*deep breath*

I. Finished. THE. FUCKING. BOOK!

YES!

*throws confetti*

January 2003. That's when I started The Fucking Book. At the time I was confident I'd have a rough draft done in three months. Other people were writing books even faster, why not me?

Oh childish innocence, where art thou?

But two years and I don't even want to think how many trashed partial drafts later, I am finished the fucking book.

*throws more confetti*

Final word count is 106,967 words, not counting "THE END", which I typed, it must be said, with vengeful satisfaction. That's roughly 428 manuscript pages to you non-word-counting people.

And it's DONE. Of course, I have to revise it, but I'm not thinking about that now, I'm basking in the glow of done-ness, don't bother me with silly details. It's done.

Let there be balloons! Let there be music! Let there be alcohol!

*throws more confetti*

*realizes she's getting confetti everywhere and stops*

Okay. Y'all can stop staring now.
