Just shy of 33,000 words, I have finished the story I set out to tell.
I'm not sure that the last of the flashback segments is what you'd call satisfactory, but I'll do what I can to fix that before midnight.
The last of the segments set in the here and more or less tomorrow, I think I'm happy with.
I believe I'm gonna let Destine inside and cuddle her some. Then I'ma drink a whole bottle of de-alcoholized champagne while I set to the task of revising and polishing. I have, by my reckoning, near on five hours to do that.
This is the second longest piece of prose I have ever finished. That's a little shameful, actually. Considering the circumstances, though, I'm happy.
Once I get it buffed up, I may decide to leave it as is, and use it, eventually as part of my collection of shorter Sel Souris related pieces.
I was as surprised at the very ending of the modern day segments as anyone. Harry pulled one on me I did not see coming. That might be my favourite thing in the world when that happens.
I'll keep you posted on the revisions.
I was honestly worried I didn't have it in me, but as of this moment, both Rilla and I have met the challenge of the weekend.
And if she were here, she could have some of my champagne.

Congrats, to both of you. We're still at it, and just broke out the toy piano.
Congrats! And if you have a few words left in you, drop by my blog and drop a few words about the speed-writing experience...
Congratulations to both of you! That's an extraordinary accomplishment.
Thanks for all the congrats. I'm quite pleased that I'm done.
