Hi Joseph! It’s been a while since I wrote into your blog, but I have been reading it every week to encourage me to keep working on my project. I have been working on a draft of a fantasy novel, and my goal was to finish this draft by the end of Q1. And I did it! This Sunday I finished it, and I was expecting to feel ecstatic or relieved or something. Instead, I felt sort of melancholy, and empty almost. I wondered how you (or anyone else who’s writing into this blog) feel after finishing a project or completing a massive step? Are you excited? Do you celebrate? Does it feel anti-climatic? Do you ever feel strangely sad afterwards? I’ve moved past by melancholia though, and I still have a lot to do before I start the next draft. I am now moving on to the arduous task of: WORLD BUILDING. Which I have no clue how to do. But my goal for next week is to create a timeline of the history of my fantasy world. See you next week!
