So It Has Begun...

... the beginning of the end.

Or at the very least the end of Angel of the Heart, because today I start work on the final chapter of that story. Of course the story doesn't exactly end there... but this part of the journey does.

It's a funny old feeling and one that I remember from when I wrote the final chapter of Power Is, all those many years ago. Accomplishment and happiness, yes, but it's mixed with a kind of sadness to let go of the characters and events in a story... and a kind of fear to send them out into the world, knowing that they're a complete little entity in and of itself.

So, I'm writing the ending of Angel of the Heart, and at the same time, in the back of my mind, I'm wondering how it all moves forward into Star of the Morning... and trying to count those loose ends that will remain behind (deliberately) at the end of Angel, so that they can tie the bow on Star.

These are my rambling thoughts as I sit at my computer this morning...
