All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's call it a draft.

[truepenny]

The Mirador: approx. 163,700 words.

Tomorrow, I send it to my editor. And actually squeak in just ahead of my deadline.

I have, at this moment, ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA whether the book works or not. All I know is, I'm done with it.

(Until my editor gets back to me and tells me what it needs done.)

Congratulations! Finishing a manuscript *and* making the deadline--truly cause for celebration!

[heresluck]

Hurrah for being done!

And yeah, you'll tweak stuff later, but still: Done!

[pameladean]

Hooray!

Do enjoy the blessed interval between being done with it and having to receive editorial opinions. It is often too short-lived.

Oh well done.

I hope the editor likes it, and look forward very much to reading it myself.

Much applause! I've been recommending your books to customers at work (independent bookstore of good size in CA).
