These are my victory arms: see them? ---> \O/
The novel is finished. It's 103,001 words. I almost hate to do that last edit, because it will sadly end without that one extra word that I find strangely adorable.
I expect to edit for about a week. I don't do second drafts; it's hard enough for me to focus long enough to get all the way through a project, and there's no frigging way I can write anything twice. I have no choice but to get it right the first time, which is why I'm so goddamn slow.
After that it's all just the technical end of the whole self-publishing/POD experience, and luckily I have a lot of support on that front, so hopefully it will be pretty painless. (If you've done it and it was the worst experience of your life, please don't tell me today. I'm basking.)
I'll have more to say soon. Today, basking.
It's *done.*
