It is so wonderful to rediscover your characters and see how they grow. I'm re-reading book 1 as I write and it's stemming pages of notes for book 2. All those details - how to keep it straight? My book bible helps as a reference for sure. Kudos to you for writing book 3! I'm sure it's sad to say goodbye - anyway there could be a spinoff book from other characters? Keep them going as long as you can :) I would actually slow down my writing at the end of a book so my characters wouldn't leave me. Congratulations!

Perhaps you may find other adventures for new characters (joy for those of us eager to return to Story) and that world of yours can come to life again! I can always hope.eden unger bowditchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17874537224610872095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-67082919501340103272014-10-02T13:59:49.822-05:002014-10-02T13:59:49.822-05:00I am with you, my friend.

While I was of course sad to say goodbye to my characters in the STORYBOUND books, it was equally sad to say goodbye to their world.Marissa Burthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079821721448782710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-55784096702748716852014-09-30T15:46:35.474-05:002014-09-30T15:46:35.474-05:00The third book of my series was SO HARD to write! ...The third book of my series was SO HARD to write! For all of the reasons you mention here, plus a swelling cast list. Since it was (possibly) the conclusion of the series, I had to account for everybody, leave no one out, and still give myself wriggle room to continue if I'm lucky enough for more books to be picked up.<br /><br />And oh so bittersweet. When I typed The End I didn't know whether to celebrate or cry.Dianne K.
