OMG! I wrote the last scene!

[slashweaver]

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!

I simply had to make a Colin icon for this special occsion! ❤

He looks a bit serious but he drinks a toast to you - and so do I! :D

Hee! You are so adorable! Of course he's looking serious... he's thinking about how he's going to go about winning the leading role in the movie... Pity he's too smart to do something as useless as sleeping with the writer! XDDD

Remember what Katie said about Colin being a Dark Horse... *wiggles her eyebrows suggestively* :D
