Title: through draft done
Post by: the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh on December 24, 2009, 08:19:57 PM
..on my biggest WiP. 491,000 words, thirteen years working on it off and on, and yesterday i finished the epilogyue. it needs a mass of consistency checks and the like, but still, worth noting.

I have a number of other things to do (one needing a through pass and resubmission, one needing some People Stuff done to confirm it's OK to submit it where i want to, and one needing a quick last check before I send it to a congenial expert on the historical period in question who has offered to give me a read-through) before I come back to this; I hope that clears my head enough.

More sort of feeling very weird to have something so omnipresent gone.

Congrats! That's quite an accomplishment. You should definitely be proud. So you're gonna let it sit for awhile to clear your head? (Sounds like a really good idea.) Any ideas of what you're going to work on in the meantime?

Congrats on the milestone!  (Or should that be millstone? ;))

way to go.  Job well done as you stare at it in wonder.  *applause and whistling*

Mostly 'wonder" of the "now that I know how it ends, I wonder how I tighten it so that all of that ending works" variety..

Congrats!

Hopefully the psychic weight of getting it to this state is off and producing much 'success' endorphins.

I get the sense of

"time to get off my back end and do some -focused-, intense, work on it instead of plodding along as I have been",

from neuro, but that may be just me.

13 years, huh?   Weel, that gives me some hope that we will finish that upstairs bathroom some day.    ;)
