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!

Yippie skippy! I can't wait for you to start your liberty series. If that's the one I think it is, you gave me the first few chapters of it, and I thought it was awesome. I can't wait to get back into it! And if it's not that one, I'm sure I'll love it anyway just because it'll be written by such a good author.
