Today at 11:50 a.m., I wrote the words “The End.” The first draft of my novel Romeo, Juliet & Jerome, is complete. Lots of uphill editing and revision ahead, yes. However, for today, it is a small victory on the journey. I began writing Romeo in May 2009. Squeezed between other projects and the projects of others, sacrifices were made, time was devoted. Progress is made. in many ways, the free and fun part is behind me. But I love editing, too. I’ll hone the draft and make it sharp and send it off to market this fall. In a word…hurray.
