After some twenty years of wanting to do it, several first chapters, a major false start two years ago (25k of words) I have just finished the first draft of my first novel.
With a writing stint of 2,803 words today I have come in at a total of 107,257 words. What a lot of lovely words to work with...
Christmas can now go ahead.
