I already know I need to do some serious rewriting. The world lacks integrity and structure, my characters aren't the greatest, the action's all over the map, and I may even have to scrap the ending. There's also the nagging hints of a sequel, which I'd rather not feel obligated to write. But I wrote the words "THE END", so that means it's a finished rough draft.
It feels good to finish a draft. Even a rough one.
It feels even better to accomplish a goal, such as winning NaNoWriMo 2009.
