I'm done...
Mood: Exhausted and shocked
What I'm Listening To Right Now: The Australian Open on ESPN
I'm done. I'm done with my book. I finished it. The first draft is completely done and I've written a whole book.
By the way, pardon me if I don't make sense but it's almost five am and I JUST FINISHED MY FIRST BOOK!!!
I'm in a little bit of a daze, to be honest. I thought maybe I would laugh, cry or something when I finished it but I just sort of sat there staring at the laptop wondering what I would do with my time tomorrow.
And I'm not going to lie, I thought about the stack of books I picked up from the library tonight, (yesterday? I don't know...) and how I can read them now that I'm done.
I think I'm going to take a few days and just relax a little and read. Then I'll print it out and really go through it with a fine tooth comb. I know I have a lot to fix and edit and I'm really looking forward to it. Now that I have the story out of my head I can make it really good.
I've worked on this book for over a year now and I simply cannot believe that I'm done. Honestly, this is where the pressure starts. Now it's time to make it great and send it off and hope agents think it's great. But I'm just going to enjoy this right now, I think.
Maybe I'll work out for a while tomorrow and not worry about how much writing I could be doing. I know one thing, I'm going to read a book that's not mine! :)
Oh, I went over my word total a little. I ended somewhere around 120,640 or something like that. Some of that is sure to disappear but I'm going to save everything I delete so I can laugh at my first draft in a few years. (Hopefully from the top of the Best Sellers List, ha!)
Obviously, I need to go to sleep. But I just had to get this out there because I can't believe it.
I'm done.
