Novel Progress - 1st Draft Done!

Wow, I can’t believe the day came, but I finally finished my 1st draft of my thesis novel on Sunday evening. It came out to 91,768 words with a marathon 5,437 word dash on the last day. You have no idea how relieved I am about it. By no means am I finished (I still have re-writes to do) but those are a lot easier to do when you have a completed draft in your hands.
For the past two day’s I’ve been holding off on beginning re-writes until I head back from my mentor Gary Braunbeck, but tomorrow I will start writing again with an eye at correcting some of the too formal dialogue and perhaps even writing a short story to change gears a bit.
Either way, it’s great to be done with the first major milestone!
