Yeah, I had the draft done early, but 2/3rds of it was handwritten and typing it was a bitch and a half. I was barely done in time, but I freaking finished. I was just a bit over 20,000 words. It was over 10,000 words typed in ONE day, about four hours. My hands were like pulp when I was done.

I don't have a beta...are there proper channels to go find one for such a long work? I plan to do at least two weeks of revision by myself before I send much of anything to a beta. I like stepping back and taking a look at what I've done and fixing any totally glaring errors before I send the draft out into the world.

Any help on locating a beta would be appreciated.

Congrats to the finishers and better luck next time to all those who didn't quite make it!
