Well, I finished the draft. 27,000 new words in 27 days. We are ready to move into the revision and clean up phase of the work, with the promise of more words in some places and less in others. I gotta admit, I limped through the finish line. I was totally exhausted the last two nights writing this. I do much better in the midday.
It feels good to be done with the draft. I am nervous about not having something to write tomorrow, but I will figure that out when it comes. I need to devote a solid chunk of time and energy towards that goal tomorrow. Heck, just writing that out represents a change of energy and lifestyle focus towards writing.
I’m happy in the most basic sense. If I am looking at the moment in a bubble then it is a wonderful sense of accomplishment and i feel good about it and myself. That feeling is worth all the words.
Some Thoughts:
- Now if I could just get back to being a better friend….
- And lover…
- Big shout to my facebook folks for donating to my son’s fun run. Unexpected and totally appreciated.
- First night sitting in with the football team. Two of the boys are playing together. I’m very rusty in terms of on-field understanding. Still, it was super fun to be out there. Looking forward to game one tomorrow.
- Iowa State lost. My bracket is totally wrecked.
