Victory! (Of a sort)

As of last week, I have officially finished the FIRST draft of the new manuscript! (This is actually the third draft, if we're being specific, but it is the first time I've made it through to the end without stopping and starting over--as I did at about page 300, and then again at 500, for those of you keeping track. Really, I'd rather not. :))

So now ... a week or so of reading it through before I hand it off to my critique partner, who will no doubt find myriad reasons for me to start over once again. But for now, I'm breathing a heady sigh of relief.
