At the end of a big project, a formal feeling comes . . . Seriously, it's a strange feeling when you finish something. I always vacillate between relief, excitement, and a low-grade despair -- what do you do next? When you're in the midst of work, all you can think about is what you can do when you finish. When you finish, all you can do is wonder what to do. All those ideas don't seem as good as when you can't get to them. Human nature, just like when you have no money and can find a bunch of items to buy and when you have money to burn, nothing appeals. Tomorrow I will rally and write again. But tonight, I wish my characters goodbye one last time with both joy and sadness.

I know where of you speak. There will always be the feast, the famine and the days between when sitting at the table is good enough.
Recently I've had so many writing projects that I haven't been able to have that sense of closure. I kind of miss it.
Michelle,
I hope one day to be finally finished with my book(s), so i can see what it feels like! :) Someday...
Hiya Bella, I always hate to finish a book if I get attached to the charachters, so I can't imagine the attachment if you create them! Relax and enjoy and lets get together for cocktails soon! xo
