I'll go through now and do a cursory edit, and divide the great big long block of words into chapters of some description, and then I'll file the story away and work on something else after a break of undetermined length. Maybe the rest of the year.
Who knows?
Today, I'll do nothing but a few silly things - answering some questions, playing silly games online... that kind of thing.
I'll also be grieving the end of a story that, for some reason, I've grown extraordinarily fond of. I honestly can't wait until it's ready to go out into the world. Not that I expect too many people to read it, but still, I'm feeling pretty good about it.
The happy ending (WHAT?! I wrote a happy ending? Me? No!) probably helped...
Oh, and before I forget, I've been interviewed by Rainy Kaye (of Rainy of the Dark). You can read that interview HERE if you want.
Right, I'm off to do nothing in particular. Have a great Wednesday!

Congratulations!!! That's so exciting!! I always love finishing something, regardless whether there will be a ton of revising or not. Each step is a success! After all, 95% of people who consider themselves writers actually complete a book!
I'm a new follower *waves* I love meeting new peeps in blog land! Look forward to future posts!!
Hi Jen! Thanks for the comment. It's lovely to meet you.
What a feeling of accomplishment--and sadness. But it will be fun when you get to look at it again!

I'm fully expecting to giggle hysterically to myself as I edit!
