Novel draft complete.  Came in at 95K words (give or take).   And I didn't even blow up the universe, as tempted as I was.   It's a pretty hairy rough draft, but its done.  Off it goes on the shelf to cure.  (And just incase there's any confusion, no this is NOT my NaNo project, good lord I'm not good enough to knock out 95K in four days.)   Now to get some other projects done.  I'm going to take the night off from writing, and just allow my brain to shift gears before I start up on the next novel starting tomorrow.

Finally.

First short story draft of the year completed. 8600 words.  Ick.  3,000 of those were from tonight, because I just needed to finish this story already.  It's going to be a lot of editing.   I was originally thinking like 4K.  This is one that's going to need some serious work to get it submission ready.

Tomorrow, on to the next story.   I really need to learn how to write stories shorter than 4,000 words.  This longer stuff is just going to be a pain to try and sell.
