I did it! 50,000 all the way! A tremendous start. Thanks, Nicole and Jackie for your help. Couldn't have done it without you!

I am so excited for you and your project Danelle! You were such a trooper throughout this entire month learning and growing so much as a writer!

I am enjoying your personal essays about your writing. This, and last night's fish story. I hope you continue to do these!

Thanks ladies, last night I was thinking that I do need to add a new section of the Substack called Writing Life, because these are fun!

i squeaked past 50,000 last night. i surprised myself by feeling a little sad to be "done" with this story for a while. i need a break but i also loved spending so many days with these characters.

Oh I know that feeling! Congratulations! The two ladies above also were early finishers on the 29th! It seemed that was the big day for so many!

How long of a break are you planning to take?

That’s always a good plan. It will give you fresh eyes to read it with when you return!
