Thank You and Good Night

So it turns out that 12% of people from the poll earlier this week were right -- I've finished the first draft of my story, but I haven't quite hit the 50,000 word mark. I could have gone back and added in the 487 words necessary to reach the target but it would have felt a bit too much like cheating (surely that would be a second draft!). So that's it folks! First draft complete with 49,513 words.

For those of you who would like to read the rough draft, here is a link to the PDF version.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged and supported me throughout this month -- both on my book and in my recovery. I am one very lucky person novelist, that's for sure!
