slipjig3: (hamlet 2 writing)
I'm aware that some will be reading this multiple times, due to differing social media connections and/or filter access, but since I'm damned close to taking out a billboard on the MassPike to announce it, I might as well repeat myself here.

The first draft of The Noise of Endless Wars, my first novel, My NaNoWriMo project from nearly four years ago, is finally, finally done.

And you know what else? It doesn't suck. (Note: Evaluations of non-suckiness are strictly those of the Management. Your mileage may vary.)

It's just shy of 95,000 words, and it needs some serious polishing in places if not outright demolition and reconstruction, but it worked out better than I could have ever hoped for. This week I plan to start with the ol' red-pen hack-'n'-slash, but for tonight I'm going to revel in the fact that there's a rodent-concussion-sized stack of paper sitting on the dining table right now, and I WROTE IT. Drinks are on me! (No, literally, because my hands are sore from all that typing, and I'll probably be spilling quite a bit.)
