I FINISHED MY WIP!
Well, just the first draft. But let's get serious here, that's the first major step.
And what does finishing a first draft entail? Why it entails A MOTHEREFFING DANCE!
And maybe a fist bump
So. That was good. It ended up just shy of 80K which is awesome. Lots to play around with there. I was really pushing hard the last two weeks. I would just be exhausted in the evenings after writing so many words. Now I have to begin the revising and editing. I think it will need a fair amount of revisions, but nothing I'm not up to.
Mostly, I really really really want to be able to participate in Authoress's Baker's Dozen Auction this year, it was really the motivating factor on keeping me working at such a hectic pace. So, I've got a few months to get this MS in tip top shape, which means hectic revisions from here on out.
LET'S DO THIS!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
p.s. schrute can boogie like no other! i love that man!
Glad you finished! Really hope you dance better than Dwight though.
did you put on your revision hat?
BOO-YAH!!!!! Awesome news. :)
aspiring - yeah, his dancing really came out on top when i was searching for one for the blog
Alex - ooh, i dance way worse than that...
Anne - well, i will once i start revising
DL - thanks! It's certainly a weight off
I really envy you right now. I'm still standing at the bottom of the hill looking up on my current WIP.
Good luck with the revisions. :)
Congrats - that's an accomplishment to celebrate! Good luck with the upcoming revisions :)
Yay! Congrats. Happy Dance for you! I really need to settle in and finish at least one of the ones I started this summer. Preferably soon.
Oooooh! Congratulations! Very exciting! If you CAN build in a break to set it aside, that's ideal, but I get that deadlines don't always allow for it so ONWARD! Good luck with revisions!
Wow, you are so fast! Have fun with your revisions!
LG - but starting a new journey is its own kind of fun too!
Tracey - thanks! I'll take all the luck i can
Anne - well, knowing you, once you make your mind up on which one you want to finish first, you'll be done in no time
Hart - yeah, that's one of the things i'm a bit bummed about, that i don't really have much time just to let it rest. BUT, i figure i can work in a break at a later time. Hopefully.
Clutz - i actually thought i dragged my feet on this a bit. It took me almost 3 months exactly to pump this baby out. I kicked ass at the end here, but the middle definitely had some writing slumps
That's FANTASTIC! Massive massive congrats!
AWESOME! Well done, Sarah. Keep it up.
Woo-hoooooooooo!
That's deserving of a dance, a fist bump and an ice cream cone.
Congrats, woman!
Good for you! You deserve to do a little dance! YAY!
I always aim for 80k - perfect playing room either way. Never get there. So jealous. ;-p
Congrats!!
YAY!!! Congrats Falen on finishing and the word count (sounds like it's right where it needs to be :))
Ninja Girl
P.S. I love Dwight!
Talli - aww! Thanks!
Matt - thanks. I hope i can keep it up with some super paced revisions
Maria - mmmm, ice cream. Though, i have been eating quite a bit of ice cream lately...
ER - if i hadn't been so exhausted it would have been an awesome cray cray dance
Tara - i can't aim for word counts, just because i'm really bad at estimating them. I was hoping i'd hit at least 75K with this one, though, so i guess i was close
Ninja - thanks! And i definitely love his dance. I want to copy it
Congratulations! There's nothing like finishing a first draft. Best of luck with the revising!
Awesome job! Congratulations!
Congrats! Best of luck with revisions :)
Woohooo!!! Congrats girl!
WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME!! :D I'LL BE WAITING FOR ALL OF IT TO BE SENT...NOW!
That is awesome!! Congratulations and break out the bubbly--you deserve it!
Woo woo! Go, Sarah!
Whoohoo! Major congratulations to you! I'll do a victory dance in your honour :)
Awesome news. Mega congratulations!
Christine - thanks! And yeah, it's so nice to get that first draft done
Lisa-Marie - thanks!
Raelyn - thanks! And i'll probably need it
Caledonia - thanks so much!
Hannah - hah! The question is, did you want to wait for me to clean it up a bit first? At least, the parts you don't have? At the very least you should probably wait for the new beginning i have to write, it will help the ending make more sense
Julie - thanks! There was definitely ice cream involved
LD - thanks!
Jamie - aww thanks. I'm sure it's loads better than my dance was
Shirley - hah! And mega thanks back at ya
WOOT!!!!! ☆∴*★∵∶｡◦°✰
