Four years.

That's what it took, from conception to completion to finish Faerie-Tale: The Princess' Odyssey.
Four years... So much has happened within that time frame, but I'm glad it all did and I'm glad I now have a complete book that will always remind of certain little things I may otherwise forget. Things like typing away and thinking up new ideas whilst talking away to Lady J on MSN into the early hours, or sword fighting with Serra in the back garden just to make sure what I'd written was accurate and could be done.
It's funny though as over the four years, a lot of things have changed in not just my life, but the lives of my friends, we're more mature and have different opinions on things now that may not have been so back then, and as I look at The Princess' Odyssey and The Enchantment War, it's astounding to see that Elloria and Imm'arog have grown with us.
It's not just a sudden thing either, over the course of the first book, the characters grow, and by the second, we see the next step in that maturity which will only continue on the the second book and hopefully into the third.
I know it's seriously egotistical, but I'm proud of myself for what I accomplished. Especially when I had doubts about ever finishing Faerie-Tale.
