It's done. The first draft was approached with trepidation...had to virtually sneak up on it. Did the guerrilla thing and finished it. It's far from perfect, I would even say it is deeply flawed and unformed in many ways.
But it has the farm fresh goodness of a first draft. I have a first line, I have a (lovely) last line and I have a mess of stuff in the middle.
Went to bed at 3am with a smile on my face, woke up at 10am with a smile on my face.
And tonight, I go to bed at an earthly hour, Thank God.
Oh, and I finally visited the Miditech office. I am convinced it is run by the spawns of Satan.
Hey....is it a first draft of a short story or a novel. By now, you must be done editing the last draft too. Tell me about it. If its a novel, has it come out yet?
ReplyDeleteIt was a short story that I submitted to a contest. They were supposed to publish it last year but haven't done so yet. And they claim to possess the rights as well. It's a shitty situation.
