That’s it. I’ve finished writing The Novel. I was quite prepared to stay up until it was time to get up if I had to.

I wish I could say I felt happy. But I don’t feel anything. Well, utterly knacked out. That’s not very writerly or funky, is it?

Time for The Novel to ferment now. A month should do it. Yeah, right. I’m already thinking ways to tweak the ending. And bits I want to add in. Obsessed.

But. Tomorrow I am not going to think about it. Well, not much, anyway. I’m going to walk the dog, do yoga, snip at things in the garden. And we have tickets to see Mark Watson. Friday evening comedy. Bliss.

‘I’ve finished,’ I wearily told Lovely Bf. ‘That’s it, the first draft done.’

‘That’s brilliant,’ he exclaimed. ‘Any chance you could have a wash now?

Oh, yes, sheer glamour my life.
