La Vie Boheme

The 15th? The 15th did I say? HA!

After blasting out the end of Chapter 17 this morning, I went on to write all of Chapter 18 in a long marathon day of writing.

4500 words later, the first draft of The Exile's Daughter is FINISHED!

I love the way the ends came together and tied themselves up at the end. I love the way it ends. I think for once I've managed to write something that doesn't have a totally wimpy and weak ending. I think I may have something here.

Tomorrow, I am SO taking tomorrow off.

And to think it all started with me just wanting to write a combat scene. That was June 6th. By July 7th, I knew I had a novel. And today, October 12th, that novel is complete. I don't think anything feels as sweet as that.
