First draft of Misfortune of Vision DONE!

Shoot, I feel a huge sense of accomplishment just finishing a short story; I can't begin to imagine what completing a novel feels like.



Sending this over to Goals & Accomplishments. Hold on for jist a sec.

I absolutely love EVERY time I finish a first draft. I push my laptop back, stretch, take one last sip of coffee, and hold on to that feeling as long as I can. I finally learned that it's a good idea to close the document immediately, before my eyes latch on to the last sentence and my brain says, "No, wait a minute. You can't leave the reader with that..." My inner editor needs to learn to shut her trap and just let me have that little victory for a couple of days

Heck yeah. Sometimes just finishing a particularly difficult scene feels amazing. Finishing the first draft of a longer work is great.

Congratulations! I just finished the first draft of my first novel a couple days ago and I had no idea how good that would feel. I'm glad to hear that after seven novels there's still that same rush of excitement.
Best of luck to you!
