A Happy Ending--or is it? Adventures in Writer-land!

Howdy!

Wow. Today is the day I finish my novel, My Fair Demon. This was a rough book to write. I love the hero so much but, as he is in the context of the story--stubborn, opinionated, and down write wild at times--he was a hard one to write.

I think that the best characters are the ones that fight you every inch of the way, btw, the ones who sink the deepest in your heart.

Take Blalock, for example. In The Devil To Pay, he was a clever, handsome demon who didn't give a damn about anything except finishing his assignment successfully and getting back to his nice comfy pit, torturing poor souls for all eternity.

Then, the impossible happened.

He failed.

So, the book My Fair Demon is about his punishment. This time, he's human, he's going crazy with human emotions and insatiable lusts, and he has a beautiful woman he must train to trap men's souls. Oh, yeah. Did I mention he's a hottie? An ultra hottie.

Oh, and he's against the the man who's soul he's trying to steal, his mother, the chic that the Devil sends to thwart him, and the Devil himself, of course.

But that's not the worst of it. Oh, no. The heroine is temptation with a capital 'T' and she's got a thang for him, LOL.

Ahem. So, now I'm at the end of the book, where I give him over to his wonderful heroine and a deserving 'Happy Ending.'

Everybody's just peaches.

That is, except me.

I've come to love the guy, too. I'm so going to miss him when the story's over.

So, here's my question to you all. Ever get to the end of a book--one you're writing, or reading--get upset that you have to finish?

I have. In fact, I once put off writing the end of the story for a whole year. But, in the end, I knew I had to finish, because let's face it. Every hero deserves his happy ending.

The best therapy I can think of is to start another book, lol. Of course, I still have revisions ahead of me, so I can hang on to Blalock a bit longer.

Have a great day and Happy Reading!
