So last night I officially declared my book done.  When it is eventually accepted by a publisher, the editor and myself will have plenty to do, I’m sure, but for now I’m satisfied.  And for those of you who have been reading my previous posts, I did in fact finish reading on the Monday before my birthday; thus I did meet my own deadline.  After that I did some minor tweaks, (though some of them proved to be bigger than I first thought) and as I predicted, I ended up with 707 pages.

Now I want to start on the sequel, but I don’t know where to start.  It’s a real challenge.  I want to write it, but I know I’m gonna really hate it at first.
