I finished the first draft of my HTTS book! WOOT!! Of course, because I roared on through it, I am still finding things out in HTTS that I could have done differently (like last week’s lesson on how to “fix” something without really fixing it). But, I FINISHED IT!! EUREKA!!!! HURRAH! WOOT!!!
And now onward with revisions!
Thanks Holly!

Woohoo! Yes, you can always find something to do differently--which is why Perfect never finishes.
But you did! Awesome. TX:)

Considering my biggest problem has always been "perfect never finishes" or actually more like "perfect takes forever to finish", it is pretty darn cool. Holly's tool kit is extremely helpful, but the knowledge that other people have the same issues/fears/concerns/problems has been very helpful as well. This place is very supportive and fun besides.
Thanks!

YAY! We are all so happy that you finished! I totally understand the "perfect takes forever to finish" feeling. I'm still battling that. And this community has given me the strength to continue. Hopefully soon I'll be joining you and have a finished rough draft too!
Holly's tool kit got me writing when nothing else did. So I have to agree on that as well. I think she has saved a lot of us.
Any congrats and I hope revision goes well for you!

Awesome!
Once you get the first draft done, the rest is just revision. And you can fix ANYTHING in revision.
