I've begun hinting that I was near the end of writing the first draft of my next big fantasy novel, Ikeisha. Well, guess what?
It's done.
I mean, of course it's not done--there are scenes I've skipped that I'll have to go back and add in, and then it still needs huge amounts of editing, but still, I got to the end. I even finished a draft of the epilogue.
Yay!
It's been a crazy ride. I've been working on this story for, oh... a long long time. And I'll keep working on it for a while as well, though I hope the editing won't take too long this time, but still. It's both incredibly exciting, and a little bit sad. But the end of anything good always is.
Though of course this may not be the end. I have tentative plans for a series in this world... but I'm going to work on finishing the first book first, ha ha.
Anyway, just wanted to let you all know the good news, though it will probably still be a while before the story is fit to be seen by human eyes. But never fear! I will be hard at work pruning and shaping it. The only question that remains is:
Now that it's done,
Where do I start?
