Home of The Overworld, Tales of the Aekhartain and Wrystan
Seasons Greetings and Midwinter Merriness, to one and all!
With tails wags and cuddles,
Dog dances and cheer,
The Reindogs wish you
A Happy New Year!
See you in 2020!
PS. I finished Setting Sun! Expect actual book releases and a whole new series next year. Take care, everyone xx
94,954 words down and the book is finished.
Not only is this the end of the book, it’s the end of the Wingborn series! YAY!
This isn’t the end of the Overworld, of course – I haven’t finished the Dragonlands series yet, and I’ve already got a novella idea about what happens with certain characters after World’s End – but this plot arc is done. Done, I say!
Which is pretty big, because I’ve been playing with the Wingborn/Rift Riders stuff since 2003 after I had my first dream about a girl and her dog in a skiff being dragged across a sea of clouds by her giant eagle. Things have certainly changed a lot since then, and there were years when I didn’t touch the books, but still, the ideas and characters have been with me for a while, so it was nice to finally get to the end of it all.
I am exhausted. Although that might have more to do with what I did with my celebratory morning off…
Serenaded by skylarks, watched over by buzzards, surrounded by primroses and the first budding leaves on the alder trees, with bursts of sunshines overhead, I do believe that spring might actually be here.
I hope your week has been going as well as mine.
Take care, my lovelies!
I broke my brain, but I win! The Icarus Child is done!
I’ve written 13.5K words today. Starting at 8 ish. I broke off to watch Tim Peake rocket up to space, then had to break later on to drive my mum somewhere because of rain, but otherwise I powered through on a diet of Galaxy chocolate, copious amounts of water and Ori and the Blind Forest soundtrack (and a couple of others – I will have to talk music sometime).
It makes no sense. I don’t even care. It is done! Book is finished! I’m not even going to touch it until the new year.
Now I can catch up on my reading, put up decorations, wrap presents, see family and look after the dog who has an ear infection and a lip infection and all kinds of skin infections (apparently, though he seems fine, but the vet says, so *shrug* and he’s a foolish pedigree), and probably sleep a lot. Because it is December and it’s wet and we’re not quite halfway out of the dark yet.
Proper update tomorrow. For now – yay!
(Ow, my head)
