"It's been long enough."

I have posted the final chapter and the epilogue of "A Guardian's Legacy". They can be found here and here, respectively. Or, if you have some time to spare and are so inclined, you can read the whole thing from the beginning.

46 chapters. 146,489 words (!). Once upon a time, I had a childhood ambition -- someday, I would write a novel. Well, here it is. It's not exactly how I thought it was going to happen, back then, but how often can we really predict the future?

I still can't quite believe it. Even though I typed the words "The End" and changed the status to "Complete" and put that same word in the summary. I've been traveling with Auron for a long time now, and it's so weird to think that the journey is finished. Well, this particular journey anyway. I feel like I should have something momentous to say, something that will wrap it all up, but nothing is coming to mind. Maybe that's just as well.

The End.

Congratulations! That is a big deal indeed. It's always hard after a story is done to just let it go; I find I suffer a small sense of loss when I'm finished writing something. Then again, maybe I'm just being a baby, lol.

Anyway, Woo Hoo!

Congratulations!

Thanks! It is hard to let it go, to really realize that it's finished and that I'll never write any more of it again. First it was all in my head, and then it was slowly taking shape, and now all I can do is read it. It's out of my control, in the world all by itself. I'm so excited to be able to say that it's done, but I also miss it already. If that sounds silly, so be it. :)
