Getting over it

[destinie21]

Is it just me or does anyone else feel a sense of sadness when they finish writing a series? It's sort of like saying goodbye to good friends that you know you'll never see again.

I stopped doing that, because it irked me to stop, as you say, but even more so, because the readers would ask for more when I was not planning to revisit.

So I call the series one long work, now, and publish all at once.

I still have to let go, but at least nobody bugs me to reprise it.

I feel the same way sometimes. Maybe that's why I manage never to finish my stories or post them.

If you have made your characters come alive, even if only in your head, there is always a bit of sadness when their story is done. At least for me.

I miss sitting in front of the fire and writing my NaNo-story with ink on paper.

I make up for it by sitting in front of the fire and re-writing the story into several little scenes that I will illustrate and turn into a comic.

People still ask me for more chapters of my novella, even though I quite clearly ended it in July. I did love writing it and I wish I could get absorbed in something like that again - I even dreamed about it night. It really was hard saying goodbye and moving on.
