It's done.

Oh god, it's done.
I just finished it.
I said I would finish it, and I finished it.
It's done.
I mean, it's done for now. Only one other will read it before it's edited. It'll languish, probably for six months or so while I put together a short story collection and do NaNoWriMo in November.
But the first draft. The first draft of my first novel. It's 536 pages (okay, that was with 1.5 inch margins all around, because they wanted it that way when I submitted the first few chapters to a contest) - 480 pages with 1.5 inch top and left margins and 1 inch right and bottom ones. It's 122,953 words long. It's a mess. It's rambling, it's inconsistent and the plot makes very little sense to me anymore - but it's a novel. It's done.
It's done.
It's terrible.
