This week I sat at my desk during lunch every day and wrote. I've been working on the third book in my little trilogy I wrote for my daughters. I started the third book back in November of 2010 and finished it just now, 12:55PM, Friday.
I set it down several times in that period and honestly wasn't sure if I'd ever finish it.
Of course I have a long way to go before it's really "done" -- but the first complete draft is here and now I'm relieved. This one is about 10k words longer than the first two. I've been adding in so many missing scenes. I think I really didn't want to write the ending. I suppose that might say a lot about me and my feelings about many things. OR, it might just mean I'm lazy. Or tired. :)
Next steps include: more proofreading, editing, then bundling the three and finding a way to publish and distribute. Create ebooks/etc. Give printed or digital copies to various people/etc.
Now I'm free to start reworking last year's nanowrimo story. I've been excited to get back into that world.

That kind of progress is truly motivating. It's like giving yourself a pat on the back.
