Trinity Finis

This afternoon I completed Metatron's Arch, an epic fantasy novel composed of three volumes: Illuminated Shadows (written from July 13th of 2000 to October 7th of that same year), followed by The Marble Index (written from August 8th of 2010 to January 2nd of 2011), and The Age of Nothing, which I began on January 28th of this year and finished today. The three volumes combine to form one enormous 882 page novel. Each volume was written out entirely by hand. I'm not sure if I'll ever try to get it published: I don't feel like typing the whole thing out, then there's the question of editing it (as volume I in particular is kind of weak, seeing as I was only 20 when I wrote it, and is thus very derivative). And I always just saw it as a fun thing to work on in between my more serious literary projects. In any event, it's a good feeling to finally wrap up a story I've had in my head for eleven years now, and to bring it all to a close. Actually, it feels good not having any writing projects to speak of at all right now.
