Being an author is like being in charge of your own personal insane asylum.

The End.

Well, I finished writing Ethan Cadfael: The Battle Prince. Well, the very rough first draft at any rate. As I typed the last sentence, I genuinely felt melancholic. I really didn't want to finish. I had so much fun writing this one.

I'll go through now and do a cursory edit, and divide the great big long block of words into chapters of some description, and then I'll file the story away and work on something else after a break of undetermined length. Maybe the rest of the year.

Who knows?

Today, I'll do nothing but a few silly things - answering some questions, playing silly games online... that kind of thing.

I'll also be grieving the end of a story that, for some reason, I've grown extraordinarily fond of. I honestly can't wait until it's ready to go out into the world. Not that I expect too many people to read it, but still, I'm feeling pretty good about it.

The happy ending (WHAT?! I wrote a happy ending? Me? No!) probably helped...

Oh, and before I forget, I've been interviewed by Rainy Kaye (of Rainy of the Dark). You can read that interview HERE if you want.

Right, I'm off to do nothing in particular. Have a great Wednesday!
