Almost there

In May 2013 I wrote a big chunk of Vert Glace while on holiday.  I think I finished the first draft in June.  Since then, I've fleshed out the world a lot more through writing about other characters in the same world (Sasha for example).  I've also had my dear friends tear my draft apart.  

And now, a year and a half later, it's finally back together again in one document.

All I have left to do is to go back over it and do one more edit pass (at least, that's how I break it down to myself so I don't hulk out and destroy this peaceful seaside town).  

I thought that I would be pleased and excited.  I thought that I would feel accomplished.

But here I am, sweating and insecure like the world's biggest dork.  I'm sure that in the next few weeks I'll be fighting procrastination like Samuel L Jackson fought those snakes on a plane.

Maybe after this last push I'll start to feel more like a phoenix rising out of the flames.
