First Draft

I finished the first draft of my novel last week (Steve blogging here).  Actually I finished it the week before and disliked the ending so much I rewrote it last week.  Yesterday I added the last eight pages to the binder and figured that meant it was an official first draft.

Before I start on the second draft I'm filling in some gaps.  Ideas I had along the way but didn't want to stop and jump back fifty or a hundred pages to write the scenes.  I'm guessing that will keep me busy for a month or two and then it's back to page 1.
