The deed is done, 50,276 words!

It's done! My first novel -- written, thanks to the good folks at Nanowrimo. I am so excited.

Knowing that a well written novel is not that same thing as a written novel, I am taking the advice of those more experienced than I which means that I am leaving all 80 pages (!!!) in my files for a couple of weeks and then I'll go and start the real process of writing which is the rewriting.

For now, I'm going to sit in the glow of getting this done. This is an awesome feeling.
