An Odd Feeling
The last part of Pirates of the Archipelago is done, subject to revision, and I'm left feeling a little lost as I often am when I've finished a story.
As I've said before, author time is 1000x reader time, and only a very good author indeed can make his readers inhabit the world he creates in his story to the same extent that he does.
I've loved creating the character of Annie McLuskie and I'm sure she'll be back some day. I had similar difficulties letting go of Sunny Moon after I finished The Clockmaker's Girl. And, unusually, I've no idea what the next Tale of Glory is going to be about, although the title Pandas of Gold has a certain appeal. :)
