"Atonement" complete

Yep, it's finished, with 12 chapters altogether, 9-14 pages each. It was about the shortest time I've ever finished a multichapter story, considering that I started it after the summer season of picowrimo, so I'm reasonably proud of myself.

The last two chapters have been typed up, proofread (alas, only by me) and will be released during this weekend and the next one, respectively.

Mum and I have celebrated with eggnogg, sipped from dark chocolate shot glasses. She never read a word of what I've written, since she doesn't even speak English and doesn't share the vast majority of my interests (like sci-fi or fantasy; although we do watch "Castle" and the "Murdoch Mysteries" together). But she always celebrates with me whenever I manage to finish something.

Congratulations!

Happy early birthday, dear jenn_calaelen! I know it's still two hours from now (three where you live), but I'll have a very hectic day tomorrow and I don't want to forget about your special day.

Although, considering that you share it with my late grandfather who - more than everyone else - shaped the person I've become in my formative years, it would be hard to forget. :)

Many happy returnings, love and joy - I hope you're going to have a very lovely day tomorrow.
