THE NOVEL IS DONE

I got to type “END” at the bottom of the LAST CHAPTER this morning!

Well, actually, it wasn’t the last chapter–it was the coda, which cometh after the last chapter.

EVEN SO.

And, rather not coincidentally, Mark and I have fled town for the coast.

We’re hiding in this lovely timeshare-condo-place that his mother’s cousin has, er, a share of; they (mother & cousin) are in an adjacent unit, and will be coming here for dinner as soon as we tell them it’s ready.

BUT I JUST HAD TO TELL YOU THAT THE NOVEL IS DONE!!

(Editor Jak, if you are reading: um, we’re actually going to read through this last bit one more time….it’ll be along in a few days!)

YAY DONE YAY DONE YAY
