I wrote the first half of the final chapter today, and I'm just as unsure about what to do with that bittersweet feeling as I was last year this time.. At the beginning of the month, it was all brand new, waiting to be explored and written, and now coming to the end of it it feels like they're old friends that I'm not ready to give up. I can admit it- I don't want to stop writing the story, even if this is the natural end of it. Looking back, knowing what the story was about and having a few basic ideas for it definitely helped, as did keeping a smaller focus. Instead of writing all sorts of subplots in and getting bogged down with nonessential details, they were simply alluded to. Maybe that's a project for later in the year. *grin*
How has yours been? The protags make any headway with those dark forces? ;D
