I just had to write a brief post to celebrate: I finally, finally finished writing my NaNoWriMo project! For those who have been reading me for a while, you know that I officially completed NaNoWriMo’s 50k words by the 28th of November. However, I still had two chapters to write to actually complete the book. Those two damn chapters took me another two months to write! (This is a good demonstration of why having a strict writing deadline is important.) Now, at last, I’m finished: the final novel word count was 61.5k. Maybe I can get back to writing my textbook, now…

Skulls in the Stars 
Hooray!
I’ve actually got a novel on my hard drive (in LaTeX, of course) which has been gestating and expanding for just over six years. I’m hoping to finish it this month. . . .
Congratulations Honey! We should celebrate. I’ve got some champagne in the fridge…
Babs67 & Blake: Thanks! It feels good to be done; the only damper on the celebrating is that I’m already thinking of ideas for the next NaNoWriMo…
Good luck finishing your own novel, Blake!
