My goal this year was to finish my novel. Seven days into the new year and my first draft is finally done! I still have a lot of work to do on it, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Melody, we grant you the official right to slightly edit the way you think of this accomplishment. Yes, it's a first draft, but man, you finished a book! That's something many attempt but few achieve, and we're proud of you.
Thanks everyone! Took me years to finish this thing as I took frequent breaks from it. It changed a lot too from when I first started. It’s a relief to be at this stage finally!
Congratulations! When I finished the draft of my first novel a person who used to be very active on these boards told me 'not a lot of people make it that far'
Congratulations! I felt super good about it the day I finished my first draft. Editing can be a slog, but know that writing your story from beginning to end is an achievement of its own! Not many people accomplish that!
Now that the easy part is done, time to start the editing. Just kidding, Melody. Completing your first draft is an accomplishment to be proud of. Well done!
