is
7 years, 8 months, 12 days.

Four+ false starts.
Two NaNoWriMos.
64 000 words.

I finally have a cohesive first draft for Dante Stormchilde. I am absolutely positive it is entirely terrible. But officially, anything I write from here is no longer a first draft. It's a second. Or a third. A fifth, a fifteenth.

A final.

I am one step closer to what I want from the world, and if I seem overwhelmed, it's only because this is only the second time I've finished a novel(la) length story in my life.

Cheers.

Congratulations! Anything over 40,000 is a novel by SFWA rules, so I think you can leave off the la.
