The End.August 22, 2007
I just typed The End.
For the first time, I typed The End.
It's not really the end, it's the beginning of revisions. But I did it.
I am so happy. I have a completed novel. My tongue is tingling. I might have breathe into a paper bag or something. I did it.
You are so money.

Congratulations! My husband did NaNoWriMo last year too but hasn't worked on it much since then. I know how hard it can be to stick to writing, so color me impressed!

Was the penultimate sentence "And they lived happily ever after"? :)
I'm just being silly, cuz I think it would be neat to write a story where it actually made sense to use that line. Congratulations!

WOW! Congratulations! I read parts of "Bleating Hearts" through the NANOWRIMO site last year and loved it.
This makes me almost as happy for you as Digit's return did (but Digit will always have the edge -- I'm a pet person).
