Is it me, or is it a bit drafty in here
After five long, word-filled years, it looks like I've actually finished the first draft of the novel that has been hounding my waking and sleeping hours. And more than that, it actually seems to hold together quite nicely, and is a book I'd quite like to read myself, had I not written. So all in all, I'm in the five or ten days long special place where it actually feels like I've achieved something, and I'm not full of self-doubt and anxiety over my work. Here's hoping the feeling can last until after Christmas. Now the next mountain to climb: typing the un-typed half up. Of course if anyone out there loves typing and is at a loose end...

Enjoy the moment, Neil: no-one can say you haven't earned it!
Congratulations Aliya!
Thanks Marina72, but all I've done it manage to resist the chocolate Santa on the tree so far. Still, I suppose that's worth applause too.
Well done Ratty.
Marina72, I've just realised you're Tara! Hello! Lovely review of the Mmm Girl by Faye, I thought. The book seems to be doing really well - deservedly so!
Great news, Neil. Has it got a title?
Yeah, it's called Red Diesel.
Thanks, all.
Well done, Neil! At it sounds as though you've been actually writing it, not typing it - 10/10 for effort :-)
Best
Ian
Oops, my mistake! Thanks Aliya, and congratulations to Neil...
