Well, it's done.
As of twenty-five minutes ago, I have completed putting the entire manuscript through Grammarly, checking for grammar and syntax. That's the better part of three weeks that it took to accomplish that.
There is going to be some going through it with a fine tooth comb, no doubt making a few minor changes here and there. But otherwise, the text of my book is complete. It has underwent multiple revisions and checks. It's pretty much as good as it's going to be.
From completing the first draft last November on through its final form today, it's been eight and a half months of work. The grammar checking has been done well ahead of schedule.
I've been focused, very nearly wholly dedicated on completing my book, since January of 2024. And here it is, early August 2025. I like to think that I'm coming out of the process none the worse for wear.
All that needs doing now is formatting for publishing. And that won't take long.
I'm going to allow myself to feel good tonight.
