World's End is Done!
94,954 words down and the book (and series) is finished!
I can't believe that after all these years I've finally finished the series. I started the original Rift Riders back in 2003, sticking it up on Elfwood in three chapter bursts. It took three months and was something ridiculous like 150K words. But after I stalled somewhere in the middle of book 3 - because Mhysra was being miserable and Lyrai... I can't remember. It's possible everyone thought he was dead around then, thanks to Yullik stabbing him in the chest. Anyway, I lost interest and left it well alone. I didn't return to it until 2010 when I went back and wrote Wingborn, with more women in it and less super-speshul Mhysra moments.
It's been a slog at times, but it's done! DONE, I SAY! Well, apart from the novella that deals with some of the aftermath and the inkling of an idea I have percolating about some maybe descendants and stuff, but mostly, for this moment, right now, the Wingborn series is over. I am exhausted. Although that might have more to do with what I did with my celebratory morning off…
I hope your week has been going as well as mine.
Take care, my lovelies!

Long haul but wow! That is awesome, m'dear.
Can you send some of that spring up this way? Is rather miserable here and quite cold.
