Congratulations!
My biggest drafting ...Yay you!!! Congratulations! <br /><br />My biggest drafting day ever was 8,000 words in about 10 hours. And I managed it on the last drafting day for my Armageddon Book Deadline this past August. I was desperate to just be done because I had to turn in the book so fast to my editor. Those last chapters can be motivating to push through just so you can write "The End". Enjoy the feeling! Raising chocolate cake to ya!<br /><br />(In case you're curious, it was 45,000 words and then during the second draft I added 17,000 more words and rewrote whole scenes all over again.)Kimberley Griffiths Littlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269829969442171522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293818069256266954.post-68931179541574343402010-10-21T12:23:51.817-07:002010-10-21T12:23:51.817-07:00I think I'd be hating my butt right now, not t...I think I'd be hating my butt right now, not the chair.
