Now I Collapse

I took today off to finish. At about 11 AM I finished the longhand draft of the novel (I still haven't settled on a title); after a break to work out, watch some "Mad Men," shower and eat lunch, I typed the last bit up at about 1:15. So drafts 1 and 1.5 are now complete. This one took a long damn time; I started it in the summer of 2009, and now it's done, if only for the moment.

Here's what it looks like as a Wordle, because I love Wordles and I don't care who doesn't:

Awesome! And I just fired the first "Silver Moon" query off to an agent. We are due for celebrating!

THE HUGEST YAYS OF ALL TIME. If you need a beta reader or two...

YAY!

Fingers crossed for SM! And I'm up for some low-key celebrating; I'm, uh, broke :-)

Thanks!

My plan is to sit on this for a few weeks and then shoot for a revision by WisCon, so if you'd be interested in beta reading around then I'd love to have your eyes on it.

Great feeling, isn't it? And thanks to Wordle, I've already read your novel - Loved it! Couldn't put it down! :-)
