I'm done!

[sinanju]

I hit 98,010 words on the novel today--and that's the end. Technically I was shooting for 100,000 but I hit the end of the story and that's it. If I wrote any more I'd be adding words just to pad the count. Besides, when I'm done with the revisions, I expect to cut the word count down to about 90,000 (maybe even a little lower) anyhow. So I'm calling it done.

At least the first draft.
Then there's the clean-up.
Then I let my lovely and talented wife read and critique it.
Then I make any changes I think advisable...and then out the door it goes.
