Done is Good! (updated with sample:)

Back at good old Bryn Mawr College, at finals time there is a saying that has been passed down from generation to generation, one more of the secret society traditions like the bra dances and the may hole? Singing in classic greek and latin?

Perhaps not.

Just being grateful for a task done without the questioning of whether it is good or not. That of course comes later, but there is a moment of pleasure, ever fleeting though it may be, that we need to indulge ourselves for the simple fact that we have completed yet another of our HERculean tasks. This next week will have to be about paper writing and syllabus creating, (and piece picking upping) but for now, I am pleased to announce that I have a 56661 word novel that is for all intents and purposes complete. Will I go back and revise? For sure. Will I add and polish, indubitably. But for now, I will go to sleep, if not happy, at least a little bit proud of myself for my resolute will power and sheer ability to overcome. Sure, tomorrow may be another hard day, but today is over. Done is good. That's what I say.
