Day 229

56,140 words.  I am working on one more scene and then I will be done with this first draft.  On Thursday I will be sending this novel out to some friends and have them read it for me if they are willing.  I am proud of myself for finishing this.  I pulled out Curly and read it again.  I think I will be ready to take a look at that story again once I've finished this.  It feels so good to be writing.  It feels even better to have finished a goal I set.
