Done?

Well, my manuscript is finished.

Is it any good? Dunno. I love it of course, but I really need to stop staring at it now. It is short for a novel, again, and yet, every time I try to patch something in to eke it out, the effect is unsatisfactory. I like it as it is.

I say 'As it is.' Naturally it needs to be stripped of semi-colons and ellipses like everything else I write. But yes, I like it. I think. It's meant to be funny, is it? Nothing is funny after being poked around so long. There's no guarantee this will work, it may get absolutely nowhere. One can only try. God I'm tired.

No, time to stop. I need the discipline to leave it alone, if only for a week, then come back, edit, format etc...

Come on, Boot, stop. Stop. Sign out, log out, leave it alone, stop!

And breathe...
