First draft stats, ONE SALT SEA.

Current stats:

Words: 8,719.
Total words: 116,192.
Reason for stopping: I sort of, well, ran out of book.
Music: random shuffle, heavy on the Broadway.
Lilly and Alice: I have no idea. That's probably not good.

First draft stats:

Pages: 428
Chapters: thirty-five
Started: I have absolutely no idea
Finished: October 30, 2010

I am...oh my sweet Great Pumpkin, you guys, I am finally done. The book is currently about 5,000 words longer than it's going to be when it's turned in, because the final draft needs to be 111,000 words, not 116,000, but this is my first draft, and it's finally done. I have finally written an ending to the Toby book that would not die. Draft one is finished. I know how it ends. After all this time, I know how it ends, and it makes sense, and it hangs together, and it needs some paint and fixing up and everything, but...

But it's done. One Salt Sea is done.

I need a hug.
