La Vie Boheme

I FINISHED THE HOST!! Ahem.

I FINISHED THE HOST!!

Ahem. Sorry to scream, but I have a feeling my coworkers would frown on me screaming for real around here. I finished the final, confrontational scene last night at Write Club, figuring I had about 1,000-2,000 words left to go to wrap everything up. Then when I was writing this morning, it all came to me and everything was wrapped in a single scene. It might be a little rushed, my endings usually are. I see the ending getting close and I start galloping like a race horse, but I don't care! That's what edits are for, right?

I am an honest-to-goodness novelist, by god! Now it goes in the hypothetical trunk until at least June. At least.

Final word count on the first draft: 64,987.
