Relief and a little sadness

Just finished writing another novel 10 minutes ago - somewhere around 99000 words. Always a weird emotional moment made lots of new (fictional) friends along the way - not quite time to say goodbye to them just yet as now the hard bit begins ****swear filter - editing!!!
Time to rewrite big sections - run spell check, take out lots of "was's" and "there's and theirs" and generally bore myself to tears trying to make sure I show not tell, check that what's her name's Mother has the same name she had in April when I started... Ahh the joys!!!

    Give yourself a break from it for a few weeks before you start editing, datco. You'll see so much more once you do start editing after a break.

    Well done datco - and don't start immediately on that edit. Write something else totally different - have a break from wiriting if you cana, but do. not. start. yet. You'll ruin it if you do, and what's worse, your own work will bore the pants off you!

    Congratulations.

    It is an odd feeling, isn't it?
