I figure my brain needs those breaks to process things. I’m a lot more forgiving of my procrastination these days. I figure my brain needs those breaks to process things.

Leaving my characters is hard. This may be why of the five novels I've written, four of them take place in the same town and I've even got that other blog written by character from that town. Seems I can never leave. Shelli, thanks, as always, for stopping by. Your comments no matter how brief are appreciated. I can't say that enough. And to TIV, thanks for making a comment. Glad you liked the music. I liked the video first for the art--it was a relief to enjoy the music as well. And you're right about procrastination. But since it never sleeps, perhaps I'll just have to ambush it some time. All I need is a trip wire and a bat. To moanna, I agree. Leaving my characters is hard.

I know you will. Very cool video. I gotta go feed somebody lunch, or I'd write more. You’ll get it done. I know you will.

Very cool video.

My thought was maybe if you identify a book after this in which one of your characters can continue to live, then you'd be ok about closing this one. I've always thought that's why authors who write a string of books about one character can spit one out year after year. It's that they don't have to say goodbye. Ok, so I'm too emotional. But I love the people in the books I read. They're not characters they're frickin' people in my mind. See, you had no clue crazy people lurked around your blog, right?

What if it's not that you're procrastinating, it's that you're writing the last chapter, you're almost finished and something inside of you is not ready to cross the finish line. It's like when you read a wonderful, yummy, delicious book and you slow down reading because you don't want to leave the story, you know you'll miss the characters you've come to love. How much harder is it to leave if you're the one who brought them to life? Here’s another possibility to consider.
