So: how did I do?
I'm still working on draft 3, and I did go a little bit crazy this summer (that is: anxious, overwhelmed, insecure), so I'll likely give myself a C+, or maybe a B-, because, after all, I worked hard.
I aim to finish the novel next year ... but in truth, that's hard to imagine, so I think I'll revise my resolution to "finish drafts 3 and 4." That's safer because there could well be 6 drafts.
Perhaps I won't even say anything about crazy, because that's just part of the process.
Writing a novel is a glacial process, and, as with glaciers, there is a lot unseen under the water.

sugar, if you only went a little bit crazy, give yourself an A.
Jeanne, that's sweet of you!
I think you deserve an A, too. That's marking yourself way too hard. I finished draft 9(b) of my latest, and there is surely going to be a draft 10.
Music to my ears...I needed that as I push myself to begin again my work on my novel...Good luck, Sandra, and keep up the good work..
Lillian, thank you. Draft 9!
Each of my drafts have drafts, so right now I'm working on the fifth draft of the third draft of the last chapters of Part II.
Happy New Year!
Thirtytwo degrees, good luck to you, too. Perseverance is everything.
