Lightning has struck twice

Finished. The. Novel.

Mind you, this is the definition of "finished" that includes about a billion find-a-better-word brackets, and I'm not sure about the flow on the last page, and we'll see what my alpha-reader says. But unless I've missed something, I have a continuous stream of text from the beginning to the end. It clocks in at just under 102,000 words, which I believe makes it the longest thing I've ever written.

And now I get to prep for attending two cons simultaneously, one in person and one virtual, and finish inventory-ing for Narrativity so I can get all this stuff out of the entry hall, and find a new home for the extra cat, and so on. Like the saying goes, before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water; after enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.

But still. Finished. The. Novel.
