Yay! (progress of novel)

[mary_j_59]

I still have a long way to go, but I finished the first draft of Honor this morning. It ended up just under 80 thousand words - so just about twice as long as I expected it to be. And I learned an awful lot from the process. More on that later.

Rewriting starts tomorrow; I have to rewrite one chapter pretty extensively and clean up two or three others slightly before I have a really good draft. Then I can start looking for agents.

Yay! Well done :)

I'm probably too late, but if I were you, I'd set it aside for at least a week before starting the rewrites.

Sounds great! Have you given any hints about what it's about? I haven't been good at keeping up with everyone's posts, so I may have missed it.
