FINISHED!!

The first draft my 'big SF novel' is done, and it's put me in a right good mood.

I had to shorten it to thirty five chapters from forty, but that's because I really loosely outlined the last 10 and a lot of the stuff either got scrunched together, or was plain obsolete because of earlier plot changes.

Anyway, it's done and I'm glad. I'll give it a week or two to simmer then I'll begin the second round.
