In this episode I’m sharing the experience of seeing the light at the end of the first draft tunnel and writing those last 20,000 words to reach The End.

It was a relief, an “oh my gosh, I’m almost there!” moment. I braced myself. I still had to keep doing exactly what I’d already done for almost two years and 130,000 words.

It got closer. And yet, I still had to show up and write 1000 words each day, letting the days pass and the words add up. It became bittersweet. I didn’t want it to end.

And then, inevitably, I wrote the last words.

Thank you so much for listening.
