Okay, it's finished. The first draft is finished. Now I go clean my room.

Terrific!

And after you clean your room, think of something a bit more...celebratory to do.

That's an unusual sort of celebration.

Well, if you saw my room, you'd understand. It's been on the to-do list for um, well, six months now.

It's also the sewing room, and it's so dusty that I can only clean it a little bit at a time and then go inhale.

Whoo-hoo!

Terrific.

I think endings are difficult because we get so much less practice at them - beginnings, sure, you do them all the time, and abandon ship, but at least you get to _practice_. Endings are hard, but immensely satisfactory.

Celebrate, let it rest, then send it out to beta readers

Oh well done!
