Done! Or at least rough drafted!

Oddly, the last sentence I wrote -- I write out of chronological order -- was "It's almost over."

YAY!

It has been way too long since I finished a book. [livejournal.com profile] timprov was up to congratulate me.

Now I will collect kisses from the sleeping [livejournal.com profile] markgritter, give the sleeping [livejournal.com profile] missista a tummy rub, see about a walk with [livejournal.com profile] timprov, and figure out what we're going to do for a small celebration. Then I will take a writing break for a day or two, and then I will do a quick read-through, and then I will let first-readers at it.

And I will try to wait at least five seconds before starting to mull over what to write next, after I'm done with this pass of revisions on it and Sampo.

Boooook!

I don't think I can afford them for everyone. But I think ice cream sundaes for me and other parties to be determined would be appropriate.

I don't rock as much as Kermit, however. Because no vertebrate mortal does.

Woo-hoo! Now go take a week to watch movies and clean out your attic!

Or at least that's what I do. :)

We only have one thing in the attic. It's been there since the owners before the owners before us. We're not sure if it's a Christmas tree or Uncle Frank, and we're not sure we want to know.

Uncle nicknack's summer wardrobe?

If ever you need someone of small(er) stature to climb around in your attic I'll volunteer.

Plus now I'm envious: the only thing my previous house owners left was a roll of insulation. No battered trunks or boxes, no drop-cloth draped mounds or assorted furnature, no stacks of newspapers, old hat boxes, or bins of broken toys. ::sigh:: I fear reading too much Bradbury in my youth has warped my expectations for attics.

It's just the one thing, though, in one large box. Getting it down would be a beast, and short of that I see no reason to interfere with it.

For me it was cedar closets. My grands had one, so I transferred both Bradburian attics and Lewisian wardrobes onto it.

Fortunately all I found up there when we moved in was a door.

There's a lot of fluffy insulation, though. Never know what might be lurking beneath the pink sea.

I feel having that your battle spork and smiting comment from the DBM manuscript on my monitor made all the difference.

BOOOOOK!!! WOOOHOOO!! Book, book, book!

(I am so articulate in my joy. ::grin::)

Congrats! I can't eat ice cream in your honour, but perhaps I'll make some iced hot chocolate at 8:00 instead (er, 9:00, I suppose) and celebrate from afar.
