A Cycle

As I come near to finishing another novel, I feel bittersweet emotions raging inside of me. At times I feel an overpowering desire to finish! To finally complete what I have set out to accomplish. And other times I feel hesitant, because I don't want to say goodbye to these new friends of mine. Of course, finishing the novel isn't the end; I still must edit and rewrite, delete and add. But, the discovery of new people, the making of new worlds... Soon another adventure in another realm will have ended. It will be time for tearful farewells with these characters I have grown to love like children.

But with this coming end, starts a new beginning.
