it's official, I'm done
Fell into bed at about 6:30am & didn't wake up until after 2pm. And then I was groggy most of the day. I felt like a balloon that had been blown up to its fullest capacity...& then let go to sputter down to nothing. All I wanted to do was stare at the TV screen & zone out. American Idol was especially good for this, & my cats loved it because I just laid there like a lump, letting them sleep on top of me instead of moving all over the place or propping my AlphaSmart on them. :-)But finally, around 1am, I did pick up my Alphie & start working on that epilogue. Got it finished, too. Yay! I really like it. It doesn't answer any questions left open-ended by the last chapter, but I was able to come full circle with the story, which I love. I don't get the chance to do it very often, either.
And now, once again, I get to crash for a while. Don't know if I'll read or go to bed early, but it feels great to have another book finished & know for a certainty that I'm going to meet my deadline.
I'm also starting to get excited about the next story already. I have what I think is going to happen plotted out, but I need to run it past my editor. Then I'll whip up a synopsis & get started on the actual writing of that book.
No rest for the weary, right? :-D
