All is well in the writing realm - for now

Tonight I just finished polishing the first draft of my newest - The International Space Station. Uploaded it to the copyright office as well. This is the point where, for a very short while, I am content with it. I have gone through it completely and checked off the basics:

• Three acts all in the right places - check
• Inciting incident where it needs to be - check
• Theme stated - check
• Break into two and three handled correctly - check
• Characters have some life to them - check
• Dialogue isn't on the nose - check

For tonight all seems right with it. Over the next week or so it will be read by family and friends, as well as a couple of industry pros. Once those reviews come in I'll realize what an utter pile of garbage it is and the real work will begin.
