Reaching the Halfway Point

At the end of last week, I finally reached the halfway point for the first draft of my novel. It was a minor celebration, as it's technically just a word count plucked from the sky, but it still felt good.

I guess it's a bit like the due date for a baby: although you really have no idea exactly when it's going to arrive, it's nice to have a date to work towards. I just hope that finishing the book isn't as painful as giving birth.

Finishing it isn't. its the re-draft and the editing that follow are!
Keep going and best of luck with everything.

Thank you! Yes, I've heard that getting the first draft down on paper is actually the easy part - what have I started?!!
