Good, good. It's nice to hear that.
So, umm, Notice anything? Anything different?
No? I'll give you a hint. It's over to the right. Don't worry, I'll wait.
That's right! The first Draft is complete! wOOt!
Ohhhhhh it's been so long since I've gotten to write "The End" on a piece that's longer that 30k. It feels good. I'd forgotten how good it feels.
In celebration I, of course, do a dance. A "The End Dance". It's very similar to the "New House Dance" of which I am frequent participant.
Here's a video of the "The End Dance". Feel free to copy and mimic
h/t to Joan Crawford for her awesomeness.
Peace out, friends. I will be back tomorrow, assuming I didn't hurt myself whilst dancing.

Whoo-hoo! Way to go, Fallen!! I'm doing the dance with you, girl (and feeling very inspired to get writing, myself!)
Enjoy -- it's gotta feel good!
((hugs)) Nicole
Great Job Sarah. That's awesometastic news!!! It's such a relief to see those two words isn't it?
Rock-n-Roll, Sarah! Way to go! That's fantastic news!
Yay! You go on and break sticks over your knees to your heart's content!
Your dance looked EXACTLY like Slater's dance, especially the break-stick move. But yours had the added benefit of the Pee-Wee Herman
Woah woah, wait. Did you actually get up and dance? And I missed it? Damnit!
Congrats. This is definitely a moment for a happy dance. :)
"The End" is so satisfying! Congratulations.
Thanks everyone!
And yes, Patrick, i did dance and it did include the Pee-Wee Herman
Hurray! Big hug coming your way. Now, go celebrate!! :-)
That is just effing beautiful!!! Congratulations!
i love seeing my book printed out! congrads on finishing.
Congrats! Now go dance your way through a warehouse, Kevin Bacon-style!
BTW, I love that you immeditately printed out a copy. I just printed my NaNo book for the first time last week, lol.
Cha-Ching! Congrats. Bask in the accomplishment for a while!
Ooooh. Look at how pretty and professional that first draft looks!
You so deserve that "The End" dance.
Thanks everyone!
Teebore - i don't typically print anything off right away, but i used it to surprise Anne - also i figured i can use it for line edits and whatnot in a month or so.
KL - i know! I was surprised by how HUGE it was, and it's amazing how once something gets past a certain amount of pages it looks "legit".
Congratulations.
It is such a fantastic buzz to get to that point.
The best thing is that although there are a lot of steps along the way from here, each gives its own thrill.
