As an avid reader those two words, the end, have always given me a sad sense of loss. Some of the most memorable moments of my life ended with those words; the end of Harry Potter, the end of the Nicholas Flamel series, the end of Narnia, even the end of "The Office" tv series, all left me feeling like a friend had moved across the country never to return.
I find it rather ironic that tonight those words have had the opposite effect, I have never in all my life been so happy to see "the end"! I did it, I FINALLY finished my 1st book! The minute I typed those words I sat back in my chair and said, "Holy crap." (though it sounded much more like "Hoooooooooly Craaaaap!!!") What a relief! I'm not looking forward to the editing part of this endeavor but for now I'm basking in the glory that is the end.
The good thing is that I don't yet have to say goodbye to my characters, there is a book two! I hadn't planned on a book two but as odd as it sounds my characters told me tonight there was more and there needed to be a book two. So I'm listening to the voices in my head and pushing forward, hope the end of book two comes sooner than the first!
