I achieved a goal today! Or, rather, my writing partner and I achieved a goal. We completed Draft 3 of the novel we have been working on for nearly two years!
This was the editing project which kept me so busy this last week. The book is over 100,000 words long, over 400 pages in Microsoft Word with 1.5 line spacing and has 23 chapters. It was quite the arduous task!
Our goal was to send it off to a single person by the end of this weekend and I can happily say that I sent out that email before noon today!
I meant to write this post earlier -- right after sending the email would have been good... -- but kept setting it aside for other things, such as rewarding myself with TV watching. There's no excuse for not posting sooner. I want to write and posting here helps with that. Even if no one is reading..... ;)
Anyhow, the editing goal was achieved! Tomorrow it's back to our regularly scheduled programming of new words written.
