it for me; ponder my own thoughts; carefully consider their feedback; work on a second draft. Start sending it out to potential agents!

Oh god - after all these years of thinking and wishing and being afraid to even start, this feels so damned good!

Thank you for the happiness, hon!

But I was kinda hoping your writer!self would be inspired or some such thing... :-( I know! Get competitive! Gird your loins and strap on Arthur's big swordy thing! You go, girlfriend!

Would it help if I told you I'd been thinking about this book, and researching on-and-off, for like FIVE YEARS or something before I was game enough to start writing it...? And then it's turned out so short! You are only seeing the tip of the iceberg here, I promise. :-)

Thank you again for the good wishes. Being the next astolat sounds just ginger peachy to me!
