200 pages done, the most I have ever written. Pretty proud of myself. and unlike many other attempts, I still have a succinct vision for the last third of the book. My mind is swimming with all the needed additions, removals, and polishing I will need to do on my re-write but I’m excited to finally finish a novel. I’ve completed hundreds of short stories and novellas. but there is something exhilarating about the idea of writing those last words of the last page in a couple months.
