This is one of my favourite books, and unfortunately for myself, 9 years later.... I still haven't finished writing it. Not that I've been trying, I gave up at the end of NANOWRIMO in 2012. I enjoyed writing it because that year I'd finally been able to take formal writing classes, so all the lessons from the writing course I took, were still fresh. I fell in love with the main female character, the drama in the story line and the tragedy of it all. The writing style was very descriptive and had a lot of texture. Sadly, it's not completed. Although the reader will know what the ending ultimately is, I just couldn't close the loop and I decided to forgive myself. I've never heard of a writer doing that. But I did.
I just read the words: "Honour the Gift." It was in honour of my gift to pour from my spirit until there wasn't a drop left. Maybe one day when I'm old and grey, I will find a way to close the loop and on that day, I will resume. Until then, it remains incomplete but completely beautiful in just how beautifully it's written, and all the pleasure I had in writing it. This was the last work of fiction I wrote, and I've always said I want to go back to writing fiction.
I will.
