novella nearing the end

so i just finished a round of intense edits from my editor on my novella. i THINK that this means we are close to copyediting...which means i THINK i am nearly finished. at any rate there are no more major rewrites at the moment and so i FEEL finished.

it is a strange feeling. there have been other times in the process of writing this novella where i felt "finished" but this one seems the most real. and it is strangely quiet in my head.

the moment of quiet that comes at the end of a creation is to be cherished and protected i think.

selah.
