Final Author's Note

All right, sit back and enjoy the ending for a little while before I take you back to the real world with my A/N.

Ready? Okay.

Isn't that nice. We capped off at 45 chapters even, and you get to see the author talking in regular text as opposed to bold :)

So...it's over? Carpe Diem, book one, 273 pages, and I won't even tell you what it's saved as on my computer because it's so incredibly boring. Done. Finished.

I can honestly say that this is the first time I've ever finished a major story over 200 pages and been proud of it even when I finished. Usually, I start off on one level of writing, and take so long to finish the story that by the end I re-read the beginning and can't stand it. Yes, that happened this time, but it's not too bad, in my opinion. Not compared to the number of other times that's happened. So yay.

It really is nice to have this done. It's a finished story (when I start getting REALLY proud of my stories, I call them books), and one that doesn't weigh so heavily on my conscience anymore. Now I have time to work on my Halloween costume (CHELL~! From PORTAL~! My friend's having a trick-or-treat partay with a few of HIS friends, and his brother is going to sit at home-I think-and be all sullen like guys do), and go back to other stories on here, like Shoot for the Moon. I also REALLY want to write a novel that I can actually publish (seriously published, with editors and whatnot-not just self-publish, as I've done that before), and maybe even NaNoWriMo. I doubt it, but perhaps.

I'm actually quite pleased that I got this done around Halloween. It's a nice little...atmosphere, don't you think?

So, anyway, here is the final compiled list of everyone who has ever reviewed, along with my eternal gratitude to you all. Don't I sound all formal? 8D
