Finally

Well, I've done it.
The first draft has been completed. Over five hundred pages of raw consituent. I can't tell you yet how it feels, for it's too early to say. Relief and hope- wait I did say I couldn't tell you right?- pesky thing is the brain.
But it's completed, lying gathering silicone dust in the ol 'puter memory banks. (Why is it you never hear of memory bank raids? Maybe there's no money in old memories. Now where was I?...)
Ah yes, 4-6 weeks of rest shall do the old girl good -and me of course- then I shall review like a gaggle of legs in Moulin Rouge. Wait that's revue isn't it?
Still a gaggle of legs is hard to resist, unless you're at a rugby match, then I'm disinterested about the entire thing.

As to the lucky ones chosen to read a copy after the first few revisions (you know who you are) all I can say is thank you for lending me your brains. I do hope that I treat them with kinder restraint than their owners have up till now. *Grins*

For the intervening month or so I shall be writing short stories and reading as much as possible. I shall post a few online so that if interested you can peruse at your leisure. Until then 'So long'- as the French say.
