I'm almost finished with The Novel's new ending! I'm so excited!
I literally just finished writing the climactic fight scene, and it looks like this draft is going to wrap up at ~93k words--which is ten thousand words longer than my rough draft. I'd hoped to cut down The Novel, but it looks like that's a job for another draft. On the other hand, I know this draft is much better than the rough, with a tighter plot and, hey, basic grammar mistakes and anachronistic language fixed! In the sections that I edited instead of rewriting, anyway.
This has taken me so long already, and I know it's going to take a lot more time, but this will be the first time ever I've made it through a new draft of a novel. I'm so excited--I don't know what I'll do when I actually reach the end. Maybe dance. Probably dance.
