@DaniellaOnAir It has gone through quite a few versions and I am sending out batches of queries at a time! Slow but steady.

Today:

Wrote about a paragraph of new words.
Edited a page.
Agonized (featuring overthinking) over a query letter.

@Meeo7bg The first (querying) is 66k, second is 65k. Both I consider complete, but I am looking for continuity between the two at the moment

We're going to catch a big one.
What a beautiful day!

Today I scrawled the word "FIN" at the end of the first draft of a novel.

Of course, it's not really "done," but I am setting it aside to enjoy the fact that THIS version of the draft is done. That is enough for today.

This is actually a short screenplay, instead of a short story. I learned a TON about storytelling from my screenwriting classes, and this is one of the projects.
