IT IS DONE
I started writing Rexque Futurus, my vaguely BBC Merlin Arthurian story inspired by sally-maria's LJ post, in 2015, and now at last it is DONE.
Chapter 15 : Beyond Destiny is the last chapter, in which we discover the world is changed forever, learn what the Future King does once the Darkest Hour is done, inform the bees of our progress, and return the Volvo to its garage.
No beta for this last chapter, I have spent far too long agonising over how to get here and couldn't bear to bother someone to beta read it having finally got there.
I think if I ever write anything novel-length again, I'm just going to write the ending first and then go back and write the rest of it. This business of starting at the beginning and proceeding onward is far too hard.
But I am pleased, I think, with what I wrote, even if I did learn some things about not making an adversary so ridiculously hard that any form of defeat for him feels a bit anticlimactic.
