You Can Stop Now, Tonya

After midnight Monday morning - I'm finally done.

I feel about ready to cry. I've finally completed a major milestone in my life - a completed novel. This particular one carries a great deal of me in it even though it is actually fiction. I've poured my heart and soul into this piece of work and even done some soul searching and healing through it. There's a planned sequel, but at least book one is finally finished.

Well the first draft anyway. I'll get busy on revisions after letting it simmer for a month or two. Maybe even three.

I started it almost three years ago - June 8, 2005. Of course, it could have been done much earlier if I'd have stuck with it every stinking day. But life too must go on and be lived.

For now, I'm going to bed. Tonight will be sweet dreams indeed, that is if I can relax these knots in my neck.

Oh and Tonya, you can stop with the drumroll and go to bed yourself. You've been a great friend to stay up with me all weekend!
