Short Story Draft Finished!

For once I managed to hit more-or-less my word target on the first draft. That’s a little unusual for me, I normally overshoot and then cut out a bunch of words in editing, but this time I hit a lot closer to the mark.

Granted, this is only the first draft. I still have to let it sit for a little bit, percolate for a day or two, and then read the whole thing out loud to figure out how it “sounds,” but then it’s off to the editor.

Still! It’s nice to have it finished to this point, and I’m quite proud of its current state. So that’s one more thing off the checklist, and more time for me to pump back into the novel! It’s sitting at 10K words at the moment, which is about halfway to where I want it to be by the end of the month, so gotta get those words in there!

Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
