...going out of your door.  You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to."

I finished writing a full-length novel today.

Well, "finished" is a strong word.  There is still the hacking and slashing and double-checking required for a suitable rewrite.  But I started a novel and, after months of hard work, made it to the very end.  I've never done such a thing before.

I need editors.  I need a publisher.  But mostly, right now, I need a break, and some celebratory wine.  Or tea, seeing as it's hardly noon yet.

(Just to clarify, that quote is from the Lord of the Rings.  Not me.)
