I’ve talked a lot about grief and that you don’t compare it or that grief doesn’t always come from death, sometimes it is from things ending or being lost: a marriage, bankruptcy, being fired. You grieve over those things also. But I wasn’t expecting the depression that slammed into me as I finished up the details of Balanced Luck and closed out that series. I’d been trying to figure out why I was having such a hard time and was so unmotivated.

I am grieving. I mean I didn’t kill everyone (I promise), but the story of Cori was done and I’m going to miss them.

I’m trying to fall into my epic fantasy and keep my attention forward, but Carelian is going to be missed.
