One quiet moment
I’ve spent most of the year working on Book #3 which is now with the line editor. Phew, it’s the best, longest and most complicated thing I’ve written yet! What I want to articulate is that feeling of relief after (mostly) finishing a long project. Focusing on this one project in my spare time, excluding lots of other things I enjoy doing. Getting sad when people talk about how cool Baldur’s Gate 3 because I’ve missed all that getting this novel done. Really wanting to see this book done but always with more work to do on it, and trying to remember why I started this in the first place… And then it reaches a stage gate and I can relax. I know a ‘weight off my shoulders’ is a bit of a metaphor, but that’s what it feels like. It’s nice to have this moment to breathe and relax, a space where there are no pressing commitments.
And what do I want to do? Write something else! Videogaming might have to be put off a bit longer…
What do you feel like when you finish some momentous task? Do you want a break, or want to start the next big thing?

I’m Kell. I write urban fantasy in an interconnected universe. I’ve published one novel so far, and I’m working on the sequel. The premise of the universe is: Did you ever wonder what happened after the Dark Lord was defeated, and when the magic left the world? It’s been two thousand years since the forces of Darkness were defeated. Now, there’s a modern world of cars, skyscrapers and officers. Elves run fashion magazines. Orcs go to office jobs, and everyone thinks that the age of wizards and dragons is folklore. It’s a perfectly ordinary world…on the surface. But magic hasn’t gone away—it’s merely hiding in the cracks of the world. My current series, the Revenant Records, is an urban fantasy series focusing on ghost stories, mysteries and dark adventure. It’s the story of an undead teenager, trying to balance her responsibilities to help lost ghosts, while maintaining a semblance of a normal life. I love roleplaying games and I’m writing a system for my story world/universe. My mega-fandoms are Doctor Who, Final Fantasy VII, and Transformers.
