And the first draft of Dark Water Blues is complete.

I need a beer, and then I'm going to sit and stare at the wall for the rest of the month...

Woohoo! Congrats to you! You deserve a nice long stare at the wall...accompanied by something chilled and bubbly.

::stern look, fingers whip at side::

Hold on here! There's still 6 days in this month and you have another novel to finish! Hop to it, son!

Seriously, congrats! Glad to see that you completed the easy one, but now on to the more difficult one!

On to the more difficult one this winter, perhaps...
aedifica: B/W artist's reconstruction of a building at the Asklepieion in Epidauros. At first glance it looks like a fancy cake. (Tholos reconstruction)

Hooray! Have the icon that looks like cake, but isn't!

Congratulations!

Good thing not much is left of the month; I'm sure you're going to be itching to get going again soon.

Thank you! Now comes the hard part: adding the polish to make it shine.

[identity profile] mgsmurf.livejournal.com 2008-08-26 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Congrats! Hopefully you rather enjoyed the beer, and the feeling of being done, at least with the rough draft.
