Hooray for Popcorn, minus the Exclamation

This is the blog in which I turn cartwheels and max out my exclamation quota for the year.  This blog anounces that last night, in the wee hours of the morning, I finished the first draft of Popcorn Potion.

Now, this is very exciting–even though I know I’m writing in a montone.  It’s only that I can’t whoop and dance when I’m too tired to stand, can’t shout from the housetops when I’d rather climb into bed.

The funny thing is, the last few nights I could barely make myself sleep.  I was like a kid on Christmas Eve, knowing they need to sleep but way too wound up to do it properly.  I guess the holiday’s arrived, the sugar high has passed, and it’s time to take a long winter’s nap. 😉

So, if all of you would be so kind as to whoop on my behalf, or maybe even throw a bit of popcorn, that would be great.  I’m sure I’ll join you just as soon as I wake up.

    Hooray! I love and hate those last few very frenzied days on a novel. Last time I did that was the first time in my married life I’d finished a novel, and I think that my poor husband thought I was probably never going to talk to him again! I was manic.

    Lol, you guys give me energy, just from reading your comments! Thank you–and Greg, I’m glad you’re enjoying the popcorn. It’s on the house. 😉

    Cindy, congrats on keeping those novels churning through all of life changes. That may be the truest test of a writer. Oh, and I’ll let my dh know that so long as I fall short of manic, I must be doing okay. 🙂

    Well, I could be doing a lot better, but it’s more do to health than life changes. 😉 But hey, slow and steady wins the race too.

    And yeah – I kept doing things like laying down to take a nap with him, staying in bed five minutes and then bouncing up with a glint in my eye – “I just figured out what to do next! I have to go! Love you, have a good nap!”
