Ok, I'm kind of ecstatic right now. I just finished writing my first novel. Well, I guess it's not really a novel, more like a juvenile fiction novel (and the rough draft at that), but it's 19,500 words. I thought about pushing it to 20,000 but I just wasn't up to it yet. I still might, but if I do I don't want it to be just a push for words. It's only a rough draft, so it could go up or down by a couple kilos pretty easy (I'm pretty sure I'll completely cut chapter five because it pulls away from the feeling, point, and plot of the whole thing.).
In other news, My wife read my blog and said, "you sound kind of angsty when you write your blog." She might be right.
On a side note, that's something that I learned in German class. "Das mag wahr sein." It means "that might be true". My german teacher said that this is an invaluable phrase to married people. That's true. Not just the words, because saying something like this without meaning it can lead to all sorts of trouble. But it's true that you should always be open to the fact that your spouse may be correct.
So now I just want to tell you how wonderful it is to be married for five years. Five years and three kids. It's been hard. It's been fights. And most of all, it's been great.
Later

It is good to have an outlet. "Angsty" or not. =)
Congratulations on five years!
