At the begining of May I
wrote a blog post entitled Time in
which I talked about how time flies. The post
also included a short summary of my current WIP.
Status on 2nd May 2015:
- Working
Title: Project Two
- Status: Chapter Eight in progress
- Current
Total Word Count: 40773
I also wrote that I planned to finish it by the
end of August 2015. Today I can proudly say that I managed to do it. It was
finished on 31st August 2015.
With the help of a friend I wrote the second
draft and completed the first grammar corrections on that day. And wrote those
final two words: The End.
The
question mark?
To be honest I wasn't really sure it was the end - but it was...
finished.
I
struggled with writing the last sceenes of the last chapter. I always do. As
soon as the ending is in my head, I have a hard time putting the words on the
paper. It doesn't matter that I know I have to let them go - I still try to
hold on to the characters, to the story for one more day, one more
night...
But
then it's time - time to let go. But I
know they won't leave so quickly. There's an unavoidable way to meet them again
- through four dreadful letters.
EDIT
It is hard to say goodbye to your characters, but they wlll be forever in your mind and your heart. It is fantastic you have finished you new novel. I can hardly wait :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words Renata... I know you're right - they will stay with me..
DeleteYour books are like your children , you give birth to them, you give them names, you give them a story then you let them fly to soar and float in the world of the readers. Good Luck in your future, it is going to be a great one.
