Endings

It’s done; having spent much of the last month scribbling on it, “Layers” has reached its conclusion.

While part of me – the part that isn’t currently holed up in the bathroom soaking in steam and peppermint oil, fighting to keep breathing, I suspect – is satisfied, proud of what I made, and riding a bit of euphoria that I managed to actually finish something for the first time in quite a while, I am not entirely sated.

I want more. There is no refractory period; just the urge to create something else. As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m not certain if that’s going to be starting work on “Maiax,” actually pushing forward with “Riptide” or the Department of Official Misinformation, or resurrecting Ex Inferis, but I am certain that there will be something else, that there must be something else.

To my (hopefully) loyal readers, I want to thank you. If you’ve enjoyed “Layers,” consider giving it a like, a share, or a rating over on Wattpad. It helps a lot. If it’s something you think you’d like on your Kindle, let me know; I’m currently debating on whether to reformat it and put it on Amazon, and your vote counts.

Even if you don’t, I still thank you. You give me the opportunity to put these words out there, you give me the small smidgen of determination that I have to carry on, and you give me an audience to tell these things to. I hope I’ve given you at least something in return.

Now back to breathing and scribbling.
