I didn't feel any different finishing Magician's End than it did finishing Rage of a Demon King, for example. It's the rear view mirror. By the time I'm done with rewrite, I'm pretty tired of it and thinking about the next one. I'm currently finishing up the text portion of The Chronicles of Pug (AKA known as Atlas of Midkemia before the title change) but I thinking about King of Ashes, and The War of Five Crowns. I'm always a book ahead in outlook. Best, R.E.F. ---- www.crydee.com Never attribute to malice what can satisfactorily be explained away by stupidity.
