Is it really finished?
Mar. 5th, 2008 10:55 pmI think I may finally have finished the rough draft of the novel I began during NaNoWriMo back in November. As some of you may recall, I hit 50,000 words - the word count needed to "win", then sort of stopped mid-book.
The "final" word count is around 57,000, and there are definitely some things I wanted to put in there that didn't make it, but hey, it's a rough draft.
And it found a spot to end.
So now, I need to let it sit for a while, and then begin a process that is going to be new and strange for me - actually revising it and getting it past Draft I and into Draft II.
If anyone knows of any good resources on revision, please do let me know.
But meanwhile, I think it's done!
