I finished this draft of my book.
My due date to finish was July 1. I wrote the date on a sheet of paper and typed it on the wall behind my computer to encourage me to keep writing. It worked.
I beat my due date and finished June 11.
Now I’ll read through the manuscript and clean it up.
Some characters’ names changed two or three times as I was writing the story. I’ll make sure each character has the proper name.
I’ll delete repeated material. To my surprise, it happens.
And of course, the needed proofreading.
I’ve written the next due date, October 1, on a sheet of paper and typed it on the wall behind my computer to encourage me to keep writing.
I’ve already finished the first chapter.
