Aiden Chapter 36

It's always sad when you know you are getting close to the end of a story. For the reader certaintly, but for the writer as well. It will be hard for me to walk away from Aiden and I'll be sad when his final sentence is written. It's always hard to say goodbye to a character, but Aiden is in many ways my inner character. Aiden has gone through more of my own struggles, especially with Deus, than any other character I've every written. And that will be hard to give up as well.
You are now coming to the final chapters in Aiden's journey both to home and to himself. And I am even farther than you. For you still have a quite a few chapters left, while I am one chapter from closing Aiden's story with that ever important final sentence. And although it does last longer for me, as I have to edit and rewrite, it is finishing that first version that gives you the sense that what you have lived in your mind is now fully on paper.
So, while it is a sad affair, more vivid in Aiden's case, I am looking forward to the next story that will march it's way onto the freedom of paper. For I'm dying to start writing my Liberty Series and I've vowed not to start her until Aiden is finished his first draft. So, I'll continue to write and hopefully you will continue to read and when we are both done, we can say we learned something on the journey and had a grand time doing it!

New Chapter....finally!

I have just posted Chapter 15 of Daelia. My life has slowed down a bit, so hopefully I can be a little more faithful about writing from here on out. Given the fact that 8 months have passed since I last posted a chapter, I will understand if you would prefer to just wait until the first draft is finished before reading. But if you choose to honor me with your comments, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
