I almost gave up about 6 o clock tonight... I had friends who wouldn't let me quit either. I finished writing it at 11:35 and submitted it at 12:54 - talk about cutting it close. PROUD OF YOU FOR NOT GIVING UP!!

Finished with 4 hours to go with 3800 words! 

Luckily, I'm not an awesome writer but I'm a pretty dang good writer. 

Ripped the story to shreds, got down to 2300, got my wife to beta read it, added a bit more detail and ended with 2467.

Phew! First time submitting my writing for ANYTHING, so this has already been SUCH a great learning experiencing. Cheers everyone! 

Jairus.

Delighted to say I got it down to 2497 with a few hours to spare before the deadline.

First writing project I've taken on in over a year, first I've taken to completion in about three, and first I've submitted in almost six. feel a huge sense of accomplishment tonight.

Congrats to all who got their stuff done.

@Suave @Random Thank you! It's been a busy Sunday too, but about to hit the 'pause' button and retire to the sofa with a book. I'm exhausted.
I'll read your stories when you post, and ... well, I'll be writing again whenever Screenplay comes along. 

Hope you're getting a good, restful Sunday.

I am still winding down a little. But happy I turned in my first Romance....
