Susan, that's awesome! Just let it rest a bit before you dive into edits.
t /my two cents
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
That is a lot more than something Susan.
That is woohooworthy. Congratulations.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Thanks, y'all.
I just finished typing everything in--it's 124,500 words using the page count estimate method, 112,711 using Word's counter. (A normal amount of disparity, especially for dialogue-dependent writers.) That's 498 pages in 12-point, 25-line-per-page Courier New.
I'm going to let it rest for a week--do some of the housecleaning I've been neglecting, read for fun, and maybe draw up an editing strategy--and dive back in sometime next week.

Go, Susan!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Excellent, Susan.
