Book 2 and Endings

Today, I began work on editing the first draft of Book 2: "Sisterhood of Suns: Widow's War". Except for a few additional scenes that will undoubtedly find their way in to fill gaps, the book is done. And I found myself experiencing something that I always do at the end of such a long project—especially where fictional characters are involved.

The best description would be a writer’s form of port-partum depression. For the last two years, I’ ve spent my time with the characters, moving on from where they were in Book 1, and going forwards. I lived with them, loved with them, fought along side them and also cried with them. 

And then suddenly, it’s over. Editing while extremely important, is largely a mechanical process. The actual raw writing is more visceral and I feel as if, to use the hackneyed expression, a chapter (or rather, chapters) of their lives—and mine has--come to a close.

But, thankfully, their story is not completely over. There is much more of it to tell, and I look forwards to continuing the journey with the womyn of the Sisterhood. I hope that my readers will feel the same way, and travel with us as we move into Book 3.
