and then you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you;

I finished it. The first draft of A Hero Lies in You is complete.

Just shy of two months and 85,384 words. I have never been able to keep up that pace for a draft before, so that's a huge milestone. My current plan is to let it sit until June, where I will print it out and do my first round of edits. Mostly, scenes I know need details/rewrites and removing all the filler words that come from writing so much so quickly. Then it's off to beta and I see if it holds up as well as it does in my head.

July will be rewrites (depending on what's come back) as well as starting part 2 as my July project for Camp Nanowrimo. :3 Assuming I can haul ass through part 2, I hope to start posting A Hero Lies in You by the end of summer, and then tackle part three for Nanowrimo in November.

I have also crushed my goal for [community profile] getyourwordsout, which is also great. Going to work on some drabbles and things to keep my mind busy until I can tackle rewrites.
