I finally finished a book, part II
But this one is WAY more exciting to report on, because it’s MINE! I finished a draft of my novel!!! Yeeehaawwwww!!!! I wrote a note to a bunch of friends saying this feels like a pregnancy, and finishing this draft is like getting to see an ultrasound of the baby. There’s still months of revisions to go before the birth will actually happen, but this right here is milestone enough to set me dancing! And this kind of pregnancy is the very best kind for actually jumping around in the middle of. (I tried dancing with joy one time late in my pregnancy with Elijah and quickly realized why people don’t do that sort of thing. Not twice, anyway.)
I am a very happy duck.

Congratulations, and pregnancy and writing are great similes. Did you do Nanowrimo in November? I can’t remember. I’m really impressed you’ve found the time with Elijah wanting and needing attention. Way to go!
