I handed it over at exactly 5:59 p.m. yesterday, one minute away from my 6 p.m. deadline.
Funny thing about my article -- my editor asked me for three pages; I gave him seven.
(I was eventually able to cut it down to five. By the way, it is so depressing to spend over 30 hours to write this kind of a sprawling article -- that number doesn't even factor in interviews,
transcribing, e-mails, phone calls and research -- and then have to cut it down by about 2,500 words.)
What can I say, I got really into the subject and uncovered a lot of interesting things to include.
Although I'm sure there will still be images coming in over the next week and other various tidbits of information that may have to be added, I am so glad it's (pretty much) finished.
I will be celebrating this weekend by doing nothing that requires writing.
Except for this.
