I've been writing ALL DAY.
Well, okay. Not every single minute. I did manage to do five loads of laundry, take a walk with the dog, and eat.
Other than that, I wrote.
Hubby took the kids for the afternoon to leave me with lots of peace and quiet. And then, an hour after hubby got home, he took a nap and the kids did their own thing (quietly, even!) and I had even MORE peace and quiet.
Suffice to say, that after I take one more read-through and perhaps edit a bit more in certain sections, I am done. I'll print off the novel tomorrow and send it off to the agent.
I'm not sure how many words I wrote today (but it was A LOT), but in the midst of my cutting and adding, I somehow pared my manuscript down by 6000 words. Since it originally "clocked in" at over 106,000, I'm thinking this is a good thing. :-)

ReplyDeleteNow tell me what kind of magic ritual you had to perform to get an agent request before the book was even finished. Do I need eye of newt for such a feat?
