having written

did i mention i finished a draft of my story? well, i did, on saturday. it was only 7 pages, but that's totally okay. the ending came before i expected it to, but when that last sentence was typed, i knew it was the last sentence. it feels fantastic. i'm still working with the story, editing and elaborating, and now it's 8 pages long (3012 words). it could still grow. i like it. i don't know if it's good, of course; only distance from it will tell me that, but at present i am very happy.

i want to write another one this weekend, with at least some of the same characters. i have a couple of ideas already; i just have to choose which one to write first. whee!

on the downside, i'm still sneezing, and getting a little tired of that.
