Each happy ending's a brand new beginning

Coming in at 31,426 words: the rough of Trial is finished!

And I've continued the tradition established by The Novel of blasting Ever Ever After when I finish a rough draft.

I reached a natural stopping point after writing three chapters in pieces throughout the day today and took a look at the clock.  It was just after eleven, I had one chapter left, and I basically went, That's it, I'm doing this.  Finished just before midnight, wrote over 3k words today, and now I might be listening to Ever Ever After on repeat.  After the drawn-out process writing this book has been, I did not expect to speed through the last six chapters in two days.

Now I need to go ice my wrists, which, if I recall from finishing Skywatch, is also a tradition.

Christine here,
It's great that you've finished your first draft! I'm happy that you're so happy. And blasting "Ever Ever After" is perfect! I may have to borrow that sometime. :) Good luck on the edits when the time comes.
