Closing on 'The End'

Writing the final scenes of a novel is always a little bittersweet for me.  As much as I'm driven to write, particularly after I've survived the slog through the middle, it's always a little sad to be saying goodbye to the characters. 

And even though I've only lived with Matt and Amara in my head for a little over two months, I still feel intensely connected to them and it will be hard to let them go.

But I will finish this story.  Coming to the end fulfills a promise made to the characters at the start. 

Enough introspection. . . time to open the file and do the work.
