I can't believe it! I've finished the first draft of The Power of Bitterness!
For some time it has felt like an endless job to get it done. But then I finally decided that I should write it to the end no matter how horrible it turned out.
I can't just sit around waiting until I write splendid writing. Or rather don't write because I'm afraid it will suck.
So I started to write. With a few short pauses to stretch my back. And now I'm done.
Done, done, done. YES!
109 pages.
One page from the goal. It's not that bad. It feels like I'm on target.
Now I'll let this script get some rest. I need to get it out of my mind, so I can face it will some form of objectivity later.
I have a few trusted readers who I will ask to read it while it is resting. I need to know if there are any major flaws or gaps or misunderstandings when I start rewrite it into what will likely become my contest version.
In the meantime, I'll consider what I want to write next. I haven't given it a second thought. I'm not one of those who gets new ideas all the time. But I think it would be a good idea for my portfolio to have something contemporary, placed in this world.

Awesome! Congrats Desiree!
Thanks.
I just got back a looong list of spelling errors that shouldn't have been there. Sometimes Celtx stinks. On the other hand, I'm the one doing the writing, not Celtx. But it is the first draft. Is that an excuse?
