Also, I don’t know if this is of any significance to anyone, but this is the song that I had playing while I wrote the last scene. Thanks to Rafael <\/a>for tipping me off to it.<\/p>\n

And what are my thoughts, now that it’s finished?<\/p>\n

1)<\/strong> Thank goodness it’s over.
\n2)<\/strong> Wait, it’s over?
\n3)<\/strong> Wow, the ending didn’t suck as bad as I thought it would.
\n4)<\/strong> …is it really over? Really? Like, I’m not going to wake up tomorrow and procrastinate writing all day, like I have for the past two months?
\n5)<\/strong> Huh. <\/p>\n

Of course, it still needs a TON of work–plot holes to fill, character inconsistencies to mend, worldbuilding crap to throw in (or throw out), climaxes to resolve. I won’t send it out to any first readers until after I’ve done at least one major revision.<\/p>\n

Still, there’s something satisfying about finishing a 120k word novel. Most of my misgivings about the story disappeared as I wrote the final chapters, and now I’m much more confident that I can make this thing publishable. <\/p>\n

Eventually, that is. For now, it’s time to move on to the next big project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
