I am writing a novel

I wasn't going to say anything BUT I'm 72,000+ words into the first draft of my debut novel. No agent, no publisher yet. I'm going to start revealing some notes from my journey. I have been journaling occasionally but only for myself. This is the first time I've made an official announcement. It feels a bit strange talking about it but obviously I'm getting excited here in the privacy of my own studio so I thought I would start sharing it around.
