August of I FINISHED THIS BOOK.

[owlectomy]

45710 / 40000 words. 100% done!

After my shower I sat down and said, "I have a day off. I have nothing that needs doing, except the dishes. There is no reason for me not to sit down and finish this book."

So I did.

Who cares about dishes? I'm going for *DESSERT*.

Woooooo! I say TWO desserts.

[owlectomy]

Thanks! It did actually end up being two desserts when I found that Kinokuniya had no sandwiches but DID have orange-pineapple-mango crepes. YUM.

You could have a sherbet starter, fruit salad, candied yams for entree, and peach tarts for a finish!

[owlectomy]

That is how it should be done! (Actually had potatoes with gruyere, which is a win if a slightly less sugary one...)

Congrats! Most impressive!

I've tried in the past to write a book, but... well, let me just say that I am most envious of and impressed by those who can not only organize and follow-through on a plot which makes sense, but can do it in such a way that the text, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph (and, oh! the dialogue! how dialogue is totally my bane!), flows nicely.
