Where I talk to you about linguistics and anthropology, science fiction and fantasy, point of view, grammar geekiness, and all of the fascinating permutations thereof...
I wrote a post over at my author website about how it feels to get so close to the end of a major project that takes years. I'm writing my three "farewell chapters" now, and it's a challenge. Go here for more... :)
I'll probably feel that way too when I reach that point for my YA fantasy in particular. Of my projects I cycle through, that's my oldest one. I already know the gist of the climax event, since that's what I dreamed up first (literally), but doing sufficient lead up and resolution from it will be hard. Is hard, considering I'm trying to work out what led to that situation.
I'll be very glad to have it done and sad to say farewell to those characters.
