I got my second wind and managed to bang out the remaining portion of the book. Total word count according to OpenOffice is 62,392 words, or 141 pages of single-spaced, 12pt Times New Roman text.

I'll be sending it off to a few readers I trust to look over for basic spelling/grammar and input on the story. For tonight though, I'm calling it and spending the rest of the night doing nothing in particular and feeling good about it for once.

I've officially finished as many novels in 2013 and 2014 as I finished between 2003 and 2012.
