uberreinigerI think I need a shower and a cigarette - and not just from chatting with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nolens_volens tonight. I just finished the second draft of the novel. Now I have no more excuses. Nothing left to do but to go out and find an agent and publisher. Sure, there may be one or two very minor tweaks here and there, but the writing by and large is done, done, done. Of course, that doesn't count the submission outline I have to write and all the query letter's I'll have to compose. But... wow. I'm finally _here_ people. The day has finally happened. I guess now I'm plum out of excuses if I'm not spending every spare moment trying to get this thing on bookstore shelves. If I don't have proof of my efforts in a month's time, all of you feel free to come to my house and kick my ass. It is your duty as friends.
In other news, went to a Legend of the Five Rings tournament today and had the best time I've had at such an event in well over a year now. The guy running it gave out a ton of door prizes so everyone walked away with some loot. I now have a boken, (Japanese practice sword,) thanks to this. Heyanirishspitfire, it looks like I have no excuse not to take up iaijutsu now, huh? Pretty dang cool, I think. I didn't make top eight, but I won more than I lost and that's enough to keep me happy.
All in all, not bad for a day's work. And a fine way to end things as I prepare to submerge into the last cycle of play rehearsals, a.k.a., Hell Week X2.
Huzzah.
