That's such a great feeling. :) Yay for daily goals, too! "One day at a time" works pretty well for me too. It makes the whole project easier to take it in small chunks.

Hopefully reading it over after you've let it sit for a while will get you excited about the story--or, at the very least, get you excited to transform it. :)Tracey Neithercotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539278941411542797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690071068685176270.post-41353995053998404862015-03-04T12:56:37.107-07:002015-03-04T12:56:37.107-07:00Congrats on finishing the WIP!

I'm usually relieved and a little scared. Despite looking forward to finishing the whole time, I hate endings. It's weird. <br /><br />Faith McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10915328751594168921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690071068685176270.post-47925380744755781742015-03-04T10:38:31.776-07:002015-03-04T10:38:31.776-07:00CONGRATS on finishing up your WiP!

Maybe when you return to it with fresh eyes, you'll love it and have some good strategies/ideas for how to buff it up. I'm with you on forcing my butt into a chair. That usually does the trick for me. I still haven't seen THE DUFF movie, but you had the same reaction I did to Mae Whitman's casting. I love that girl, but she is <i>so</i> not fat. I worry what that does to girls watching the movie. Like, are they going to think they're "fat" too when they see petite Mae Whitman? Dear god, I hope not. :-/ Even so, I'm still looking forward to seeing it. Hope you have wonderful week, Melanie!Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690071068685176270.post-53976694854883670512015-03-04T09:31:19.464-07:002015-03-04T09:31:19.464-07:00Congratulations on finishing your draft! ^_^Congratulations on finishing your draft! ^_^ELAdamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11390894357209056149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690071068685176270.post-10921968011725294612015-03-04T09:17:00.673-07:002015-03-04T09:17:00.673-07:00YAY FOR TYPING THE END!
