Arghhh and avast me mateys!

Not only is it International Talk Like a Pirate Day, but guess what? I FINISHED MY FREAKIN' NOVEL! IT'S DONE! THE TOWER!GUY NOVEL IS DONE!

Oh, sorry, let me put that into a piratical poem for you:

Come 'n kick up yer peg legs
Grab a wench and some grog
For I've got wond'rous things
That I'll tell on this blog

Now ye know I been writin'
Aye, the rumours be true
Though the goin' were rough, lads
I'm all the way through!

Through the mornin' and evenin'
Oh, I wrote and I wrote
How I did it with a hook hand
Arghh, I'll say not a mote

I faced the blank pages
With one eye and a patch
The cursor was a-blinkin'
But she were no match

I wrote though them pages
Was blizzardy blank
And I felt a scallywag
Walkin' the plank

But the novel, she's done
And my tale is told
So, aye, pass the rum
And hope it gets sold!


Final word count: 87555 (in Open Office). 308 pages. Twenty-two chapters and an epilogue.

Happy ITLAPD to everyone, and I'm off to find something suitable to celebrate with. Because I'm under budget (word wise) and I came in before my deadline. Thus, I am awesome.
