That’s right–after nearly three months, the third draft is finished!
How do I feel? Tired. It’s 2:00 am and I’m just coming off of three straight hours of writing. I. Need. Sleep.
I will say this, though: finishing this draft isn’t quite as satisfying, knowing that it needs at least one more revision before it’s fully polished. It’s an accomplishment, I know, but there’s still work to be done–lots of it.
Ah, well. I’ve got time. My goal is to have the finished, polished, final draft done before the end of the year. Now, I just need to put this one on the back burner and let it simmer for a while. In a couple of months, after I’ve finished another project, I’ll probably be excited enough about it to pick it up again.
So much for that. Here are the stats:

Congrats. I can’t believe you’ve revised this story twice since we had 318 together and you had just started this story–in addition to all the other stuff you’ve done. That’s incredible.
Let me know if you’d like any readers.
Congratulations. You inspire me–even though the writing I’m working on is of a markedly different nature, I dream of being able to put down as many words in a day as you do. Baby steps.
Wow, you lengthened it a lot!
Great job! You’re probably the most hard-core about revisions of any wannabe writer I know. You’ll be professional one day, I’m sure of it.
Way to go, Joe!
Nice, you included the word image thing. James, Danica, Hameji… Wait for it…
STEEEELAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
