Gorge Creek finished.

I've done it. Finished the first draft of my current book, tentatively titled "Gorge Creek". There's still heaps of editing to go, stuff to cut out, parts to rewrite so they  make sense, awkward bits to cut and lyrical bits to add. But the first draft is done. The story is ended. It's taken nearly 4 years, from that first idea but the story is now all done. And that feels brilliant!!!
    The way I look at it is this. In the first draft, you write down What you want to say. The remaining drafts are where you figure out How you are going to say it. And that is so much easier.
